Tar formation is a significant issue during biomass gasification. Catalytic removal of tars with the use of nickel cata-lyst allows to obtain high conversion rate but coke formation on catalysts surface lead to its deactivation. Toluene decomposition as a tar imitator was studied in gliding discharge plasma-catalytic system with the use of 5%, 10% and 15% by weight Ni and NiO catalyst on Al₂O₃ (α-Al₂O₃) and Peshiney (γ-Al₂O₃) carrier in gas composition similar to the gas after biomass pyrolysis. The optimal concentration of nickel was identified to be 10% by weight on Al₂O₃. It was stable in all studiedinitial toluene concentrations, discharge power while C₇H₈ conversion rate remained high – up to 82%. During the process, nickel catalysts were deactivated by sooth formation on the surface. On catalysts surface, toluene decomposition products were identified including benzyl alcohol and 3-hexen-2-one.
