“…Ultra-low sulfur fuel (typically below 10 ppmw, but even lower concentrations would be plausible) is needed for several applications both due to required reduction of relevant noxious compounds (e.g., SO x , H 2 S) emitted upon combustion/processing of the fuel and due to the well-known profound catalyst deactivation effect resulting from the presence of sulfur in catalytic thermochemical conversion processes. An example of such a process is hydrogen production via reforming of fossil liquid fuels, mainly diesel or diesel/biodiesel blends . In general, fossil fuel reforming is considered to be an important intermediate and cost-effective step towards the creation of a hydrogen infrastructure that will subsequently facilitate widespread use of the latter, environmentally friendly energy carrier.…”

“…An example of such a process is hydrogen production via reforming of fossil liquid fuels, mainly diesel or diesel/biodiesel blends. 1 In general, fossil fuel reforming is considered to be an important intermediate and cost-effective step towards the creation of a hydrogen infrastructure that will subsequently facilitate widespread use of the latter, environmentally friendly energy carrier. Moreover, it is an efficient and cost-effective option for decentralized hydrogen production to be used in fuel cell systems for zero-emission power production such as those examined in the NEMESIS 2+ project, funded by the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH-JU).…”

The present work is an experimental investigation of commercial diesel fuel liquid desulfurization via adsorption under mild conditions. The sorbent employed was a commercial high surface area activated carbon (AC) and studies involved both lab-and pilot-scale experiments performed in dedicated fixed bed setups. Under lab-scale conditions, maximum sulfur removal measured exceeded 90%, while according to breakthrough curves obtained the total sulfur content remained below 2 ppmw for up to 20-22 ml processed diesel/g AC. Process scaling-up by a factor of 15 showed a moderate negative effect, with the respective breakthrough fuel amount (total sulfur ≤ 2 ppmw) being approximately 15-17 processed fuel/g sorbent. Several sorbent regeneration strategies were studied under lab-scale conditions. The one with the highest restoration of initial (i.e. fresh state) AC performance involved heating under vacuum (200 mbara) up to 200 o C and subsequent washing of the material with a binary organic solvent. The amount of solvent required was 50-55 ml /g sorbent. However, even under such conditions, desulfurization performance was only partially restored upon repeated desulfurization/regeneration cycles. From the 2 nd and up to 7 th cycle, desulfurization efficiency of the material was essentially stable but from cycle number 8 and on further performance degradation was identified. Based on fresh/regenerated sorbent post analysis, it was found that cycle-to-cycle degradation was due to gradual decrease of the sorbent's surface area, mainly attributed to residual amounts of diesel-derived species remained in its structure thereby partially blocking its porosity. The main properties of processed fuel remained essentially unaffected, however removal of di-and poly-aromatic compounds was notable.

“…The low sulfur content (≤0.001 wt.%) in diesel fuel of modern grades greatly promoted the development of fuel processors [ 3 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. Indeed, over the past decade, the number of R&D works aimed at finding and studying catalysts for the conversion of kerosene [ 3 , 4 , 11 , 12 , 13 ], diesel [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ], renewable natural raw materials—biodiesel [ 18 , 19 ] and glycerin (a by-product of biomass processing) [ 20 ]—as well as fuel processor designing [ 5 , 6 , 13 ], has increased significantly [ 2 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 11 , 13 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ].…”

The paper considers the current state of research and development of composite structured catalysts for the oxidative conversion of liquid hydrocarbons into synthesis gas for fuel cell feeding and gives more detailed information about recent advances in the Boreskov Institute of Catalysis. The main factors affecting the progress of the target reaction and side reactions leading to catalyst deactivation are discussed. The properties of the Rh/Ce0.75Zr0.25O2/Al2O3/FeCrAl composite multifunctional catalyst for the conversion of diesel fuel into synthesis gas are described. The results of the catalyst testing and mathematical modeling of the process of diesel fuel steam–air conversion into synthesis gas are reported.

“…These include jet fuels, diesel fuels (fossil and synthetic) and different substitute materials that are similar to jet and diesel fuels but that avoid aromatic substances and sulfur [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. In addition, biogenic fuels for ATR have been attracting ever more attention in recent years [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. When running ATR with biogenic fuels, it was found that coke formation at the catalytically-active sites was a major concern.…”
