Ethanol Steam Reforming to Produce Hydrogen Over Co/ZnO and PtCo/ZnO Catalysts

Steam reforming of isobutanol for the production of synthesis gas over Ni/γ-Al2O3 catalysts

“…7 The synthesis gas manufactured by SR is generally subjected to water gas shi reactions (WGSRs) to produce high purity hydrogen for the application in fuel cells to generate electricity, as transportation fuel, and as raw material in the chemical industry. 8 Considering the importance of synthesis gas, the SR of various oxygenated hydrocarbons derived from biomass such as ethanol, [9][10][11][12][13] methanol, [14][15][16] acetic acid, [17][18][19] ethylene glycol, 20 dimethyl ether, 21 acetol, 22 m-cresol, 23 acetone, ethyl acetate, m-xylene, glucose, 24 glycerol, 25,26 fatty acids, 27 and vegetable oils 28,29 has been investigated extensively in the past using…”

Catalytic activities of K-modified zeolite ZSM-5 supported rhodium catalysts in low-temperature steam reforming of bioethanol

“…As shown in Fig. 11, the Raman spectra of carbon materials showed two main bands, i.e., the D (approximately 1360 cm À1 ) and the G (approximately 1585 cm À1 ) bands, which are assigned to the amorphous and the graphite structures, respectively [30]. Moreover, the degree of structural order can be estimated by the peak intensity ratio of I G /I D .…”

Introduction to hydrogen production

“…Cobalt-based catalysts also exhibited good performance in the ethanol SR reaction. This behaviour may be related to the presence of both acid and basic sites on the ZnO surface and also to the relatively high activity of cobalt for cracking of CeC bonds and WGS reactions (Chiou et al, 2013). The Co/ZnO catalysts exhibited very high catalytic performance within the temperature range 573e773 K (Mattos, Jacobs, Davis, & Noronha, 2012).…”
