Hydrogen production by glycerol steam-reforming over nickel and nickel-cobalt impregnated on alumina

Optimised hydrogen production by aqueous phase reforming of glycerol on Pt/Al2O3

“…Davda et al found the reaction rates decreased in the order of Pt~Ni > Ru > Rh~Pd > Ir at temperatures from 210 to 225 °C [27]. Several supports have also been reported to influence the activity and selectivity of monometallic catalysts [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] and among the different supports investigated, Pt supported on γ-Al2O3 showed the highest hydrogen selectivity (>90%) [37].…”

Development of nickel based catalysts for the transformation of natural triglycerides and related compounds into green diesel: a critical review

“…The research focuses to the development of novel applications based on glycerol. An interesting prospect is the production of hydrogen by steam reforming of glycerol catalyzed by transition metal nanoparticles supported on γ-alumina [5,[65][66][67][68]. Another interesting prospect would be the transformation of the syngas produced into methanol that could be used in transesterification making it greener.…”

Techno-economic assessment of hydrogen and power production from supercritical water reforming of glycerol

“…Many alternatives have been studied, such as steam reforming [4], autothermal reforming [5] and aqueous-phase reforming [6]. However, supercritical water reforming (SCWR), and its autothermal version (ASCWR), are emerging technologies with some advantages over the other technologies: a catalyst is not needed, the heat required when reforming at supercritical conditions is lower in than others, such as steam reforming [7,8], and the huge pressure energy of the products can be converted into electrical energy by an expander.…”
