“…4 A two stage shift system was coupled to an external PROx reactor, using ATR of gasoline as the reformate generation, by Qi and colleagues. 5 CO abatement to levels under 1000 ppm was achieved. A gasoline-based system containing two shift reactors and two PROX reactors was developed by General Motors 6 and was capable of reducing CO levels to under 100 ppm for a system which had an electrical power output of 27 kW.…”

Current trends in the automotive industry include the use of hydrogen, GDI engines, and PEM fuel cell systems. low-current non-thermal plasma-assisted hydrocarbon reforming hydrogen-rich gas ways to produce it on board automobiles. In this study, we introduce the plasma fuel reformer (PFR), a non-thermal device that uses the partial oxidation process as its primary mechanism. Plasma is created by PFR using air at higher pressures than the atmosphere. Plasma is generated by an electrode gap discharge and continuous air and fuel infusions. Exothermicity from partial oxidation generates the most heat. The unique Plasma Fuel Reformer (PFR) has three sections in a stack: fuel injection, plasma production fuel reaction, and heat exchanger. The low-current non-thermal plasma is designed to convert gasoline into hydrogen-rich gas under non-thermal circumstances. The first section briefly describes hydrocarbon reforming chemistry. The second section is low-current non-thermal plasma fuel reformer (PFR) technology and design. This novel plasma reformer is still in its early stages of development, but there are a number of technical tweaks that might significantly enhance its chemical efficiency.

“…Numerous studies have been done to develop improved catalysts for ATR [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9], but most of them are focused on processes using relatively light hydrocarbons such as methane [2][3][4][5][6], methanol [7,8] and ethanol [9]. The ATR of gasoline is recently considered as an alternative [10,11] because it has the advantage of using the current infrastructure of gas stations.…”

Two types of CeO 2 -modified Ni/Al 2 O 3 catalysts were prepared by a consecutive impregnation method with different sequences in the impregnation of Ni and CeO 2 , and their performance in autothermal reforming (ATR) of isooctane was investigated. Catalysts prepared by adding CeO 2 prior to the addition of Ni, Ni/CeO 2 -Al 2 O 3 , produced larger amounts of hydrogen than those obtained using catalysts prepared by adding the two components in an opposite sequence, Ni-CeO 2 /Al 2 O 3 . The results of H 2 chemisorption and temperature-programmed reduction revealed that added CeO 2 increased the dispersion of the Ni species on Al 2 O 3 and suppressed the formation of NiAl 2 O 4 in the catalyst such that large amounts of Ni species were present as NiO, the active species for the ATR. The elemental and thermogravimetric analyses of deactivated catalysts indicated that Ni/CeO 2 -Al 2 O 3 , which showed a longer lifetime than Ni-CeO 2 / Al 2 O 3 , contained lesser amounts and different types of coke on the surface.
