“…Oxygen reforming emits heat to provide the heat required for water reforming and the subsequent autothermal reaction. In addition, increasing the ratio of oxygen/carbon can release a large amount of heat during combustion and, thus, improve both the temperature of the reaction system and hydrogen yield; however, if too much oxygen is used, it will react with hydrogen and result in a decreased hydrogen yield. − …”

Non-precious metal catalysts were prepared using the equal volume fractional impregnation method. The effect of the catalyst bed inlet temperature and diesel liquid airspeed on the self-thermal reforming of diesel was investigated with respect to the LaCeCoCrFeNi/Al2O3 catalyst. Optimum operating conditions were determined with a catalyst bed inlet temperature of 700 °C, diesel liquid airspeed of 0.24 h–1, water and carbon ratio of 15, and oxygen/carbon ratio of 0.4.

“…51 According to their study, the autothermal steam reforming process produced a greater amount of hydrogen than was produced by the conventional steam reforming process. Silva et al 83 has simulated and optimised hydrogen production by the autothermal reforming of glycerol using HYSIS 3.1 software. An air-to-fuel (A/F) ratio of 5.5 and a steam-to-fuel (S/F) ratio of 3.5 were the best conditions for hydrogen production.…”

Owing to the high energy content of hydrogen and the possibility of converting this energy in fuel cell devices into electric power without any pollutant emissions, hydrogen has grown to be one of the most useful sources of energy, especially if it is produced from renewable sources. In recent years, the development of an efficient process for hydrogen production has become an important goal for energy researchers. Numerous studies have evaluated the catalytic reforming of glycerol for hydrogen production both experimentally and thermodynamically. To enhance hydrogen production and make the production process efficient, researchers have investigated different reforming processes under a wide range of operating conditions. Moreover, the main focus of these studies was the development of a high-performance reforming catalyst that can increase the hydrogen yield and decrease carbon formation and processing costs. Several reforming processes can be used to produce hydrogen from glycerol. This article reviews these reforming processes with emphasis on the common catalysts and the operating conditions used in thermodynamic analyses and experimental work. Although most of these studies have been conducted on steam and aqueous-phase reforming processes, more work on other reforming processes, such as autothermal reforming, partial oxidation, supercritical water, and photo-catalytic reforming, has yet to be completed.

“…For these reasons, developing technology for obtain hydrogen from renewable resources is a promising research topic, both from an economic and environmental perspective [21e23]. Due to a great interest in the production of hydrogen from glycerin, different processes have been developed over the years, mainly steam reforming [24,25], partial oxidation [26,27] and autothermal reforming processes [28,29] are the most used. The present study lays its emphasis on the steam reforming process.…”
