“…Czernik et al obtained hydrogen in a fluidized bed reactor from the carbohydrate derived fraction of wood bio-oil with a yield of about 80% of theoretical maximum (Czernik et al, 2002). The catalytic steam reforming of the bio-oil or the model oxygenates (e.g., ethanol, acetic acid) has been widely explored via various catalysts, e.g., Ni-based catalysts (Sakaguchi et al, 2010), Mg-doped catalysts (Garcia et al, 2000) and noble metal-loaded catalysts (Goula et al, 2004;Rioche et al, 2005;Trimm et al, 1997). Noble metals (Pt, Ru, Rh) are more effective than the Ni-based catalysts and less carbon depositing.…”
