Reactivity of Pt/Ni supported on CeO2-nanorods on methanol steam reforming for H2 production: Steady state and DRIFTS studies

Steam reforming of methanol over Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst was theoretically studied under created unsteady state. A mathematical approach was proposed to evaluate the effect of periodic inputs on reactor performance. The efficacy of the periodic separating reactor in term of pure hydrogen and of methanol conversion was measured during the reaction of methanol steam reforming. The obtained results showed that under certain operating conditions the periodic operation can be used advantageously to increase the reactor ability up to a level higher than the maximal steady-state. Moreover, our findings showed that the pumping of hydrogen through the membrane was stimulated by the effect of periodic operations. The predicted results suggested that the created unsteady state mode by using a square wave function could give the better performances compared to the sinusoidal mode. Copyright © 2018 BCREC Group.

Magnetic inducement was applied during metal loading to enhance Cu-Zn catalysts for methanol steam reforming in the temperature range of 200–300 °C. The supports used in this study were the γ-Al2O3 support and CeO2-Al2O3 supports prepared under different magnetic environments. Cu-Zn loading between the north and south poles (N-S) on the CeO2-Al2O3 support, prepared between two north poles (N-N), led to the highest H2 production at 300 °C (2796 ± 76 µmol/min), which is triple that of Cu-Zn/CeO2-Al2O3 prepared without magnetic inducement and ~11-fold the activity of the Cu-Zn/Al2O3 reference catalyst. The N-S magnetic environment during metal loading leads to lower reduction temperatures and larger Cu(1+):Cu(2+) ratio. These results showed that the pole arrangement of magnets during metal loading could affect the catalytic activity of the Cu-Zn catalyst owing to its influence on the reducibility and the oxidation state of Cu active metal.
