The application of copper-based catalysts in the production of pure hydrogen in the steam reforming of ethanol was performed. The tricomponent Cu/Zr catalysts with about 4 mass% addition of nickel, cobalt, or cerium have been prepared in our laboratory. The properties of obtained catalysts were compared with bimetallic Cu/Zr catalyst prepared and tested according to the same procedure. Catalytic tests were carried out in the continuous flow fixed–bed reactor in the wide temperature range of 433–593 K for initial molar ratio of ethanol to water equal to 1:3. Catalysts were characterized by XRD, TPR, CO2–TPD, and TPO methods. Cu/Zr/Ce catalyst proved to be the best; hydrogen yield reached the value of 400 L/(kgcat.∙h), selectivity towards carbon monoxide was below 0.5% and the one towards methane wasnot detected. Additions of Ni or Co did not bring significant improvement in activity.

An experimental study was carried out aimed at establishing a data base for an optimum design of a continuous flow fixed-bed reactor for biotransformation of ammonium fumarate to L-aspartic acid catalyzed by immobilized cells of the strain Escherichia alcalescens dispar group. The experimental program included studies of the effect of reactor geometry, catalytic particle size, and packed bed arrangement on reactor hydrodynamics and on the rate of substrate conversion. An expression for the effective reaction rate was derived including the effect of mass transfer and conditions of the safe conversion-data scale-up were defined. Suggestions for the design of a pilot plant reactor (100 t/year) were formulated and decisive design parameters of such reactor were estimated for several variants of problem formulation.

We have synthesized mesoporous SiO2(MCM-41) and TiO2encapsulated bimetallic Cu-Ni nanocatalysts using an optimized one-pot hydrothermal procedure. The catalysts were characterized using BET, XRD, TGA-DSC and HRTEM techniques. While bimetallic Cu-Ni/MCM-41catalysts have high surface area- 634-1000 m2/g, Cu-Ni/TiO2yields surface area of 250-350 m2/g depending on the metal loading (5-10 wt%). The XRD studies confirmed a long range ordered structure in Cu-Ni/MCM-41 and the presence of the catalytically active anatase phase in the crystalline Cu-Ni/TiO2. The results from HRTEM studies were consistent with the mesoporosity of both supports. These catalysts were tested for methanol conversion and H2/CO selectivity via steam reforming of methanol (SRM) reactions in a fixed bed reactor. There is a distinct difference in the performance of these two supports. Bimetallic 3.33%Cu6.67%Ni/TiO2catalyst showed an impressive 99% H2selectivity at as low as 150°C and a maximum conversion of 92% at 250 °C but 3.33%Cu6.67%Ni/MCM-41 catalyst did not show any H2selectivity at 150°C and only ~12% conversion at 250°C. The effect of each support and relative metal loadings on the activity and selectivity of the SRM reaction products at different temperatures is discussed.

Coke on Zn/Hβ catalyst in ethanol to propylene was studied in continuous-flow fixed-bed reactor. The physicochemical properties of these fresh and used catalysts were characterized by NH3-TPD, N2 isothermal adsorption-desorption and TPO. These results showed that the medium and strong acid sites might be responsible for the production of coke and coke mainly deposited on external surface and microporous mouth. In addition, the coke might be consisted of soft coke and hard coke.
