ABSTRACTCatalytic monoliths loaded with ZnO-supported Co-Fe catalysts were prepared in one step by the in situ urea method and tested in the ethanol steam reforming reaction to produce hydrogen. The most active and selective formulation was attained with a Fe/Co molar ratio between 0.05 and 0.1, which showed negligible amounts of methane among the reaction products, thus offering an active and selective material for the low-temperature steam reforming of ethanol for small-scale energy applications.

Cobalt and nickel based catalysts for ethanol steam reforming have been prepared. Preparation of Na-Ni-Mo/C, Na-Co-Mo/C, K-Ni-Mo/C and K-Co-Mo/C have been carried out using sol-gel method by applying citric acid as complexion agent and source for support formation. Prepared catalyst via sol gel showed tailored morphological properties signed by tailored pore size distribution. The acidity of catalyst showed that all catalysts contain only Lewis acid site. The catalyst activity test was conducted by using semi flow method with molar ratio of ethanol : water = 0.33 at 400 oC   Keywords: sol-gel method, steam reforming, ethanol

Hydrogen production by ethanol steam reforming over Ni-Cu/ZnO catalyst in the temperatures range of 250-550°C was studied on a fixed bed reactor. The effects of reaction temperature and water/ethanol molar ratio on hydrogen production were investigated. The structure and surface characteristics of the catalyst were measured by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential thermal analyzer (TG-DSC). The results show that the Ni-Cu/ZnO catalyst has good catalytic performance with higher hydrogen yield of 4.87molH2/molEtOH reacted. A comparison of hydrogen production from ethanol steam reforming over Ni-Cu/ZnO catalyst with over a commercial catalyst was made in this paper.

In this work, the electronic properties of the metal sites in cubic and monoclinic ZrO2 supported Pd and PdCu catalysts have been investigated using CO as probe molecule in in-situ IR studies, and the surface composition of the outermost layers has been studied by APXPS (Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoemission Spectroscopy). The reaction products were followed by mass spectrometry, making it possible to relate the chemical properties of the catalysts under reaction conditions with their selectivity. Combining these techniques, it has been shown that the structure of the support (monoclinic or cubic ZrO2) affects the metal dispersion, mobility, and reorganization of metal sites under methanol steam reforming (MSR) conditions, influencing the oxidation state of surface metal species, with important consequences in the catalytic activity. Correlating the mass spectra of the reaction products with these spectroscopic studies, it was possible to conclude that electropositive metal species play an imperative role for high CO2 and H2 selectivity in the MSR reaction (less CO formation).
