Aqueous phase reforming of pilot-scale Fischer-Tropsch water effluent for sustainable hydrogen production

Pilot scale study of Co-Fe-Ni nanocatalyst for CO hydrogenation in Fischer-Tropsch synthesis

In this work, a Co-Fe-Ni catalyst was prepared and the effect of a range of operational variables such as gas hourly space velocity (GHSV), calcination temperature, calcination time and agent on its catalytic performance for green-fuels production was investigated. By application of different characterization techniques such as XRD, BET, TGA/DSC, and SEM, it was found that these parameters have...

Production of hydrogen by aqueous-phase reforming of glycerol

Aqueous-phase Fischer-Tropsch synthesis with a ruthenium nanocluster catalyst.

Introduction Hydrogenation of carbon monoxide to produce hydrocarbons, normally called Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (F-T synthesis), is one of the most important hydrogenation reactions due to its potential for the intermediate production of hydrocarbon fuels in the “postpetroleum” era. The reaction is favored at low-temperature and therefore reducing the particle size of the catalyst to several n...

Sustainable Hydrogen Production by Catalytic Bio-Ethanol Steam Reforming

Optimised Hydrogen Production by Aqueous Phase Reforming of Glycerol on Pt/Al2O3

Aqueous phase reforming of glycerol was studied over a series of γ-Al2O3 supported metal nanoparticle catalysts for hydrogen production in a batch reactor. Of the metals studied, Pt/Al2O3 was found to be the most active catalyst under the conditions tested. A further systematic study on the impact of reaction parameters, including stirring speed, pressure, temperature, and substrate/metal molar...
