Effect of Operating Conditions on the Performance of Rh/TiO2 Catalyst for the Reaction of LPG Steam Reforming

The catalytic performance of Rh/TiO2 catalyst was investigated for the reaction Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) steam reforming with respect to operating conditions employed. impacts temperature, steam/C ratio, Hourly Space Velocity (GHSV), and time were examined discussed both in absence presence butane feed. It found that is improved by increasing content feed, and/or decreasing GHSV. In effect H2O/C ratio on prominent, whereas opposite observed propane conversion curve decreases adding indicating retards reforming. investigation dynamic response variations showed neither activity nor product selectivity varied following abrupt changes between 2 7. exhibited excellent stability time-on-stream at 500 650 °C. However, a reversible deactivation seems be operable when occurs 600 °C, resulting progressive decrease conversion, which, however, can completely restored temperature °C He flow, respectively. long-term form pellets this not only active selective but also stable, therefore, it promising LPG
