Hydrogen Production from Ethanol Steam Reforming over SnO2-K2O/Zeolite Y Catalyst

Stable Hydrogen Production from Ethanol through Steam Reforming Reaction over Nickel-Containing Smectite-Derived Catalyst

Hydrogen production through steam reforming of ethanol was investigated with conventional supported nickel catalysts and a Ni-containing smectite-derived catalyst. The former is initially active, but significant catalyst deactivation occurs during the reaction due to carbon deposition. Side reactions of the decomposition of CO and CH4 are the main reason for the catalyst deactivation, and these...

Sustainable Hydrogen Production by Catalytic Bio-Ethanol Steam Reforming

Steam Reforming of Ethanol: Production of Renewable Hydrogen

Abnormal growth of population and development enormously increases energy demand. In present scenario utilization of fossils fuels to meet this demand is not enough and also leads to pollution, global warming, climate change as well as natural disaster. Therefore, hydrogen as energy carrier is a major option on these prospects as it is non-polluting and renewable. The renewable hydrogen energy ...

Steam Reforming of Bio-Ethanol to Produce Hydrogen over Co/CeO2 Catalysts Derived from Ce1-xCoxO2-y Precursors

A series of Ce1 ́xCoxO2 ́y precursors were prepared by homogeneous precipitation using urea as a precipitant. The Co/CeO2 catalysts obtained from the Ce1 ́xCoxO2 ́y precursors were used for the steam reforming of ethanol to produce hydrogen. Co ions could enter the CeO2 lattices to form Ce1 ́xCoxO2 ́y mixed oxides at x ď 0.2 using the homogeneous precipitation (hp) method. CeO2 was an excellent suppo...

Parametric Study of Hydrogen Production from Ethanol Steam Reforming in a Membrane Microreactor

Microreactors are miniaturized chemical reaction systems, which contain reaction channels with characteristic dimensions in the range of 10-500 μm. One possible application for microreactors is the conversion of ethanol to hydrogen used in fuel cells to generate electricity. In this paper a rigorous isothermal, steady-state two-dimensional model was developed to simulate the behavior of a membr...
