Methanol steam reforming; Effects of various metal oxides on the properties of a Cu-based catalyst
Ternary Cu/ZnO/metal oxide catalysts are prepared through the co-precipitation method under strict control of parameters like pH, calcination conditions, and precipitation temperature in a systematic manner. The metal oxides applied in this study consist of Al2O3, ZrO2, La2O3 and Ce2O3. The distinction of this work in comparison with similar research is a comprehensive investigatation of the ca...
متن کاملA Comparative Discussion of the Catalytic Activity and CO2-Selectivity of Cu-Zr and Pd-Zr (Intermetallic) Compounds in Methanol Steam Reforming
The activation and catalytic performance of two representative Zr-containing intermetallic systems, namely Cu-Zr and Pd-Zr, have been comparatively studied operando using methanol steam reforming (MSR) as test reaction. Using an inverse surface science and bulk model catalyst approach, we monitored the transition of the initial metal/intermetallic compound structures into the eventual active an...
متن کاملMethanol Steam Reforming Catalyzing over Cu/Zn/Fe Mixed Oxide Catalysts
Methanol steam reforming plays a pivotal role to produce hydrogen for fuel cell systems in a low temperature range. To accomplish higher methanol conversion and lower CO production, the reaction was catalyzed by CuZnFe mixed oxides. Various ratios of Fe and Cu/Zn were coprecipitated in differential method to optimize the CuZnFe structure. The sample containing 45Cu50Zn5Fe (Wt. %) revealed its m...
متن کاملPd/Ga2O3 methanol steam reforming catalysts: Part II: Catalytic selectivity
Structure, morphology and composition of two Pd/Ga2O3 methanol steam reforming catalysts were correlated with the associated activity and selectivity changes in the methanol steam reforming reaction and linked to studies on pure Ga2O3 supports. For both systems, that are, a Pd/Ga2O3 thin film model catalyst and a powder-supported Pd catalyst, we identified a temperature range in which the reduc...
متن کاملMethanol Steam Reforming Promoted by Molten Salt-Modified Platinum on Alumina Catalysts
We herein describe a straight forward procedure to increase the performance of platinum-on-alumina catalysts in methanol steam reforming by applying an alkali hydroxide coating according to the "solid catalyst with ionic liquid layer" (SCILL) approach. We demonstrate by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) studies that ...
