Hydrogen Production by Steam Reforming of Bioethanol over Pt Based Catalysts
Abstract:
Hydrogen production from renewable raw material as bioethanol by steam reforming has been studied over several Pt based catalysts with different characteristics with respect to the nature of the support and the reaction pathways. Our research revealed that Pt/CeO2 catalyst is significantly more active and selective for hydrogen production, and his catalytic performance was interpreted by means of intervention of CeO2 support in the reforming reaction mechanism and its high activity to direct dehydrogenation of ethanol to acetaldehyde.
