Steam reforming of ethanol over Ni/support catalysts for generation of hydrog…

Abstract. The paper reports experimental results concerning the influence of the support nature (TiO2, ZnO, Al2O3 and Al2O3–Fe2O3) of nickel catalysts on their activity, selectivity and coking phenomenon in the steam reforming of ethanol in the range of 570–870 K. The chemical transformations of ethanol occurring on the catalyst supportmake its chemical nature an important factor affect…
