Steam reforming of ethanol for hydrogen production by low-temperature steam reforming using modified Ni-Sn/CeO2 catalyst

CeO2-supported Ni and Co catalysts prepared by a solution combustion method for H2production from glycerol: the effect of fuel/oxidizer ratio and oxygen excess

“…60 Some studies show that catalysts prepared using this method are comparable with catalysts obtained by classical methods, for example Ni-based supported catalysts for ethanol decomposition and reforming. 26,27,31,61–63 In addition, a high conversion of glycerol (30%) was obtained for the 20 wt% Ni-based catalyst on CeO 2 synthesized by the self-propagation combustion method compared to those by co-precipitation or wet impregnation due to the formation of smaller nickel crystallites. 29…”

“…Ni-containing catalysts are known to have a high capability for C–C, C–H and O–H bond cleavage 10 and can be easily dispersed on a range of supports. A number of nickel catalysts supported on Al 2 O 3 , 11–20 CeO 2 , 17,20–37 MgO, 21,22,30 TiO 2 , 21,22,38 SiO 2 , 13,38–40 and ZrO 2 (ref. 13, 38, and 41–44) have been studied in reforming processes of several renewable feeds, including methanol, 9 ethanol, 14–17,24,26,27,32–34,37,39,41 and glycerol.…”

“…The excellent stability of Ni/CeO 2 has been related to accelerated carbon removal from the metal surface due to the mobility of oxygen ions and formation of oxygen vacancies in the support. 46 Recent studies of Ni/CeO 2 systems in reforming processes are related to controlling the functional properties of catalysts through changing the morphology, 32,33,36 preparation methods, 24,28,34,35 active component content, 24 promoters, 26,47 and additives. 27,48,49…”

“…There are several studies on Ni–Ce and Co–Ce oxide systems prepared by the SCS method, focused on the effect of Sn and Zr, 26 NaCl, 67 and colloidal SiO 2 (ref. 68 and 69) (using glycine fuel), Ni loading (0–8.5 wt%, urea; 31 3–68 wt%, hydrous hydrazine; 70 3.1–15.6 wt%, urea 71 ), Co loading (1–10 wt%, glycine 69 ), the fuel-to-oxidizer ratio ( φ = 0.5–3, hydrous hydrazine 70 ), and the fuel type (glycine and hydrous hydrazine at φ = 2; 70 oxalyldihydrazide, glycerol, carbohydrazide, urea at φ = 1 (ref.…”
