| Abstract | Introduction The production of hydrogen or syngas from renewable, biologically derived feedstocks, such as ethanol, can lessen the demand for, and reliance upon non-renewable fuels. Biologically derived ethanol is a prime candidate since it is produced by the fermentation of a wide variety of carbohydrate sources, which can be obtained from dedicated agricultural products or agricultural and forestry byproducts. Steam reforming of ethanol has been investigated over a wide variety of supported metal catalysts. Supported nickel catalysts have shown good activity, H2 and CO2 selectivities however exhibit deactivation typically through coking mechanisms. Our group has found that Mg-Al mixed oxide supported nickel catalysts give improved steam reforming product selectivity and catalyst stability (reduced deactivation) compared to the pure oxide supported catalysts. |
