Catalysts design for reforming of oxygenates
No full textThis first book to focus on the topic serves as a basis for defining a roadmap for the role of catalysis in energy production. As such, this ready reference for researchers and engineers covers all the hot topics from a broad perspective -- fuel cells, hydrogen production and storage, methane storage and industrial catalysis.
With its analysis of new directions and opportunities in the area and its integration of industrial, governmental and academic points of view, this is a real must-have for everyone interested in "greener" energy production
NixCuy/Al2O3 based catalysts for hydrogen production
No full textNi(x wt.%) Cu(y wt.%)/Al2O3 samples were investigated as active and thermally stable catalysts for methanol and ethanol steam reforming. XRD data clearly evidenced the formation of a NiCu alloy under the adopted preparation procedure. The bimetallic systems exhibited improved activity in the methanol steam reforming with respect to the monometallic ones. The introduction of copper in the catalyst formulation showed a positive effect inhibiting the formation of methane, an undesirable by-product. On the other hand, in the ethanol steam reforming, the catalytic performance was less promising. Furthermore, the Ni : Cu ratio did not seem to affect the product distribution. However, enhanced stability was observed in the two subsequent run-up experiments, indicating the positive role played by the bimetallic systems
