The 0-3 at.% Cu doped Cu-Ni/CeO2 catalysts with 10 wt.% and 15 wt.% of total metal loading were prepared by an impregnation-coprecipitation method. The influence of Cu atomic content on the catalytic performance was investigated on the steam reforming of ethanol （SRE） for H2 production and the catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption, inductively coupled plasma （ICP）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, temperature-programmed rerduction （TPR） and H2-pulse chemisorption techniques. The activity and products distribution behaviors of the catalysts were significantly affected by the doped Cu molar content based on the promotion effect on the dispersion of NiO particles and the interactions between Cu-Ni metal and CeO2 support. Significant increase in the ethanol conversion and hydrogen selectivity were obtained when moderate Cu metal was doped into the Ni/CeO2 catalyst. Over both of the 10Ni98.5Cu1.5/CeO2 and 15Ni98.5Cu1.5/CeO2 catalysts, more than 80% of ethanol conversion and 60% of H2 selectivity were obtained in the ethanol steam-reforming when the reaction temperature was above 450 ℃.展开更多

ZnO and CaO were then highly dispersed onto the pore surface of entrapped A1203 by the incipient wetness impregnation method. Due to the unique combination of surface area, pore size/particle size, thermal conductivity, and void volume, the resulting microfibrous catalyst composites provided significant improvement of catalytic bed reactivity and utilization efficiency when used in methanol steam reforming. Roughly 260 mL/min of reformate, comprising 〉70% H2, 〈5% CO and trace CH4, with 〉97% methanol conversion, could be produced in a I cm3 bed volume of our novel microfihrous entrapped ZnO-CaO/Al2O3 catalyst composite at 470℃ with a high weight hourly space velocity （WHSV） of 15 h-1 using steam/methanol （1.3/1） mixture as feedstock. Compared to a packed bed of 100-200μm ZnO-CaO/Al2O3, our composite bed provided a doubling of the reactor throughput with a halving of catalyst usage.展开更多
