Catalyst deactivation and regeneration in low temperature ethanol steam reforming with Rh/CeO2–ZrO2 catalysts

Rh/CeO₂–ZrO₂ catalysts with various CeO₂/ZrO₂ ratios have been applied to H₂ production from ethanol steam reforming at low temperatures. The catalysts all deactivated with time on stream (TOS) at 350 °C. The addition of 0.5% K has a beneficial effect on catalyst stability, while 5% K has a negative effect on catalytic activity. The catalyst could be regenerated considerably even at ambient temperature and could recover its initial activity after regeneration above 200 °C with 1% O₂. The results are most consistent with catalyst deactivation due to carbonaceous deposition on the catalyst.     

Autothermal reforming of ethanol for hydrogen production over an Rh/CeO2 catalyst

Hydrogen production from ethanol by autothermal reforming over an Rh/CeO₂ catalyst was investigated with a stoichiometric feed composition. Ethanol as well as the reaction intermediates like acetaldehyde and acetone was entirely converted to hydrogen and C1 products at 673 K, and methane steam reforming and reverse water gas shift were the major reactions above 823 K. The Rh/CeO₂ catalyst exhibited stable activity and selectivity during 70 h on-stream operation at 823–923 K without obvious deactivation evidenced by the constant effluent gas composition. Structural analysis of the used catalyst revealed that CeO₂ prevented effectively the highly dispersed Rh particles with sizes of 1–3 nm from sintering and thus maintained sufficient Rh–CeO₂ interfacial areas, which facilitated coke gasification through the high oxygen storage-release capacity.     

Steam reforming of ethanol over skeletal Ni‐based catalysts: A temperature programmed desorption and kinetic study

An investigation on reaction scheme and kinetics for ethanol steam reforming on skeletal nickel catalysts is described. Catalytic activity of skeletal nickel catalyst for low‐temperature steam reforming has been studied in detail, and the reasons for its high reactivity for H₂ production are attained by probe reactions. Higher activity of water gas shift reaction and methanation contributes to the low CO selectivity. Cu and Pt addition can promote WGSR and suppress methanation, and, thus, improve H₂ production. A reaction scheme on skeletal nickel catalyst has been proposed through temperature programmed reaction spectroscopy experiments. An Eley‐Rideal model is put forward for kinetic studies, which contains three surface reactions: ethanol decomposition, water gas shift reaction, and methane steam reforming reaction. The kinetics was studied at 300–400°C using a randomized algorithms method and a least‐squares method to solve the differential equations and fit the experimental data; the goodness of fit obtained with this model is above 0.95. The activation energies for the ethanol decomposition, methane steam reforming, and water gas shift reaction are 187.7 kJ/mol, 138.5 kJ/mol and 52.8 kJ/mol, respectively. Thus, ethanol decomposition was determined to be the rate determining reaction of ethanol steam reforming on skeletal nickel catalysts. © 2013 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J 60: 635–644, 2014

CO2 reforming of methane over vanadia-promoted Rh/SiO2 catalysts

The reforming of methane with carbon dioxide over rhodium dispersed on silica, Rh/SiO₂, and vanadia-promoted silica, Rh/VO_x/SiO₂, was studied by kinetic test reactions under differential conditions in a temperature range from 723 to 773 K. Transmission infrared spectroscopy was applied to observe the interaction of CO₂ with the catalysts and the formation of surface intermediates during the CO₂–CH₄ reforming reaction. To analyze carbon deposition XP spectroscopy and TPO was carried out. It has been shown that the promotion of Rh/SiO₂ catalysts with vanadium oxide enhances the catalytic activity for CO₂ reforming of methane and decreases the deactivation by carbon deposition. This is attributed to the formation of a partial VO_x overlayer on the Rh surface, which reduces the size of accessible ensembles of Rh atoms required for coke formation and creates new sites at the Rh–VO_x interfacial region that are considered to be active sites for the activation/dissociation of carbon dioxide.

Oxidative steam reforming of ethanol over PtRu/ZrO2 catalysts modified with sodium and magnesium

This paper reports the catalytic performance of a PtRu/ZrO₂ catalyst modified with Na and Mg in an oxidative steam reforming of ethanol (OSRE) reaction tested in the temperature range of 300–400 °C. The results show that the PtRuMg₁/ZrO₂ catalyst requires higher temperatures (T_R ~ 400 °C) to achieve complete conversion than either the PtRuNa₁/ZrO₂ or PtRu/ZrO₂ catalysts (T_R ~ 300 °C). Also, an apparent coke deposit is found on the PtRuMg₁/ZrO₂ catalyst. The preferential PtRuNa₁/ZrO₂ catalyst shows active at temperatures as low as 300 °C and produces less CO (< 0.2%) at temperatures lower than 340 °C.     

Sustainable H2 production from ethanol steam reforming over a macro-mesoporous Ni/Mg-Al-O catalytic monolith

A macro-meso-porous monolithic Ni-based catalyst was prepared via an impregnation route using polystyrene foam as the template and then used in the steam reforming of ethanol to produce a H₂-rich gas. The Ni/Mg-Al catalyst has a hierarchically macro-meso-porous structure as indicated by photographs and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The surface area of the catalyst was 230 m²?g^-1 and the Ni dispersion was 5.62%. Compared to the pelletized sample that was prepared without a template, the macro-meso-porous Ni/Mg-Al monolith exhibited superior reactivity in terms of H₂ production and also had lower CH₄ yields at 700oC and 800oC. Furthermore, the monolithic catalyst maintained excellent activity and H₂ selectivity after 100-h on-stream at 700^oC, as well as good resistance to coking and metal sintering.

Carbon formation and its influence on ethanol steam reforming over Ni/Al2O3 catalysts

Ethanol steam reforming was studied over Ni/Al₂O₃ catalysts. The effect of support (- and γ-Al₂O₃), metal loading and a comparison between conventional H₂ reduction with an activation method employing a CH₄/O₂ mixture was investigated. The properties of catalysts were studied by N₂ physisorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and temperature programmed reduction (TPR). After activity tests, the catalysts were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TG/DTA). Ni supported on γ-Al₂O₃ was more active for H₂ production than the catalyst supported on -Al₂O₃. Metal loading did not affect the catalytic performance. The alternative activation method with CH₄/O₂ mixture affected differently the activity and stability of the Ni/γ-Al₂O₃ and the Ni/-Al₂O₃ catalyst. This activation method increased significantly the stability of Ni/-Al₂O₃ compared to H₂ reduction. SEM and TG/DTA analysis indicate the formation of filamentous carbon during the CH₄/O₂ activation step, which is associated with the increasing catalyst activity and stability. The effect of temperature on the type of carbon formed was investigated; indicating that filamentous coke increased activity while encapsulating coke promoted deactivation. A discussion about carbon formation and the influence on the activity is presented.

Catalytic decomposition of N2O over supported Rh catalysts: effects of supports and Rh dispersion

The study of catalytic decomposition of nitrous oxide to nitrogen and oxygen over Rh catalysts supported on various supports (USY, NaY, Al₂O₃, ZrO₂, FSM-16, CeO₂, La₂O₃) showed that the activities of Rh/Al₂O₃ and Rh/USY (ultrastable Y zeolite) catalysts were comparable to or higher than the other catalysts reported in the literatures. The catalytic activity of N₂O decomposition was sensitive not only to the Rh dispersion but also to the preparation variables such as the Rh precursors and the supports used. A pulsed N₂O experiment over a Rh/USY catalyst suggested that the catalytic N₂O decomposition occurs on oxygen-covered surface and that O₂ may be freed on collision of N₂O molecules with the adsorbed oxygen atoms.     

Highly active and stable Rh/MgOAl2O3 catalysts for methane steam reforming

Highly active and coke-resistant Rh catalysts were developed for methane steam reforming in microchannel chemical reactors. Rh loading was optimized on a stable MgOAl₂O₃ support to improve the volumetric productivity for methane conversion. Catalyst activities were stable over a wide range of steam/carbon ratios. In particular, experimental results demonstrated that Rh/MgOAl₂O₃ catalysts are extremely active for methane steam reforming and are resistant to coke formation at stoichiometric steam/carbon ratio of 1 for over 14 h time-on-stream with no sign of deactivation. Methane steam reforming activities on this catalyst is compared in both a microchannel reactor and a conventional micro-tubular reactor. Significant performance enhancement was observed in microchannel reactors owing to improved heat and mass transfer.

Steam reforming of tar from a biomass gasification process over Ni/olivine catalyst using toluene as a model compound

A Ni/olivine catalyst, previously developed for biomass gasification and tar removal during fluidized bed steam gasification of biomass, was tested in a fixed bed reactor in toluene steam reforming as a tar destruction model reaction. The influence of the catalyst preparation parameters (nickel precursor, calcination temperature and nickel content) and operating parameters (reaction temperature, steam to carbon S/C ratio and space-time) on activity and selectivity was examined showing a high toluene conversion and a low carbon formation compared to olivine alone. The steam reforming of toluene was found to be of zero order for water and first order for toluene. Activation energy required for Ni/olivine was determined to be about 196 kJ mol⁻¹ in accordance with literature. Catalyst activity and stability and its resistance against carbon formation were discussed on the basis of X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and temperature programmed oxidation (TPO) results. Characterization before test (XRD, temperature programmed reduction (TPR), Mössbauer spectroscopy) have shown the presence of NiO–MgO solid solution, formed on the surface of olivine support, which explains the efficiency of the catalyst calcined at 1100 °C. After test, Ni–Fe alloys were observed (TEM, Mössbauer spectroscopy). It was suggested that magnesium oxide enhanced steam adsorption, facilitating the gasification of surface carbon and that Ni–Fe alloys prevented carbon deposition by dilution effect.     

Steam reforming of kerosene over a metal-monolithic alumina-supported Ru catalyst: Effect of preparation conditions and electrical-heating test

A plate-type anodic alumina support (γ-Al₂O₃/Fe–Cr–Ni alloy/γ-Al₂O₃) was used to prepare a series of Ru catalysts. The performance of these catalysts was investigated in the steam reforming of kerosene (SRK). Ethanol solution impregnation was used to enhance metal dispersion on the catalyst surface. The catalyst prepared by ethanol solution impregnation and dried at 120 °C (Ru/Al₂O₃-ED) gave a higher metal dispersion and more favorable activity and durability than that prepared in aqueous solution. However, owing to shrinking caused by the oxidation of ruthenium species, high temperature calcination in air after impregnation greatly decreased the metal dispersion on the catalyst surface, regardless of the impregnation solution type. In contrast to calcination in air, high temperature N₂ treatment could decompose the reducible ruthenium species on the Ru/Al₂O₃-ED completely. This indicates that H₂ pre-reduction is not an essential procedure for the SRK reactions over this catalyst. The experimental results also confirm this hypothesis. The effect of Ce addition was also investigated and was found to enhance significantly the catalyst tolerance to carbon deposition thereby improving the SRK durability of Ru/Al₂O₃-ED under a high space velocity. In addition, owing to the high electrical resistance of the Fe–Cr–Ni alloy, the anodic alumina catalyst itself can be used as a heater, when an electrical current is applied along the alloy layer. Under an electrical-heating pattern, the SRK reaction system reached stability within 15 min, offering a strong possibility for shortening the start-up time of conventional reformers from 1 to 2 h to a few minutes.
