| Abstract: | The production of hydrogen via steam reforming (SR) of simulated bio-oil (glycerol, syringol, n-butanol, m-xylene, m-cresol, and furfural) was investigated over Ni/CeO2-Al2O3 and Me-Ni/CeO2-Al2O3 (Me = Rh, Ru) catalysts. Monometallic (Ni) and bimetallic (Rh-Ni and Ru-Ni) catalysts were prepared by the wetness impregnation technique of the CeO2-Al2O3 support previously synthesized by the surfactant-assisted co-precipitation method. The as-prepared powders were systematically characterized by N2-physisorption, XRD, H2-TPR, and TEM measurements to analyze their structure, morphology, and reducibility properties. Experiments were performed in a continuous fixed-bed reactor at atmospheric pressure, temperature of 800 °C, steam to carbon (S/C) ratio of 5, and WHSV of 21.15 h−1. Then, the temperature was decreased to 700 °C and increased afterwards to 800 °C. After the experiments TPO and TEM analysis were performed on the spent catalysts to check any evidence of catalyst deactivation. The results showed that the incorporation of noble metal (Ru or Rh) promoter positively affected the activity of the Ni/CeO2-Al2O3 catalysts by enhancing the reducibility of Ni2+ species. Ni-based catalyst deactivated under the studied conditions, whereas Ru- and mainly Rh-promoted systems showed increased resistance to carbon deposition by favouring the gasification of adsorbed carbon species. Between all tested catalysts, the Rh-Ni/CeO2-Al2O3 provided the highest H2 yield and coking-resistance in SR of simulated bio-oil. |
