Catalytic Activity of Ceo2 Supported Pt-ni and Pt-co Catalysts in the Low Temperature Bio-ethanol Steam Reforming

Low temperature bio-ethanol steam reforming (ESR) can be considered a promising method to produce H2, owing the increase of thermal efficiency and reduction of capital costs. However, some detrimental effects such as lower H2 selectivity and catalyst deactivation can occur, making crucial the catalysts selection. The aim of this work is to study bimetallic Pt based catalysts for the low temperature ESR reaction in concentrated reaction mixture. Preliminary results concerning economic aspects are also reported.
