Autothermal reforming of n-dodecane, toluene, and their mixture on mono- and bimetallic noble metal zirconia catalysts

Autothermal reforming (ATR) of higher hydrocarbons and their mixture was studied on zirconia-supported mono- (Rh, Pd, or Pt) and bimetallic (RhPt) catalysts. ATR reactions predominated on Rh-containing catalysts at 700–900 °C, whereas thermal cracking predominated on Pt and the support. The thermal stability of Rh was improved when Rh was combined with Pt in the bimetallic catalyst.
