Summary: The study investigated the kinetics of glycerol steam reforming reaction catalyzed by a nickel-promoted metallurgical residue in a fixed-bed reactor at atmospheric pressure. The most accurate and thermodynamically consistent mechanism involved the dissociative adsorption of glycerol, which led to the breaking of C-C bonds and dehydrogenation of glycerol as the rate-determining step. The activation energy was found to be 66.1 kJ.mol-1 with a partial order with respect to glycerol of 0.63, as validated by a macroscopic analysis of glycerol to gas consumption rates.

Summary: Ethanol steam reforming (ESR) is a promising technology for hydrogen production, and the study focuses on the influence of cobalt loading and ESR conditions on H2 selectivity and catalytic stability. Ni-Co/Al2O3 (5 wt% Co) catalyst exhibited the best performance with small metal crystallite size, high surface area, and high catalytic activity. Optimal conditions for 100% ethanol conversion and maximum H2 selectivity were found to be 600°C, 0.05 L/gcat.h, and S:C molar ratio of 12:1. The Ni-Co interaction was found to affect the catalytic activity, and the stability test showed minimal coke deposition.

Summary: Catalytic steam reforming of bio-ethanol using Ni catalysts supported on biochar shows promising activity, with the structure and functional groups of biochar influencing the catalytic performance. The interaction between Ni and biochar active sites plays a crucial role in the reaction mechanism, with dehydrogenation being identified as a rate-limiting step on the biochar surface. The decrease in O-containing functional groups in biochar over time suggests changes in its catalytic activity during reforming and decomposition processes.

Summary: In this study, olivine was used as a support for nickel catalyst in the steam reforming of ethanol. Among different catalysts, the 5% Ni on olivine catalyst showed the highest hydrogen yield and ethanol conversion. The catalyst activity was analyzed by varying temperature, ethanol to water molar ratio, and space-time. The optimal conditions for the ethanol steam reforming reaction were found to be 550 degrees C, an ethanol to steam molar ratio of 1:10, and a space-time of 7.94 kg cat h/kmol ethanol.

Summary: Ni and Co catalysts supported on ITQ-6 zeolite were synthesized and evaluated for ethanol steam reforming. Co/ITQ-6 showed higher conversion and hydrogen production than Ni/ITQ-6, attributed to smaller cobalt particle size. Co/ITQ-6 also exhibited lower selectivity for by-products and higher stability. Rating: 8/10.

Summary: In this study, attapulgite-based MCM-41 (AM) was synthesized using attapulgite as a silicon source, and AM-supported Ni/Ce/Zr catalysts were manufactured by sol-gel assisted impregnation method. It was found that the optimal Ce-Zr additives and calcination temperature could enhance the electronic interaction among Ni/Ce/Zr components, resulting in the highest ethanol conversion rate and stability of the catalyst. This study provides a new opportunity for the preparation of efficient and low-cost AM-supported Ni/Ce/Zr catalysts for ethanol steam reforming.

Summary: Solvothermal synthesis of mesoporous materials based on amphiphilic molecules as structure-directing agents can be enhanced using non-conventional technologies for stirring and thermal activation. Here, we disclose a green synthesis approach for the preparation of cerium-modified hexagonally ordered silica sieves. Ultrasound micromixing enabled us to obtain well-dispersed Ce in the self-assembled silica network and yielded ordered materials with high cerium content (Ce/Si molar ratio = 0.08). Microwave dielectric heating, applied by an innovative open-end coaxial antenna, was used to reduce the overall hydrothermal synthesis time and to improve the surface area and textural properties. These mesoporous materials were used as a Ni catalyst support (10 wt.% metal loading) for the ethanol steam reforming reaction. The new catalysts featured complete ethanol conversion, high H-2 selectivity (65%) and better stability, compared to the same catalyst prepared with magnetic stirring and conventional heating. The Ce-promoted silica sieves offered a suitable support for the controlled growth of nanocarbon that does not result in catalyst deactivation or poisoning after 6 h on stream.

Summary: The addition of citric acid improved the dispersion and reduced particle size of metal particles, while catalysts prepared from ammonia solution showed the largest metal particle size. In steam reforming of ethanol, dehydrogenation of ethanol takes place preferentially on terrace sites, while cleavage of C-C bond is favored by edge/steps sites.

Summary: A protonated form of Zeolite Socony Mobil-5 (H-ZSM-5) catalyst was synthesized through a hydrothermal method using different sources of silica. The effect of loading the catalyst with yttrium, samarium, and gadolinium on the acidic properties was investigated. Among the metal-loaded catalysts, the Sm/LHZ catalyst showed the best performance in the methanol to propylene conversion due to its high amount of weak and intermediate acid sites, while the Gd-LHZ catalyst increased the selectivity towards ethane and propane.
