This study aims at optimizing the composition of the bifunctional catalyst with CuFe2O4 spinel metallic function for the steam reforming of DME (SRD). The γ-Al2O3 obtained by calcination of boehmite at 550 °C proves to be the most suitable acid function, given that it provides high activity for DME hydrolysis and avoids hydrocarbon formation in the 300-400 °C range. Furthermore, the optimum mass ratio between CuFe2O4 and γ-Al2O3 functions is 1/1 at 350 °C, since it allows obtaining the highest DME conversion and H2 yield with suitable catalyst stability and mechanical resistance.
