Due to environmental pollution and increased energy demand, the development of environmentally friendly new and renewable energy is getting attention all over the world. The steam reforming reaction is one of them, and the ethanol used as a reactant in the reforming reaction is converted to hydrogen by reacting at 700 ℃ or more. Recently, however, researches are under way to reduce the catalyst toxicity and increase the hydrogen production through reforming at low temperature. On the other hand, Zn is one of the representative metals promoting the WGS reaction at low temperatures and is known to have an interaction with Pd, widely used in the reforming reaction. In this study, MgAl2O4 catalyst was used for the ethanol reforming at low temperature, and 30% of Mg was replaced with Zn and a small amount of Pd to increase the hydrogen production of the catalyst. |
