  • Catalyst for low temperature ethanol steam reforming and related process
    Patent number: 11724936
    Abstract: A catalyst composition suitable for the ethanol reforming process at low temperature with enhanced stability on long term, comprises a noble metal, such as platinum or rhodium, and a transition non-noble metal, such as nickel or cobalt, supported by a carrier comprising, cerium, zirconium, optionally aluminium, supplemented with potassium. It is provided also a method for the stable production of hydrogen from an ethanol containing gas stream, comprising subjecting the gas stream to catalytic ethanol reforming as to form a rich H2 stream, using the catalyst as defined above.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 31, 2016
    Date of Patent: August 15, 2023
    Assignee: KT—KINETICS TECHNOLOGY S.P.A.
    Inventors: Gaetano Iaquaniello, Emma Palo, Vincenzo Palma, Antonio Ricca, Concetta Ruocco
  • Method for stable ethanol steam reforming
    Patent number: 10889495
    Abstract: Method for stable ethanol steam reforming, wherein a catalytic ethanol reforming is carried out in two vessels operating in parallel mode both filled in with a catalyst active for this reaction, with the first vessel acting in operation mode, generating an hydrogen rich stream, and the parallel vessel, acting in regeneration mode, made flowing with steam in order to carry out the gasification of carbonaceous compounds deposited on the catalyst.
