  • STEAM REFORMING OF HYDROCARBONACEOUS FUELS OVER A NI-ALUMINA SPINEL CATALYST
    Publication number: 20150069300
    Abstract: A process for steam reforming of a hydrocarbonaceous fuel includes the steps of: providing a reactant mixture comprising H2O and the hydrocarbonaceous fuel; and contacting the reactant mixture with a Al2O3-yttria-stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ)-supported NiAl2O4 spinel catalyst under conditions wherein the reactant gas mixture is at least partially steam reformed into a product gas mixture including H2 and CO. The synthesis gas (H2 and CO) produced can be used as feed material for fuel cells. The catalyst includes a NiAl2O4 spinel-based catalytically active material; and a support material comprising: Al2O3 and ZrO2. The Al2O3-YSZ-supported NiAl2O4 catalyst can be used in steam reforming of a liquid hydrocarbonaceous fuel.
