Production of Hydrogen by Steam Reforming of Liquid Fuels: Activity Enhancement of Catalysts by Bimetallic Effect

摘要

Activity of nickel-based catalyst is remarkably enhanced by addition of second metals such as Co, Mo or Re. It is also effective to enhance the catalyst activity by mechanic mixture of the monometallic catalysts. A novel highly active bimetallic catalyst of Ni-Re/Al_2O_3 is found for steam reforming of liquid hydrocarbons.
