Resumen:
Hydrogen production at
low/medium-scale through ethanol steam reforming (ESR) has received increasing
attention in recent years mainly based on environmental concerns (almost-closed
CO2 cycle, low toxicity). Structured catalysts are preferred for
practical implementation of ESR due to improved heat and mass transfer
characteristics, enhanced control of the operating conditions and low pressure
drop. This work presents experimental and theoretical results regarding the ESR
over honeycomb monoliths functionalized with Pd-Rh/CeO2. We report
here preparation and characterization details of the catalysts as well as their
experimental evaluation. Moreover, the parameters of power-law-type reaction
rate equations were fitted.
