Resumen:
Hydrogen to be used as a raw material in fuel cells or even as a direct fuel can be obtained fromsteamreforming of
bioethanol. The key aim of this process is to maximize hydrogen production, discouraging at the same time those reactions
leading to undesirable products, such as methane, acetaldehyde, diethyl ether or acetic acid, that compete with H2 for the
hydrogen atoms. Cu?Ni?K=-Al2O3 catalysts are suitable for this reaction since they are able to produce acceptable amounts
of hydrogen working at atmospheric pressure and a temperature of 300
