Hydrogen Production by Catalytic Steam Reforming of Bio-oil, Naphtha and CH4 over C12A7-Mg Catalyst

Hydrogen production by catalytic steam reforming of the bio-oil, naphtha, and CH4 was investigated over anovel metal-doped catalyst of (Ca24Al28O64)4+￠4O-/Mg (C12A7-Mg). The catalytic steam reforming wasinvestigated from 250 to 850 ±C in the ˉxed-bed continuous °ow reactor. For the reforming of bio-oil, theyield of hydrogen of 80% was obtained at 750 ±C, and the maximum carbon conversion is nearly close to95% under the optimum steam reforming condition. For the reforming of naphtha and CH4, the hydrogenyield and carbon conversion are lower than that of bio-oil at the same temperature. The characteristics ofcatalyst were also investigated by XPS. The catalyst deactivation was mainly caused by the deposition ofcarbon in the catalytic steam reforming process.
