Abstract
In the present study, the power law-based kinetic models of ethanol steam reforming from the published literature are evaluated to obtain the higher ethanol conversion and hydrogen yield. The kinetic models developed for Ni(16.1%)–Al2O3, Ni(43.6%)–Al–LDH, Ni–Al2O3–MgO and Ru–Al2O3 catalysts are used based on surface reaction mechanism of ethanol and water. Evaluation of four different is carried out and compared under the operating conditions of temperature, 873 K and the theoretical water/ethanol ratio, 3:1 for a space time of 0–6.97 gcat h/g mol at atmospheric condition. The pseudo-homogeneous model of packed bed reactor is simulated using MATLAB (R2010a) with the assumptions of the steady-state, plug-flow and isothermal conditions. The model-predicted results show the good agreement with the experimental results obtained from the literature.
