Catalytic Properties of MnO, Fe2O3, and MnFe2O4 in the Steam Reforming of Ethanol

  • Published:
Theoretical and Experimental Chemistry Aims and scope

The catalytic activity of manganese ferrite MnFe2O4 and the oxides MnO and Fe2O3 in the steam reforming of ethanol (SRE) has been studied. The similarity of the catalytic activity of Fe2O3 and MnFe2O4 has been established which may indicate the predominant role of the iron ions in the formation of the catalytic activity of manganese ferrite. The complex oxide MnFe2O4 exceeds the simple oxides in selectivity to the desired product of SRE – hydrogen.
