Abstract

Ni-Al-based catalysts prepared by impregnation, co-precipitation, and polymer-modified incipient methods, referred to as NA-IM, NA-CM, and NA-PM, respectively, were applied to autothermal reforming (ATR) of n-dodecane, since this hydrocarbon exhibits properties similar to those of diesel fuel and can be used as its surrogate. The corresponding catalytic performances were evaluated in terms of H2 yield and n-dodecane conversion at 750 °C and 12,000 h−1 in a fixed-bed reactor at an S/C molar ratio of 1.23 and an O2/C molar ratio of 0.25. NA-CM and NA-PM exhibited similar performances in terms of H2 yield (1.4) and n-dodecane conversion (90%); however, the performance of NA-IM was inferior to those of other catalysts. The differences between the prepared catalysts were investigated by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis, with the obtained results indicating the importance of well-dispersed Ni species in NA-PM for efficient ATR.
