Abstract

CO2 reforming and the combined CO2 reforming and partial oxidation reaction of selected fuel compounds were studied on a commercial 15 wt% NiO/Al2O3 catalyst and a 0.25 wt% Rh/ZrO2 catalyst at 600–900 °C. Oxygen reduced the energy requirement and catalyst coking. Ethanol was a more suitable starting material than the hydrocarbons.
