PP-67STEAM REFORMING OF BIOMASS-DERIVED GLYCEROL ANDETHANOL FOR H 2 PRODUCTIONZiyi Zhong, Shici Duan, Chang Jie<strong>Institute</strong> <strong>of</strong> Chemical and Engineering Sciences, A-star, 1 Pesek Road,Jurong Island, Singapore 627833. Zhong_ziyi@ices.a-star.edu.sgBioethanol and biodiesel are two most dominant products from biomass whileglycerol is the major byproduct in biodiesel production. Steam reforming (SR) <strong>of</strong>glycerol and ethanol (EtOH) for H 2 production is attractive as the two feedstocks canbe directly converted into H 2 , which is a clean energy carrier [1]. In this investigation,Pt/C(activated carbon) and Rh/ZrO 2 catalysts were prepared by the sonication andthe impregnation method respectively. The Pt/C catalyst was applied to catalyze theSR reaction <strong>of</strong> glycerol, while the Rh/ZrO 2 catalyst to SR reaction <strong>of</strong> EtOH. Highcatalytic activities were observed on the two catalysts above 400°C. However, attemperatures below 400°C, a fast deactivation was observed for them due to theaccumulation <strong>of</strong> surface C-species. A detailed structure-catalytic property relationshipand possible reaction pathways are also discussed.Table 1.
