Abstract

Rhodium nanoparticles were synthesized by means of the chemical reduction method and applied as precursor for the preparation of Rh/Al2O3 catalysts with different Rh content (1, 2.5 and 5wt.%). High surface area alumina powder was impregnated with the nanoparticle solution. After drying and calcination, the catalyst powder was deposited in microchannels by means of a washcoating process and after repeated drying and calcination tested for steam reforming of propane. All catalysts showed full conversion at the reaction conditions applied (T=750°C, S/C=4, WHSV=120 Nl/(h*gcat)) including during mid-term tests of 140h uninterrupted testing.
