Abstract
AbstractDry‐reforming is a known process for the production of synthetic gas from natural gas or other volatile fossil fuels. Another possible application is the reforming of hydrocarbons contained in the synthetic gas produced from biomass or waste gasification. The absence of wide industrial process applications is mainly due to the high endothermicity of the reactions involved and technical problems associated with carbon formation. In this work, the target reaction is: The principal challenge is that of using a 2D catalyst formulation favouring the target reaction and permitting easy retrieval of deposited carbon while, at the same time, preserving the catalyst's activity and structural integrity.This paper presents the results obtained from the use of a 316 stainless steel catalyst. The catalyst is active in ethanol dry reforming as the yield of hydrogen reached 98% of the theoretical value. Moreover, the co‐product carbon is of a filamentous form and can be easily retrieved without risk of modification to the catalyst properties. This catalyst is recyclable; it can be used several times over in the dry‐reforming of ethanol process without detectable change in its activity and selectivity.
