Abstract

This article reviews our recent results on the steam reforming of methanol over a series of NiAl-layered double hydroxide catalysts prepared by the co-precipitation method. The influence of calcination temperature, reaction temperature, pretreatment temperature and atmospheres, inorganic salt ions and steam to methanol ratio on the catalytic performance was studied. The major products for many of the catalysts were H2, CO, CO2 and CH4. However, the product composition varies significantly with the experimental parameters and high selectivity for CO2 and H2 was observed under various conditions, showing the potential of Ni based catalysts for the production of highly pure hydrogen.
