Abstract
Abstract In order to study catalysts to obtain hydrogen by steam reforming of glycerol, nickel catalysts supported on commercial α-Al 2 O 3 and α-Al 2 O 3 modified by addition of ZrO 2 and CeO 2 were prepared and characterized. Results show the support effect on stability of catalysts in this reaction carried out at atmospheric pressure and in the range 450–600 °C. The most stable system resulted to be Ni/CeO 2 /α-Al 2 O 3 . Results can be explained due to the Ce effect in inhibition of secondary dehydration reactions forming unsaturated hydrocarbons that are coke precursors generating fast catalyst deactivation.
