Production of Synthesis Gases from Catalytic Steam Reforming of Ethanol and Propane Processes

Abstract

In this study, steam reforming of ethanol and propane was purposed for production of hydrogen and synthesis gases. In the first stage of this project, ethanol steam reforming reaction studies were carried out at different experimental conditions for production of hydrogen and synthesis gases. In the second stage of this work, propane steam reforming reaction studies at different experimental conditions were performed. At the beginning, a commercial BASF catalyst at different experimental conditions was used for production of synthesis gases, and also, a catalyst with different metal compositions and supports was prepared in department research laboratory and then, it was used for production of synthesis gases under different experimental conditions.
