Steam reforming of ethanol is a promising route for the production of high purity hydrogen. Ni impregnated zirconia, with high chemical and thermal stability and high water adsorption-dissociation capability is an attractive catalyst for this reaction. In the present study, mesoporous zirconia and high surface area zirconia/silicate structured materials, such as Zr-SBA-15 and Zr-MCM-41, were synthesized following hydrothermal routes, using different surfactants as the structure directing templates. Surface area values of Ni impregnated mesoporous Zr-SBA-15 and Zr-MCM-41 catalysts with molar Zr/Si ratios of 0.13 and 0.45 were 515 and 338 m(2)/g, respectively. Ethanol reforming tests performed with these catalysts, in the temperature range of 550-650 degrees C, proved the potential of these materials to achieve very high hydrogen yields, over 90% of the maximum yield value of 6 mol per mole of ethanol reacted. Type of support material, Ni distribution and cluster size over the catalyst, reaction temperature and steam to ethanol ratio were found to have strong influence on coke formation and stability of hydrogen yield.

Performance comparison of microwave and conventionally heated reactors for sorption enhanced reforming of ethanol over Ni impregnated SBA-15
Sarıyer, Merve; Sezgi, Naime Aslı; Doğu, Timur (2019-12-01)
Hydrogen production from steam reforming of ethanol (SRE) and sorption enhanced steam reforming of ethanol (SESRE) over nickel impregnated SBA-15 catalyst was investigated in both conventionally and microwave heated reactor systems. Characterization results showed that 10 wt% Ni loaded SBA-15 exhibited Type IV isotherm with H1 hysteresis, which indicates mesoporous structure. Its surface area and mean pore diameter values were 493 m(2)/g and 6.5 nm, respectively. Results obtained in SRE tests showed high ac...
Effect of calcination/reduction temperature of Ni impregnated CeO2-ZrO2 catalysts on hydrogen yield and coke minimization in low temperature reforming of ethanol
ARSLAN KELAM, ARZU; Doğu, Timur (2016-10-15)
CeO2-ZrO2 was proven to be a quite effective catalyst support for steam reforming of ethanol (SRE). In this study, properties of Ni impregnated mesoporous CeO2-ZrO2 catalysts of different compositions were optimized by changing the calcination/reduction temperature. Increase of calcination/reduction temperature from 400 degrees C to 650 degrees C caused significant decrease in surface area and redox ability of the catalysts, yielding higher coke formation and lower hydrogen yields. Results proved that, very...
Direct synthesis of hydrogen storage alloys from their oxides
Tan, Serdar; Öztürk, Tayfur; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2011)
The aim of this study is the synthesis of hydrogen storage compounds by electrodeoxidation technique which offers an inexpensive and rapid route to synthesize compounds from oxide mixtures. Within the scope of this study, two hydrogen storage compounds, FeTi and Mg2Ni, are aimed to be produced by this technique. In the first part, effect of sintering conditions on synthesis of FeTi was studied. For this purpose, oxide pellets made out of Fe2O3-TiO2 powders were sintered at temperatures between 900 °C – 1300...
Deposition and testing of thin film hydrogen separation membranes
Pişkin, Fatih; Öztürk, Tayfur; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2013)
Industrial production of hydrogen from the syngas, generated from steam reformation of natural gas or coal gasification, sets conditions for hydrogen separation membranes in terms of operating conditions. An alternative source for hydrogen is a syngas generated by gasification of municipal solid wastes which are likely to set more stringent conditions for the separation membranes. There is therefore, a growing demand for separation membranes with improved permeability and particularly of low cost. Among var...
Carbon dioxide removal in steam reforming : adsorption of CO2 onto hydrotalcite and activated soda
Fıçıcılar, Berker; Doğu, Timur; Department of Chemical Engineering (2004)
Conversion of natural gas and other light hydrocarbons via steam reforming is currently the major process for hydrogen production. However, conventional hydrogen production technologies are not cost effective and therefore, cost is the biggest impediment to use hydrogen in fuel cell applications. In order to optimize and overcome cost problems in hydrogen production, sorption and membrane enhanced reaction processes are the two novel technologies for in situ operation of reforming and removal of carbon diox...
