Preparation and performance evaluation of hydrogen-producing catalysts for diesel reforming

Abstract Ru/Al 2 O 3 catalyst was prepared by standard impregnation method. The catalytic reforming performance of Ru/Al 2 O 3 and commercial high nickel/low nickel catalysts on commercial No.0 diesel oil was studied. The regeneration method of carbon-deposited catalyst was also discussed. The results show that commercial low nickel catalyst has poor catalytic activity and stability for diesel, and increasing the water-carbon ratio can slightly improve the conversion rate of diesel. Increasing the reforming reaction temperature and adding methanol additives can effectively improve the catalytic activity of commercial high nickel catalysts. Ru/Al 2 O 3 is a potential catalyst for diesel reforming, reducing the reforming reaction temperature can effectively prevent the catalyst from high temperature hydrolysis deactivation. Hydrogen peroxide has a good regeneration effect on Ru/Al 2 O 3 catalyst.
