OPEN ACCESS

Abstract: 

An stabilization effect of WOx over the Pt/hydrotalcite catalysts to produce H2 by ethanol steam reforming at low concentration was studied. The catalysts were characterized by N2 physisorption, X-ray diffraction, Infrared (IR), and UV-vis spectroscopy. The catalytic tests were made in a fixed bed reactor. The catalysts showed porous with the shape of parallel layers with a monomodal mesoporous distribution. By IR spectroscopy it was found superficial chemical such as: -OH, H2O, Al-OH, Mg-OH, and CO32-. The reaction products were; H2, CO2, CH3CHO, CH4 and C2H4. These catalysts did not produce CO and showed low selectivity to C2H4. By XRD we found that catalysts having Pt and the lowest W concentration showed the highest crystallinity and the highest stability during the reaction of ethanol steam reforming. A possible thermal stabilization effect of W in the hydrotalcite crystal structure leading to prevent the Pt sintering is proposed. By IR the hydrotalcite hydroxil groups coordinated with Mg and Al decreased by the presence of WOx. We found that catalysts with low W concentration and Pt having high crystallinity showed the highest stability after ethanol steam reforming. It could be a possible thermal stabilization effect of W in the hydrotalcite crystal structure leading to prevent the Pt sintering.
