Abstract Platinum supported silica nanocatalyst was synthesized for hydrogen production by steam reforming of glycerol (SRG). The catalyst was prepared by the sol-gel method and characterized using BET, SEM, and XRD techniques. The performance of the catalyst was evaluated in terms of glycerol conversion, hydrogen yield and exit gas selectivity in reaction temperature range 300–400 °C in a plate-type microchannel reactor at atmospheric pressure. According to the experimental results, Pt/SiO2 nanocatalyst was successfully synthesized by sol-gel method. The optimum conditions were obtained with inlet feed flow rate of 3 mL/h and temperature of 400 °C, leading to a low CO selectivity and high H2 yield. The results showed that the Pt nanocatalyst supported on SiO2 had a good performance on the gaseous products and yield of H2.

A sol-gel method is investigated to synthesize CuO – ZrO 2 nanoparticles as catalyst for hydrogen production from methanol. Finer precursor nanoparticles give rise to larger specific areas in catalyst which result in a high hydrogen production. The effects of some critical process parameters on the sol-gel synthesis of CuO – ZrO 2 nanoparticles are studied. These parameters are affected on synthesis of CuO – ZrO 2 when it is prepared with sol-gel method. Particle size and distribution are considered as the results. The parameters including the effect of calcination temperature, aging temperature, nature and concentration of catalyst (acidic or basic conditions), H 2 O /precursor molar ratio, and chelating agent that have been identified as most important, are focused. It is found that the calcination temperature strongly influenced the morphology and interaction between the active species and support, and hence the structure and catalytic performance. Nature and concentration of catalyst ( pH value), chelating agent, ( H 2 O /precursor) molar ratio and also aging temperature have influence on the nanoparticles. Thus, by controlling these factors, it is possible to vary the morphology and properties of the sol-gel-derived inorganic network over wide ranges. Morphology, particle size and distribution, phase evaluation, structure, and chemical analysis of the products are investigated by SEM, TEM, DTA/TG, XRD and EDX respectively.

The Ni catalysts supported by CeO2-Al2O3xerogel were prepared by sol-gel method. The effect of hydrolysis ratio (R at 16.5 and 165) on CeO2-Al2O3textural properties and phase formation were investigated. The results revealed that the porous texture and the Ni crystalline phase can be controlled by adjusting the hydrolysis ratio. A high surface area and small Ni crystallite size were obtained by using the hydrolysis ratio of 16.5. For hydrogen production via glycerol steam reforming, the Ni catalyst supported on CeO2-Al2O3xerogel showed a better catalytic performance than that supported on commercial alumina. The promoted Ni catalyst supported on commercial alumina suddenly deactivated after first 12 h, whereas that on Al2O3xerogel performed the catalytic stability more than 20 h. This demonstrated that the catalyst prepared by sol-gel method is an interesting catalyst for using in the glycerol steam reforming because of the catalytic stability enhancement.
