In this research the effects of synthesis method and CeO2 and ZrO2 promoters were studied in the steam reforming of methanol over a CuO/ZnO/Al2O3 nanocatalyst. Addition of ZrO2 and CeO2 reduces CO selectivity, while CeO2 is more effective.

This work describes the unidimensional study of steam reforming of methanol at short pseudo-contact time. Steam reforming process (SRP) is important to hydrogen production as energetic vector. A compressible mathematical model 1-D is developed. Peppley kinetic mechanism (1999) is adopted. The numerical predictions show up the same trend as the experimental ones. A sensitivity analysis of the significant variables of the process is carried out (pressure, CH3OH/H2O ratio and temperature). Keywords: Methanol steam reforming; Hydrogen production; 1-D reactor model.
