Abstract
Autothermal reforming (ATR) involves the reaction of oxygen, steam, and fuel to produce H2 and CO2. Stable and efficient ATR catalysts for hydrogen production in auxiliary power units were evaluated. Reactor studies involved the reforming of synthetic diesel fuel. Three model samples were prepared to study the ATR activity of synthetic diesel fuel: Pt, Pd, and Pt-Pd catalysts supported alumina. Samples loaded with Pt or Pd yielded about 50% hydrogen compared to 45% from bare alumina. The ATR activity on the Pt, Pd, and Pt-Pd catalysts confirmed a positive effect of Pt and Pd in the bimetallic sample, because the level of activity of this system was higher than on either of the monometallic components.
