Abstract

Abstract: Hydrogen production via steam reforming of bio-oil,a potential way to produce hydrogen, can reduce environmental pollution and dependence on fossil fuels. Acetic acid is one of the main components of bio-oil and is often selected as a model compound. Nickel-based catalyst is widely used in the steam reforming of acetic acid,but it deactivates fast due to the carbon deposition. In this paper,the affecting factors for the steam reforming of acetic acid are analyzed. The coking mechanism of nickel-based catalyst in this process is illustrated. Optimization methods for nickel-baed catalyst are discussed,including optimizing the pretreatment process,adding promoters,and choosing appropriate catalyst supports. Research progresses in the thermodynamics analyses for steaming reforming of acetic acid are summarized. Further studies should be focused on the effects of a combination of a variety of promoters on carbon deposition. Catalytic activity and the synergy mechanism should be analyzed to produce a novel nickel-based catalyst with high activity,high resistance to caborn deposition for hydrogen production via steam reforming of bio-oil.

Key words: bio-oil, acetic acid, hydrogen production, catalyst, thermodynamics

摘要： 通过生物油蒸汽重整制备氢气可以减少环境污染，降低对化石燃料的依赖，是一种极具潜力的制氢途径。乙酸是生物油的主要成分之一，常作为模型化合物进行研究。镍基催化剂是乙酸蒸汽重整过程中常用的催化剂，但容易因积炭失去活性，降低了制氢过程的经济性。本文首先分析了影响乙酸蒸汽重整制氢过程的各种因素，阐述了在这一过程中镍基催化剂的积炭原理，讨论了优化镍基催化剂的方法，包括优化催化剂的预处理过程、添加助剂和选择合适的载体，最后对乙酸蒸汽重整制氢的热力学分析研究进展进行了总结。未来应重点研究多种助剂复合使用时对镍基催化剂积炭与活性的影响，分析多种助剂的协同作用机理，得到一种高活性、高抗积炭能力的用于生物油蒸汽重整制氢的镍基催化剂。
