Abstract
High sulfur-tolerant Pt/CeO2/Al2O3 catalyst was prepared by incipient wetness impregnation. The effects of reaction and catalyst preparation conditions on the performance of Pt/CeO2/Al2O3 catalyst for steam reforming of iso-octane with 300 μg/g thiophene in feed were studied. The optimal CeO2 and Pt mass fraction in catalyst were 15 and 0.8%, respectively. The catalyst was tested for 100 hr run, which possessed excellent sulfur tolerance, high catalytic activity, and good stability. Iso-octane conversion was almost 100% within 40 hr and then slowly decreased to 95%, while H2 mole fraction in product stream remained at 75% with CH4 mole fraction about 1%.
