Abstract:

Ethanol can be derived from biomass and can be regarded as one of renewable resources. In this study, ethanol was used as the feedstock for synthetic gas (syngas) production via chemical looping of partial oxidation, dry reforming, and steam reforming. Using the partial decomposition as the reference, it was found that a lower reaction temperature can be used to get higher C2H5OH conversion by the introduction of reforming agents (CO2 in dry reforming and H2O in steam reforming. The H2/CO ratio in the product can be adjusted by the reactant composition. Based on the results presented above, the steam reforming of ethanol is suitable for H2 production.
