NICKEL CATALYST SUPPORTED ON MESOPOROUS ZIRCONIA-CERIA MIXED METAL OXIDE, PREPARATION METHOD THEREOF AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING HYDROGEN BY AUTOTHERMAL REFORMING OF ETHANOL USING SAID CATALYST

摘要

A nickel catalyst, a manufacturing method thereof, and a method for producing hydrogen by autothermal reforming of ethanol using the catalyst are provided to offer stability at high temperature, and to prevent a sintering phenomenon of nickel particles. The nickel is supported on mesoporous zirconia-ceria mixed metal oxides. The nickel is used for hydrogen production by autothermal reforming of ethanol. The nickel of 1 ~ 50 parts by weight is supported on the mesoporous zirconia-ceria mixed metal oxides 100 parts by weight. The mesoporous zirconia-ceria mixed metal oxides uses a block copolymer or a cationic surfactant. A zirconium precursor or a cerium precursor is manufactured by a sol-gel method after performing a condensing and hydrating process.
