Transformation of initial chemical compound into a hydrogen-containing gas is carried out, as
a rule, using catalytic processes. A variety of systems for producing hydrogen from hydrocarbons
and alcohols for energy are being developed. We chose methanol forour process because of the fact
that, unlike many other organic fuels, methanol has a relatively low temperature 250–300°C of
catalytic conversion to hydrogen and CO
2
, which greatly simplifies the design of reactor. The
method we have stopped our choice on is catalytic steam reforming.
Steam reforming of methanol is an endothermic reaction and requires supply of heat to the
reaction zone (1):

The use of copper-containing catalysts makes it possible to carry out the process of steam
reforming at a temperature of 200-300 °C. In this case, for 100% methanol conversion, the contact
of reagents with the catalyst layer with a duration of no more than 0.1–1 sec was sufficient.
For our process a high-efficiency and stable Cu-Ce-Al

catalyst was prepared by taking the
activated alumina as the carrier. The preparation factors that affected the catalytic activity of Cu-

were investigated. Optimal working conditions, and different ratio of components were
researched. Characterization results show that Cu and Ce are successfully supported on the surface
of the activated alumina support and mainly exist in the form of oxides (e.g., CuO and CeO
2
). The
loading of metal led to a larger specific surface area and pore volume. Analytically pure copper

O were weighed on an electronic balance, and a 0.8 mol/L
concentration of the metal element active component precursor solution was prepared, controlling
the molar ratio of Ce:Cu from 3:1 to 1:3. The pretreated activated alumina was placed in a conical
flask, and the precursor solution was poured in until it was submerged in the activated alumina. The
conical flask was shaken in a water bath shaker for 2 h, and the water bath temperature was set at 25
°C. The supporter was dried at 110°C for 12 h. The catalyst was roasted in a muffle furnace at a
controlled roasting temperature of 300–550°C for 2–6 h. The Cu-Ce-Al

O

catalyst was produced
when the temperature cooled. When Ce:Cu = 1:2, the roasting temperature is 500°C, and the
roasting time is 5h, the elements Cu and Ce can be converted to the corresponding metal oxides
better, and the catalytic activity of the catalyst is higher.
