Abstract

A nanostructured alumina (ANS) supported Ru catalyst was prepared and tested for the steam reforming of natural gas for hydrogen production. The Ru/ANS catalyst showed higher activity and stability through whole range of reaction conditions than catalysts consisting of commercial alumina as a support. The ANS, synthesized via a surfactant-driven pathway under a hydrothermal condition, exhibited a high thermal stability, a large pore volume and high surface area with fibrous morphologies. The results indicated that this ANS can be an efficient catalyst support for natural gas steam reforming.
