Catalysts for the hydrocarbon and synthetic fuels conversion for on-board synthesis gas generators

The use of synthesis gas produced on board the car as an addition to the main fuel fed to the engine delivers its operation on the dilute fuel mixtures. This leads to decreasing of toxic emissions and increasing of fuel efficiency. In order to create new types of efficient catalysts for the conversion of hydrocarbon and synthetic fuels for on-board synthesis gas generator used new approaches to the design of catalysts – not only as a catalytically active materials, but also as an elements of the design of chemical reactors. Series of catalysts for the conversion of hydrocarbons – natural gas, diesel and biodiesel fuels, biofuels and alcohols – ethanol, methanol to synthesis gas are prepared and tested. Metal mesh or porous tapes are used as the first support for catalysts, the second are oxides of aluminum and magnesium, deposited or sintered to the first support. Catalysts are highly thermally stable, characterized by matching the thermal expansion coefficients of the support material and a catalytically active layer, high mechanical strength. The catalysts can be used as structural elements of the reactor, manufacture based on these a monolithic blocks and planar elements of radial and planar reactors. The tests developed catalysts are: laboratory, more scale, and as part of car on-board generators.
