Abstract
Alumina foams coated with Rh/MgAl2O4 spinel active phases have been produced to be used as catalysts in steam reforming processes with improved thermal transfers and limited pressure drops. Those foam-supported catalysts area here fully characterised before and after aging in water-rich atmopshere at elevated temperatures. It is shown that they are stable at any architectural scale: macro- (foam), micro (coating) and nano- (Rh active pahse) structure. Such catalysts are then very promising catalytic loads to be further implemented in industrial units instead of standard loads.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
