Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>The inhibition effect of potassium addition on methane formation in steam reforming of acetic acid over alumina-supported cobalt catalyst has been studied. Co–K/Al2O3 catalyst showed much higher activity for hydrogen generation and much lower selectivity for methane than Co/Al2O3. Potassium addition resulted in the inhibition of methanation process. The similar effect was also observed in methanol and ethanol reforming reactions.</jats:p>
