Steam reforming of ethanol is considered nowadays to be attractive mode of produc-
tion of hydrogen as the most viable energy carrier for the future. Additionally, producing
hydrogen from ethanol steam reforming would be environmentally friendly. Ethanol can
be prepared from agricultural residues and hence is a renewable resource. Its producing
from biomass fermentation is enough simple and cheap way. Besides operating condi-
tions, the use of catalysts plays a crucial role in hydrogen production through ethanol re-
forming. Different catalysts have been used for the steam reforming of ethanol, in the
great majority of cases, supported noble metals, nickel and cobalt. The present work is
devoted to investigation of the ethanol steam reforming over ferrites as novel oxide type
of catalysts for this reaction. The ferrite catalysts, MFe2O4 (M = Mg, Mn, Fe, Zn), have
been prepared by coprecipitation method; to characterize the catalysts, the methods of X-
ray diffraction, electron diffraction, BET, temperature programmed desorption of CO2,
the thermal gravimetry have been used. The catalytic experiments have been performed
at atmospheric pressure in the temperature range 573-823oK. The main reaction products
were acetaldehyde, acetone, CO2 and H2. It is important to note, that CO, which is unde-
sirable impurity in hydrogen, was not appeared in the reaction products. At relatively low
temperatures, high selectivity for acetone (71.3 %), that is very close to its theoretical
value (75 %), was observed for FeFe2O4. Thus, the FeFe2O4 ferrite can be considered as
an efficient catalyst for the direct conversion of ethanol to acetone. At higher tempera-
tures, selectivity to acetone decreases due to acetone conversion to CO2 and the target
product H2. The selectivity to hydrogen increases up to 823 K for all investigated ferrites.
Maximum hydrogen yield (83.4 %) was achieved for MnFe2O4, therefore it is a promi-

Introduction
The ethanol steam reforming (ESR) is an attractive, sus-
tainable and environment friendly route for production of hyd-
rogen as extremely clean energy source with relatively high
energy conversion and low air pollution. The ethanol produced
renewably by fermentation of different biomass sources is
called bioethanol, which is a mixture of ethanol and water with
molar ratio about 1:13 [1]. Currently, there are three genera-
tions of bioethanol, based on different feedstocks [2]. The first
generation of bioethanol is produced by fermentation of glu-
cose obtained from sugar crops (sugarcane and sugar beet) and
starch crops (wheat, barley, corn and potato). Second genera-
tion bioethanol production uses lignocellulosic resources and
agricultural residues as starting materials (straw, wood, herba-
ceous biomass, cellulose waste). Third-generation bioethanol
can be produced from marine organisms such as seaweeds.
The advantage of the second and third generations is their limi-
ted competition with human food.
The research interest in the area of catalytic ESR reaction
has been increased in the last 2 decades as evidences by re-
views [3-10]. Most studies have been performed over sup-
ported noble metals (Pt, Pd, Rh, Ru, Ir) [11-20], Ni [21-25],
and Co [26-30]. Recently, spinel-type oxides [31, 32] and
perovskites [33-35] have been employed as catalysts for ESR
reaction. The spinel-type oxide NiAl2O4 showed extremely
stable performance for 48 h at 823 K (the ethanol conversion
was almost 100%, the CO2, CO and CH4 selectivity were
around 80%, 10% and 10 %, respectively), whereas activity
of NiFe2O4 and NiMn2O4 was continuously reduced in time
[31]. According to XRD data, NiMn2O4 was completely
destroyed to Ni and MnO after catalysis; NiFe2O4 was par-
tially destroyed with a formation of Ni and Fe3O4, whereas
the crystalline structure of NiAl2O4 remained practically un-
changed. Nevertheless, it was supposed that catalytic action
of all these catalysts is determined by metallic Ni which is
generated under reaction conditions [31].
Another type of complex oxides, perovskites La2NiO4,
LaFeyNi1-yO3 and LaCo1-xZnxO3, was also found to be cata-
lytically active in the ESR reaction [33-35]. It was shown
that structure of La2NiO4 was destroyed to Ni-La2O3 during
catalysis. However, the obtained composition showed fairly
good catalytic performance at 923 K [33]. The catalytic ac-
tivity of perovskite-type oxide LaFeyNi1-yO3 was significant-
ly higher than activity of the supported catalyst

NiO/LaFeO3 with the same gross composition [34].
LaCo0.9Zn0.1O3 perovskite shown high stability in the
conditions of the ESR reaction and demonstrates hydro-
gen selectivity about 80 % [35]. High hydrogen yield in
the ESR reaction over spinel MnFe2O4 was achieved in
our previous work [36].
All these studies indicate that spinel and perovskite type
oxides may be considered as promising catalysts for the
ESR reaction. The aim of this work is to study a catalytic
performance of the novel catalysts for the ESR reaction:
spinel-type ferrites MIIFe2O4 (M = Mg, Mn, Zn, Fe).
Experimental
Catalyst preparation
The manganese ferrite MnFe2O4 was prepared by a
chemical co-precipitation method. NH3 water solution was
dropped to a water solution of Fe(III) and Mn(II) nitrates
with molar ratio 2:1 under vigorous stirring, then the pro-
duced brown reaction mixture was cured at 363 K during 5 h
with continuous stirring. The obtained precipitate was sepa-
rated by magnetic decantation, washed with water, ethanol
and diethyl ether, dried at room temperature and calcinated
at 673 K for 2 h. Commercially available chemically-pure
grade and analytical grade reagents were used without addi-
tional purification.
Ferrites MFe2O4 (M = Mg, Fe, Zn) were synthesized by
similar procedure [37-39]. The aqueous solutions of Fe(III)
and M(II) nitrates were used (chlorides for M = Fe). Final-
ly, the prepared samples were calcinated at 673 K for 2 h
(in nitrogen flow for M = Fe to avoid oxidation of Fe(II)).
Catalyst characterization
X-Ray diffraction measurements (XRD) were carried
out with a Bruker D8 Advance diffractometer, with a Cu-
anode, λ = 0.154 nm, step 2θ = 0.050, exposition time
5 s/step. Identification of crystalline phases was performed
by matching with the ICDD files in the PDF-2 Version
2.0602 (2006) database. BET surface areas were measured
by using a Sorptomatic 1990 instrument by adsorption of
nitrogen at 77 K. Electron diffraction analysis (EDA) was
conducted on a PEM-125K transmission electron micro-
scope (Selmi, Ukraine) with accelerating voltage 100 kV.
In order to evaluate the basicity of the oxide surface,
CO2-TPD experiments were carried out with a conventio-
nal setup equipped with a TCD detector. The catalyst samp-
les were first purged with He at 623 K for 2 h, then cooled
down to room temperature. The adsorption of CO2 was
carried out using a feed mixture of 50 vol.% CO2/He for
30 min. The reactor was then purged with He for 2 h. After
that the temperature was increased to 823 K with a heating
rate of 10 K/min under He flow (40 ml/min). The change in
thermal conductivity is due to the concentration change of
CO2 in the effluent was recorded. The CO2-TPD signals
were referred to 1 m2 of surface area of the samples.
Hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction (H2-
TPR) was performed with the same setup. A catalyst sam-
ple was pretreated at 523 K for 2 h under flowing Ar
(50 ml/min). After cooling to room temperature, the sample
was exposed to a flow of 10 vol.% H2/He (50 ml/min), and
the temperature was increased linearly at 10 K/min.
To elucidate the influence of catalyst calcinations on a
catalyst state, the thermal gravimetric method was per-
formed. The curves of mass loss (TG) as well as of differen-
tial thermal analysis (DTA) and differential gravimetric
analysis (DTG) were registered with a thermal gravimetric
analysis system Q-1500 (supplied by MOM instruments,
Budapest) with an air flow from 298 to 1273 K at a heating
rate of 10 K/min; a sample mass was of 0.4 to 0.6 g.
Catalytic tests
The ESR reaction was carried out in a fixed-bed tubular
quartz reactor at atmospheric pressure with the temperature
increased stepwise from 573 to 823 K at molar ratio
H2O/C2H5OH=19 (2.7 mol.% C2H5OH, 50 vol.% H2O,
N2 balance) that is close to water/ethanol relation in bio-
ethanol obtained by fermentation. The procedure of cataly-
tic tests and reaction mixture analysis were as described
elsewhere [40]. A catalyst, approx. 1 g, of particle size be-
tween 1 and 2 mm, was placed in a reactor between two
layers of quartz grains of the same diameter; it was held at
each temperature for 1 h, followed by gas chromatography
analysis. At the end of a catalytic test at 823 K, the flow of
reaction mixture was stopped and a catalyst was cooled
under N2 stream and stored for characterization.
Ethanol conversion, X, and selectivity of carbon-based
reaction products, SCn, were evaluated according to the fol-
lowing expressions:

Results and Discussion
Catalyst stability
According to X-ray diffraction data, reflexes in XRD
patterns of the fresh samples of FeFe2O4, MnFe2O4,
MgFe2O4 ferrites calcined at 673 K were not observed
(ZnFe2O4 was poorly crystallized). This can be explained
by too small size of catalyst particles. Identification of the
ferrite crystalline phases was made by electron diffraction
analysis. For example, electron diffraction patterns of the
FeFe2O4 sample are given in Fig.1.

Fig.1. Electron diffraction patterns of FeFe2O4 before (left) and
after (right) catalysis at 823 K
After increasing of calcinations temperature to 873 K in
air manganese ferrite remained in amorphous state during
4 h, and while it was transformed to Mn2O3(ICDD N 01-
089-2809) and Fe2O3(ICDD N 01-085-0599) after 10 h
calcination at the same temperature due to ferrite oxidation.
In contrary, after catalysis all ferrite samples possessed a
clear crystalline image with a structure of cubic spinel as
shown in Fig. 2 (for identification of ferrite crystalline
phases, we used ICDD N 00-019-0629 for FeFe2O4, ICDD
N 01-074-2403 for MnFe2O4, ICDD N 01-088-1942 for
MgFe2O4 and ICDD N 00-022-1012 for ZnFe2O4).
Crystallization of ferrites in the catalytic conditions was
accompanied with a significant decreasing of its specific
surface area (Table 1). The effect of influence on the ferrite
crystallization may be associated with alternating acts of
reduction and oxidation of a catalyst during the ethanol
steam reforming reaction; oxygen defects formed in a re-
duction step make more easy migration of ions in the cata-
lyst lattice and thus promote catalyst crystallization in the
reaction conditions. Indeed, the specific surface area of
MgFe2O4 was decreased from 121 to only 115 m2 g-1 after
calcinations at 823 K in air, while it was observed dramati-
cally strong falling down of the specific surface area to
14 m2 g-1 when MgFe2O4 was explored as a catalyst of ESR
reaction (Table 1).

A thermal stability of the MFe2O4 (M = Fe, Mn, Zn,
Mg) ferrites was also estimated by DTA-DTG method,
obtained thermograms are presented in Fig.3. There are two
temperature ranges of a mass loss. The first associated with
water desorption was observed at 323-473 K with a maxi-
mum at 373-393 K; it was accompanied with an endother-
mic peak in the DTA curves. The mass loss at this tempera-
ture range was 11.6%, 12.7 %, 11.9% and 0.8% for
FeFe2O4, MnFe2O4, MgFe2O4 and ZnFe2O4 respectively.
The second temperature range of a mass loss was observed
at 523-623 K for FeFe2O4 and at 573-673 K for MgFe2O4;
it may be associated both with surface dehydroxylation as
well as with decomposition of nitrate groups and organic
compounds [41]. The mass loss was 5.7% for FeFe2O4
and 5.0% for MgFe2O4. Exothermal peaks at 553-593 К,
that accompanied by mass loss for FeFe2O4, can be related
to burning out of the organic solvent residues. The exo-
thermic peaks at 803–853 K in DTA curves may be related
to ferrospinel crystallization [42]. In these conditions, the
cation migration from octahedral sites to tetrahedral ones
may take place [42]. The total mass loss of the ferrite sam-
ples after their heating from 293 K to 1273 K was 21.2%
for FeFe2O4; 15.8% for MnFe2O4; 20.3% for MgFe2O4 and
2.2% for ZnFe2O4.
Ferrite reducing ability
Catalyst reducing ability was estimated by the hydrogen
temperature-programmed reduction method (H2-TPR). The
obtained results are shown in Fig.4.
The TPR profile of FeFe2O4 demonstrates complex
structure. The peaks were separated using the Gaussian
function and two overlapping peaks were recorded for the
FeFe2O4 with maximum reduction temperatures 873 K and
966 K that may be attributed to reductive transformation
Fe3+Fe2+ and Fe2+ Fe0 respectively. The profile of
MnFe2O4 consists of two peaks at 632 and 768 K. Peaks at
650 K and 719 K were found for TPR profile of MgFe2O4.
It may be assumed that these peaks characterize the reduc-
tion of Fe3+ ions in octahedral (first peak) and tetrahedral
(second peak) coordination. The reduction peak at 676 K
was observed for ZnFe2O4 that may be associated with re-
duction Fe3+Fe2+,3+, while hydrogen consumption at
Т 773 K may be a result of the reduction of Zn2+ to Zno, as
well as Fe2+,3+ to Fe2+.

The TPR data highlight that the nature of metal M in the
MFe2O4 ferrospinels influence significantly on the reductive
ability of spinel Fe3+ ions. The order of reductive facility of
Fe3+ to Fe2+ in spinels during Fe2O3Fe3O4 transformation
is as follows: MnFe2O4 > MgFe2O4> ZnFe2O4.
Ferrite surface basicity
The rates of temperature programmed desorption of
CO2 normalized to surface area unit of the MFe2O4 (M =
Fe, Mn, Mg, Zn) samples are presented in Fig.5.
The CO2-TPD profiles of all ferrospinels are qualitative-
ly similar in the range of 298-673 K; they can be divided to
two peaks with maximum of 358-394 K (basic sites l) and
423-476 K (basic sites m). Basing on literature data [43-
45], the low-temperature CO2 desorption (about 373 K)
may be related to the bicarbonate species which formed by
CO adsorption on a weak basic OH group, the medium
temperature desorption (about 473 K) may be related to
bidentate carbonate species which formed due to CO2 inter-
action with basic M-O pairs on the ferrite surface; they
characterized as a medium strength basic sites.
Table 2 summarizes the CO2-TPD measurements of the
ferrite samples: temperature maxima of CO2 desorption
from low-temperature sites l (Tl) and from middle-
temperature sites m (Tm); relative amounts of sites l (Al) and
sites m (Am) as well as total amounts of basic sites per gram.
The strength of sites m characterized by Tm changes in the
order MgFe2O4 MnFe2O4 >FeFe2O4 ZnFe2O4. In addi-
tion, MgFe2O4 has the highest CO2 uptake per gram. The
relative amounts of l and m sites is approximately equal for
FeFe2O4, l site amounts are higher than m site ones for
MnFe2O4 and MgFe2O4 while only l sites were found out
for ZnFe2O4.
As known, FeFe2O4, MnFe2O4 and MgFe2O4 have in-
verse spinel structures, while ZnFe2O4 has a normal spinel
structure. Fe3+ ions in a normal spinel structure occupy oc-
tahedral sites which dominate on the surface of metal ox-
ides with spinel structure [46]. Thus, it may be supposed
that weak basic sites of ZnFe2O4 are OH-groups bonded to
Fe3+ ions and a contribution of Zn-O pairs to ZnFe2O4 is
negligible. In the case of inverse spinels such as FeFe2O4,
MnFe2O4 and MgFe2O4, the metal bivalent ions M2+ re-
place trivalent ions in octahedral sites, thus it may influence
both acid-basic and catalytic properties. The weak basic
sites (l sites) are OH groups bonded with Fe, Mn and Mg
ions while relatively stronger sites (m sites) are Fe-O, Mn-
O and Mg-O ion pairs. Basing on cation charge/cation radi-
us relation that characterized the basicity strength, one can
obtain the following order of a decreasing of cation basici-
ty: Mg2+Mn2+Fe2+Fe3+. Note that this order is close to
the order obtained above by the CO2-TPD method for fer-
rite samples with the same cations.

Ferrite catalytic properties in the ESR reaction
Table 3 presents the temperature dependencies of
ethanol conversion, X, for the studied catalysts. The
highest values of X were obtained for FeFe2O4 and
MnFe2O4 in the temperature range of incomplete con-
version.
The main reaction products were acetaldehyde, acetone,
CO2 and H2; others were methane and C2-C4 hydrocarbons
(HC) which formed in enough small amounts. It is
important to note that CO was not detected in the reaction
products.
The primary reaction in the ESR over ferrites can be the
reaction of ethanol dehydrogenation to acetaldehyde [1-10]:
C2H5OH = CH3CHO + H2, (I)
Another common feature of the catalytic action of all
investigated ferrites is a production of significant amounts
of acetone at temperatures near 673 K. Acetone can be
formed by reaction:
2 CH3CHO+H2O=CH3COCH3 +CO2 +2 H2. (II)
Also, ethanol can be directly converted to acetone, i.e.
without intermediate formation of acetaldehyde in a gas
phase:
2 СH3СH2OH + H2O = CH3COCH3 + CO2 + 4 H2 (III)
Reaction (III) is especially probable for FeFe2O4; indeed,
selectivity to acetone on this catalyst was near 60% already at
573 K, and it enhanced to 71.3% at 673 K (Table 3).
Summarily, acetaldehyde and acetone prevail over
other reaction products. As seen from Fig.6, the experi-
mental values of acetone and other reaction products for-
FeFe2O4 are fairly close to their equilibrium values at 673 K.
Here, thermodynamic calculations were made by procedure
described in textbook [47] in supposition that only reactions
(I) and (II) take place. Obtained results point out also that
further transformation of acetone proceeds yet slow at 673 K,
it becomes significant at more high temperatures. There-
fore, the ferrite FeFe2O4 may serve as a promising catalyst
for acetone producing from ethanol.

The surface metal cations M+in ferrites can be attributed to
Lewis acid centers and oxygen anions O- to Brensted base
centers. Probable mechanism of ethanol conversion to acet-
aldehyde may be as follows. Interaction of ethanol mole-
cule with an acid-base pair M+-O- leads to heterolytic O-
H cleavage with formation of adsorbed ethoxy intermediate
CH3CH2O(a) located on metal ion and proton located on
surface oxygen ion. Next step is a -elimination of hydride
ion H- from C-H bond in an ethoxy particle with transfer of
H- to the surface metal ion and desorption of acetaldehyde.
Finally, a recombination of hydride ion and proton take
place leading to the formation of gaseous molecular hydro-
gen. The main features of this mechanism were adopted
from the work [48].
Adsorbed CH3CHO(a) species can give rise to acetone
formation via the aldol-type mechanism [49,50]:
2CH3-CHO(a) + O(s)CH3-CH(OH)-CH2-COO(a) +H(a) (IV)
CH3-CH(OH)-CH2-COO(a) + H(a) CH3-CO-CH3 + CO2
+ H2 (V)
where O(s) is a lattice oxygen.
It is assumed that aldol condensation is catalysed by sur-
face basic centers [49,50]. The presence of surface basic
centers in the investigated ferrites was shown by the tem-
perature programmed desorption of CO2 (Fig.5). The re-
moval of the surface oxygen in the step (V) leads to the
formation of surface oxygen vacancies (with simultaneous
decrease of the oxidation state of the nearest metal ions).
Oxygen loss is compensated by the interaction of water
with reduced surface centers as follows:
H2O + (s) O(s) + H2 (VI)
where (s) denotes a surface oxygen vacancy.
In more details, an oxygen vacancy may be presented as
[Fe2+Fe2+]s species which is converted in reaction (VI) to
[Fe3+O2-Fe3+]s. The reaction (VI) plays a very important role
in the steam reforming of ethanol, first of all, because it
gives up to 50% of hydrogen produced in the total ESR
process.
The oxygen vacancies appear as a result of the reduction
of the surface metal ions by gaseous and adsorbed organic
compounds or their fragments like CH3(a), CH2(a), CO(a) as
well as by hydrogen.
The overall reductive step in the ESR reaction can be
expressed as
CH3CH2OH + 3 O(s) 2 CO2 + 3 H2 + 3 (s) (VII)
At the temperatures higher 623-673 K, acetone selecti-
vity decreases, while selectivity to CO2 continues rising
(Table 3). Obviously, it is due to the reaction of the steam
reforming of acetone to CO2 and H2:
CH3COCH3 + 5 H2O = 3 CO2 + 8 H2 (VIII)
The data reported here show that the studied ferrites
with spinel structure are active catalysts for the ESR reac-
tion. Catalytic properties of spinels containing ions of tran-
sition metals depend on their redox properties as well as ion
distribution between octahedral and tetrahedral sites in a
spinel crystalline structure. Octahedral sites are exposed
almost exclusively at the surface of the spinel oxides and
the cations of these sites play the main role in the catalytic
reaction [46, 51]. In particular, high activity of MnFe2O4 in
the ESR reaction could be caused by the octahedral ions
Fe3+ and Mn2+ that facilitate the red-ox transfer in M3+/M2+
pairs. According to the TPR results, MnFe2O4 should more
easy supply oxygen for oxidation of organic surface inter-
mediates in comparison with MgFe2O4 and ZnFe2O4 thus
selectivity to the mostly oxidized reaction product CO2 and
hydrogen is in whole higher for MnFe2O4.
Analysing the data for investigated ferrites (Table 3), one
can deduce that an increase of temperature leads to a shift of
the reaction product composition toward CO2 and H2, which
is the target product of the ESR reaction. Fig.7 shows the
temperature dependencies of hydrogen yield, YH2.
Maximum hydrogen yield is achieved at 823 K for
MnFe2O4 (83,4 %). Note, that YH2 value for MnFe2O4 prepared
by decomposition of the heteronuclear complex
[MnFe2O(CH3COO)6(H2O)3]∙2H2O was 94,6 % at 923 K [36].

Conclusions
The catalytic ethanol steam reforming was studied over
the MFe2O4 (M = Fe, Mn, Mg, Zn) ferrites with the spinel
structure prepared by co-precipitation method. The active
phase of these catalysts is oxide phase because the catalysts
remained in the unreduced state in the ESR conditions.
Ethanol was firstly dehydrogenated to form acetaldehyde,
which was then converted into acetone via condensation
pathway. Besides, it is possible the direct way of ethanol
conversion to acetone without intermediate formation of
acetaldehyde in a gas phase. The formed acetone was fur-
ther steam reformed to hydrogen and CO2. It is important
that products of the ESR reaction on the investigated fer-
rites do not contain CO.
In summary, the FeFe2O4, MnFe2O4 and MgFe2O4 fer-
rites could be considered as durable catalysts for hydrogen
production via the ESR reaction. Moreover, the FeFe2O4
ferrite is efficient for the ethanol conversion to acetone,
thus, it can be used, for example, as the catalyst of the first
step in a two-step ESR reaction process or in other two-step
processes which involve an intermediate formation of ace-
tone.

Паровий риформінг етанолу на сьогодні є привабливим способом одержання водню як
найбільш життєздатного носія енергії у майбутньому. Крім того, одержання водню з етано-
лу може бути екологічно сприятливим. Етанол може бути виготовлений з сільськогоспо-
дарських відходів, отже він є відновлювальним ресурсом. Його одержання шляхом фермен-
тації біомаси є досить простим і дешевим способом. Крім експлуатаційних умов, вирішаль-
ну роль має використання каталізаторів для одержання водню шляхом риформінгу етанолу.
Різні каталізатори були використані для парового риформінгу етанолу, у переважній біль-
шості нанесені благородні метали, нікель і кобальт. Дана робота присвячена дослідженню
парового риформінгу етанолу на феритах як нового типу оксидних каталізаторів цієї реак-
ції. Феритні каталізатори, MFe2O4 (M = Mg, Mn, Fe, Zn), були приготовані методом співоса-
дження; для характеристики каталізаторів використовували методи рентгенофазового ана-
лізу, дифракції електронів, БЕТ, температурно-програмованої десорбції CO2, термічної гра-
віметрії. Каталітичні експерименти здійснювали за атмосферного тиску у діапазоні темпе-
ратур 573-823 K. Основними продуктами реакції були ацетальдегід, ацетон, СО2 і Н2. Важ-
ливо відзначити, що СО, який є небажаною домішкою до водню, не міститься в продуктах
реакції. При відносно низьких температурах висока селективність за ацетоном (71,3 %), яка
дуже близька до її теоретичної величини (75 %), спостерігалася для FeFe2O4. Таким чином,
ферит FeFe2O4 може бути ефективним каталізатором прямого перетворення етанолу у аце-
тон. За високих температур селективність за ацетоном зменшується внаслідок конверсії
ацетону у СО2 і цільовий продукт Н2. Селективність за воднем збільшується при підвищен-
ні температури до 823 К для усіх вивчених феритів. Максимум виходу водню (83,4 %) було
досягнуто на MnFe2O4, тому він є перспективним об'єктом для подальших досліджень.

Strizhak, P.E. ethanol, steam reforming, ferrite catalysts, hydrogen етанол, паровий риформінг, феритні каталізатори, водень Steam reforming of ethanol is considered nowadays to be attractive mode of production of hydrogen as the most viable energy carrier for the future. Additionally, producing hydrogen from ethanol steam reforming would be environmentally friendly. Ethanol can be prepared from agricultural residues and hence is a renewable resource. Its producing from biomass fermentation is enough simple and cheap way. Besides operating conditions, the use of catalysts plays a crucial role in hydrogen production through ethanol re-forming. Different catalysts have been used for the steam reforming of ethanol, in the great majority of cases, supported noble metals, nickel and cobalt. The present work is devoted to investigation of the ethanol steam reforming over ferrites as novel oxide type of catalysts for this reaction. The ferrite catalysts, MFe2O4 (M = Mg, Mn, Fe, Zn), have been prepared by coprecipitation method; to characterize the catalysts, the methods of X-ray diffraction, electron diffraction, BET, temperature programmed desorption of CO2, the thermal gravimetry have been used. The catalytic experiments have been per-formed at atmospheric pressure in the temperature range 573-823 K. The main reaction products were acetaldehyde, acetone, CO2 and H2. It is important to note, that CO, which is undesirable impurity in hydrogen, was not appeared in the reaction products. At relatively low temperatures, high selectivity for acetone (71.3 %), that is very close to its theoretical value (75 %), was observed for FeFe2O4. Thus, the FeFe2O4 ferrite can be con-sidered as an efficient catalyst for the direct conversion of ethanol to acetone. At higher temperatures, selectivity to acetone decreases due to acetone conversion to CO2 and the target product H2. The selectivity to hydrogen increases up to 823 K for all investigated ferrites. Maximum hydrogen yield (83.4 %) was achieved for MnFe2O4, therefore it is a promising object for further study.
