- hydrogen gas can be produced from methanol by three types of processes, namely steam reforming (SRM), partial oxidation (POX) and autothermal reforming (ATR).
- SRM steam reforming
- POX partial oxidation
- ATR autothermal reforming
- SRM of methanol is the most common and well-established technology.
- SRM methanol is reacted with steam to produce hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide with trace amount of carbon monoxide.
- SRM is a catalytic reaction where the presence of catalyst plays a significant role in the rate and efficiency of the reaction.

- the metal component which is the Pd, Cu and Zn are used in different standard values for the preparation of the catalyst.
- the amount of metal component which includes copper, zinc and palladium in the catalyst is preferably to be 1% to 5% by weight of the catalyst, respectively.
- the maximum active metal loading on the support is predetermined at 5%. Therefore, a statistical mixture experimental design of Pd-Cu-Zn- Alumina is applied in the present invention. It is based on the response surface method of the design of experiment, whereby the relationship of the factors (the different types of composition of the three metals in the catalyst) and response (efficiency in the catalytic capability of the catalyst) in a process is represented by mathematical equation which is used to model the blending surface. A standard simplex centroid design is used for determining the amount of different metals added into the mixture.
- the amount of a mixture of copper, zinc and palladium in the catalyst is preferably to be 5% by weight of the catalyst.
- all three metals, copper, zinc and palladium are added in a percentage of 1.67% by weight of the catalyst. This optimum weight percentage of these three active metals is able to give high activity since high surface area on the support is impregnated by low active material content of the metals.
- the amount of different metals added into the mixture is determined by the statistical mixture experimental design which aims to find the effect of the different composition in the mixture to the yield and hydrogen and selectivity of carbon dioxide.
- Gamma-alumina is an enormously important material in catalysis. It is commonly used as a catalyst in hydrocarbon conversion or as a support for automotive and industrial catalysts as in the present invention.
- Alumina has negligible catalytic activity in the production of hydrogen from methanol. It acts as the support for the impregnation of the copper, zinc and palladium.
- the amount of alumina in the catalyst is at least 95% by weight of the catalyst.
- the gamma alumina employed in the present invention has a surface area of 228m 2 /g and its average particle size is approximately 100 micron.
- the palladium employed in the present invention is preferably Pd(NOs) 2.2EkO
- the suitable source of Cu is Cu(NO 3 ) 2.3H 2 O
- the suitable source of Zn is Zn(NOs) 2 -OH 2 O.
- the catalyst produced is active at low temperature and low pressure for methanol reforming which is favourable when the hydrogen is coupled to PEMFC for automotive application.
- the catalyst also has high surface area and uniform distribution of active species on the surface which are proportional to the increase of its catalytic activity.
- Another embodiment of the present invention is a method to prepare a catalyst comprising copper, zinc, palladium or any combination thereof which is supported on alumina by incipient wetness impregnation process.
- the Pd-Cu-Zn-Y-Al 2 O 3 is prepared by a 2-step process. Initially, the pure Cu and Zn powder are dissolved in an aqueous or organic solvent respectively to form Cu and Zn precursor solution. It is then followed by a co-impregnation process of ⁇ - Al 2 O 3 with the mixture of Cu and Zn precursor solution which is dried and calcined. Consequently, Pd precursor solution is added to the Cu-Zn- ⁇ -Al 2 O 3 by sequential- impregnation. The resulting catalyst is dried at approximately 60°C to 67°C with occasional stirring for one hour and then kept at 110 0 C overnight. The dried catalyst is calcined in nitrogen flow at 500 0 C for 3 hours to decompose the nitrate so as to obtain a pure Pd-Cu-Zn- ⁇ -Al2 ⁇ 3 catalyst.
- This impregnation method is capable of provide a catalyst which requires less active metal loading to achieve the same catalytic activity and more resistant to sintering.
- the preparation by co-precipitation method also offers well dispersed active metals throughout the support of alumina.
- Still another embodiment of the present invention is a method for producing hydrogen, comprising the step of converting methanol to hydrogen gas by an autothermal steam reforming process in the presence of both oxygen and steam using a catalyst comprising copper, zinc, palladium or any combination thereof which is supported on alumina.
- this autothermal steam reforming reaction is capable of producing hydrogen gas at moderately low temperature which is preferably in a range of 180 0 C to 280 0 C and low pressure of 1 bar to 2 bar.
- the method for producing hydrogen from methanol as described by the preferred embodiment is a high efficient autothermal reaction where it provides maximum yield of hydrogen and yet consumes minimum level of energy. Accordingly, the maximum yield of hydrogen gas can be 77%.
- the carbon dioxide selectivity is approximately 1.2% to 73%.
- Autothermal steam reforming (ATR) reaction as described in the preferred embodiment of the present invention is a combination of the endothermic steam reforming (SRM) reaction and the exothermic partial oxidation (POX) reaction.
- SRM endothermic steam reforming
- POX exothermic partial oxidation
- the catalyst offered a viable way to harness hydrogen from methanol to be used as an energy source for the future especially when methanol is derived from renewable sources such as biomass.
- the catalyst embodied by the present invention is also applicable for crude oil processing, hydrotreating naphtha, synthesis of methanol from syngas or petrochemicals industry.
