This paper discusses the reforming of liquid hydrocarbons to produce
hydrogen for fuel cell applications, focusing on gasoline and diesel
due to their high hydrogen density and well-established infrastructures.
Gasoline and diesel are composed of numerous hydrocarbon species
including paraffins, olefins, cycloparaffins, and aromatics. We have
investigated the reforming characteristics of several representative
liquid hydrocarbons. In the case of paraffin reforming, H2 yield
and reforming efficiency were close to thermodynamic equilibrium
status (TES), although heavier hydrocarbons required slightly higher
temperatures than lighter hydrocarbons. However, the conversion efficiency
was much lower for aromatics than paraffins with similar carbon number.
We have also investigated the reforming performance of simulated
commercial diesel and gasoline using simple synthetic diesel and
gasoline compositions. Reforming performances of our formulations
were in good agreement with those of commercial fuels. In addition,
the reforming of gas to liquid (GTL) resulted in high H2 yield and
reforming efficiency showing promise for possible fuel cell applications.
