Abstract: The glycerol's APR reaction over 5% Pt/Al2O3 catalyst for H2 production in a batch reactor is investigated in the present work. The effect of the operating parameters, such as the: i) reaction time, ii) operating temperature, iii) glycerol concentration and iv) catalyst concentration on: a) the gaseous and liquid products selectivity, b) the glycerol's conversion and c) the H2 yield is investigated. Initially, the glycerol's APR is studied at various temperature (200, 220, 240 °C) and reaction time (30, 60, 120, 240 min), using 1 wt.% or 10 wt.% glycerol solution and 0.5, 1, 2.5 g of 5% Pt/Al2O3 catalyst weight.
