NOVEL CATALYSTS BASED ON MAGNESIUM, ALUMINUM, NICKEL AND COBALT HYDROXO SALTS FOR THE CARBON DIOXIDE CONVERSION OF BIOGENIC ALCOHOLS TO HYDROGEN-CONTAINING GASES

Catalysts based on alumomagnesium hydroxo salts of hydrotalcite type containing nickel and cobalt ions have been used for the first time for carbon dioxide conversion of biogenic alcohols - ethanol and isobutanol - into hydrogen-containing gases (a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide). At the optimum temperatures of 800-900C, the hydrogen yield in the conversion of ethanol reaches 77-97%, in the conversion of isobutanol - 80-89%.
