Ethanol steam reforming (ESR) was investigated on unpromoted and several sodium promoted Pt/ZrO2 catalysts. From DRIFTS experiments, the following steps during ESR were inferred: dissociation of ethanol to produce ethoxy species; oxidative dehydrogenation of ethoxy species to acetate; and acetate decomposition. Acetate decomposition depends on the catalyst formulation. Decarboxylation is the most favored route at high sodium loading (2.5 and 5 wt.%); acetate decomposes in the forward direction to CH4 and a carbonate, which further decomposes to CO2. In contrast, decarbonylation is prevalent for the unpromoted catalyst or catalysts having low sodium loading. Acetate likely decomposes to CH3OH and CO. Adsorbed methanol may undergo further steam reforming by oxidative dehydrogenation to formate species, which decarbonylates via reverse decomposition to CO and H2O. Temperature programmed desorption/reaction and activity data confirmed that alkali promotion, especially at 1.8 %Na and higher loading, facilitates the forward acetate decomposition step, favoring decarboxylation over decarbonylation.
