Carbon Deposition over Rhodium Catalysts during Oxidative Steam Reforming of Ethanol at Low-temperature

In our study, CH₂CH₂ was detected over 1 %Rh/MgO and 1%Rh/ZnO catalysts and not be detected over 1%Rh/CeO₂ and 1%Rh/La₂O₂CO₃, which is uncommon according to basic oxide supports favors inhibited production of CH₂CH₂. And the effect of supports to carbon deposition at low-temperature is been discussed.
