Steam reforming of ethanol over Ni-based catalysts was investigated for measures which could minimize carbon deposition (C_Dep). It was shown that K₂SO₄, K, CeO₂, and ZrO₂ all increased conversion and decreased C_Dep. Addition of K₂SO₄ however decreased the reforming activity slightly, which increased hydrocarbon yields.
