Magnetic Inducement Utilization for Dopant Modification in Alumina Support for Ethanol Steam Reforming.

ABSTRACT: This study investigates the influence of magnetic inducement during synthesis on the physicochemical properties and catalytic performance of doped Al₂O₃ supports for ethanol steam reforming (ESR). Supports modified with zirconium oxide (ZrO₂), cerium oxide (CeO₂), and Gd₂O₃-CeO₂ were synthesized under three magnetic configurationsno magnet, N-N, and N-Sand characterized using XRD, BET, TPD, TGA, and TEM-EDS techniques. The results show that magnetic inducement, particularly in the N-N configuration, significantly improves dopant dispersion and enhances oxygen storage capacity, especially in supports containing paramagnetic Ce³⁺ and Gd³⁺.
