ethanol reforming, response surface, experimental design, optimization.Abstract
Factorial experimental design and response surface methodology, together with central composite design, were employed to investigate the effect of the process variables in hydrogen production via ethanol steam reforming. The influence of temperature (T), water– ethanol molar ratio (MR), and liquid hourly space velocity (SV) on hydrogen yield (
