Renewable hydrogen by aqueous-phase reforming of glucose.
Hydrogen can be produced from aqueous solutions containing 10 wt% glucose with high selectivities through the combined use of a hydrogenation reactor for conversion of glucose to sorbitol, followed by a reforming reactor for conversion of sorbitol to H(2) and CO(2) and then a gas-liquid separator for the removal of high-pressure H(2)-rich reformate gas, ready for use in a fuel cell.
