An environmentally friendly and cost-competitive way of producing hydrogen is the catalytic steam reforming of biomass pyrolysis liquids, known as bio-oil, which can be separated into two fractions: ligninic and aqueous. Acetic acid has been identified as one of the major organic acids present in the latter, and catalytic steam reforming has been studied for this model compound. Three different Ni coprecipitated catalysts have been prepared with varying nickel content (23, 28 and 33% expressed as a Ni/(Ni + Al) relative at.% of nickel). Several parameters have been analysed using a microscale fixed-bed facility: the effect of the catalyst reduction time, the reaction temperature, the catalyst weight/acetic acid flow rate (W/mHAc) ratio, and the effect of the nickel content. The catalyst with 33% Ni content at 650 °C showed no significant enhancement of the hydrogen yield after 2 h of reduction compared to 1 h under the same experimental conditions. Its performance was poorer when reduced for just 0.5 h. For W/mHAc ratios greater than 2.29 g catalyst min/g acetic acid (650 °C, 33% Ni content) no improvement was observed, whereas for values lower than 2.18 g catalyst min/g acetic acid a decrease in product gas yields occurred rapidly. The temperatures studied were 550, 650 and 750 °C. No decrease in product gas yields was observed at 750 °C under the established experimental conditions. Below this temperature, the aforementioned decrease became more important with decreasing temperatures. The catalyst with 28% Ni content performed better than the other two.
