Title: Production of hydrogen from alcohols

Patent ·
OSTI ID:913570

A process for producing hydrogen from ethanol or other alcohols. The alcohol, optionally in combination with water, is contacted with a catalyst comprising rhodium. The overall process is preferably carried out under autothermal conditions.
