Abstract: The effect of temperature(180-340℃) on the ethanol steam reforming(ESR) with NiMoS/Al2O3 as catalyst was investigated in batch-type autoclave. The behavior of corn stover liquefaction in the ethanol-water co-solvent was studied. Results showed that the ESR occurred as the temperature increased to 320℃ with NiMoS/Al2O3, accompanied with the formation of CO, CO2, CH4, H2 and CnHm, of which the H2 yield was the highest(47 mmol). When the temperature was further increased to 340℃, the H2 yield remarkably increased to 122 mmol. Compared to the non-catalytic runs, the yield and heating value(QHHV)of bio-oil obtained from corn stover liquefaction at 340℃ with NiMoS/Al2O3 as catalyst increased from 21.26% and 32.14 MJ/kg to 29.57% and 33.89 MJ/kg, respectively. GC-MS results showed that the main components of the bio-oil were phenolics, esters and ketones, and the phenolics content decreased by 23% after adding the catalyst, which was beneficial to increase the stability of bio-oil.
