Abstract The PtKCo/CeO 2 catalyst obtained by impregnation of high-surface CeO 2 (S BET = 42.5 m 2 /g) with the citrate complex of cobalt and doubly promoted with potassium and platinum was used in the steam reforming of ethanol (SRE - H 2 O/C 2 H 5 OH = 9/1) and oxidative steam reforming of ethanol (OSRE - H 2 O/C 2 H 5 OH/O 2 = 9/1/0.7) processes. Platinum promotion of KCo/CeO 2 catalyst improves cobalt dispersion and reduction of cobalt oxides. However, despite physicochemical differences in the properties of KCo/CeO 2 and PtKCo/CeO 2 catalysts, their behaviour under the SRE and OSRE conditions remains very similar. Probably the addition of platinum (0.22%) is insufficient. The temperature of 540 °C is sufficient to achieve complete conversion of ethanol and high selectivity towards hydrogen over the PtKCo/CeO 2 catalyst. The presence of oxygen in the feed decreases the deactivation rate of the catalyst but also it decreases selectivity of ethanol conversion to hydrogen.
