Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/076305
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a fuel reforming system that can convert gasoline of which hydrocarbons are the primary constituent into alcohol in a vehicle. Provided is a fuel reforming system (1) equipped with a reformer (15) having a reforming catalyst (152) that uses air to reform gasoline of which hydrocarbons are the primary constituent to produce alcohol, a mixer (14) which is provided upstream of the reformer (15) and which mixes gasoline and air and supplies the mixture to the reformer (15), and a condenser (16) which is provided downstream of the reformer (15) and which separates the gas produced in the reformer (15) into a gas phase and a condensed phase of which reformed fuel is the primary constituent; wherein the fuel reforming system (1) is characterized in that the reforming catalyst (152) is configured including a main catalyst for extracting hydrogen atoms from the hydrocarbons in the gasoline to produce alkyl radicals, and a catalytic promoter for reducing alkyl hydroperoxides produced from the alkyl radicals to produce alcohol.
