Biological Hydrogen Methanation with Carbon Dioxide Utilization: Methanation Acting as Mediator in the Hydrogen Economy

Carbon Dioxide Methanation for [4] Intensified Reactors

A comparative study on the kinetics of carbon dioxide methanation over bimetallic and monometallic catalysts

In this paper, Ni/Al and La-Ni/Al catalysts were prepared with a co-impregnation method and employed in carbon dioxide methanation reaction. The catalytic results showed that the catalyst with (10wt.%) of lanthanum and (20wt.%) nickel had the highest activity at low temperatures in CO2 methanation and the La-Ni/Al catalysts changed the reaction path by lowering its activation energy and consequ...

Methanation of Carbon Dioxide on Ni(100) and the Effects of Surface Modifiers?

The methanation of COz over Ni(100) was studied with H2/C02 ratios of 4/1 and 96/1 (total pressures of 120 and 97 torr) for temperatures between 450 and 750 K. Large amounta of CO were formed, with activation energies of 21.2 and 17.4-19.7 kcal mol-' for CH4 and CO formation, respectively. The absolute CHI production rates were very close to those seen for methanation of CO. These results suppo...

Assimilation of carbon dioxide by hydrogen bacteria.

Autotrophic organisms can use carbon dioxide as their sole source of carbon. Within this group, the chemosynthetic bacteria secure energy for carbon dioxide assimilation by the oxidation of simple inorganic substances, although the photosynthetic organisms obtain this energy from light. The phylogenetic relationships of the chemosynthetic bacteria to the photosynthetic and to the heterotrophic ...

The Kinetics of Methanation on Nickel Catalysts

An empirical rate equation was obtained for the methanation kinetics catalyzed by MCR-2X, a commercial catalyst prepared by Haldor-Topsoe. The studies were carried out in a fixed-bed reactor under differential conditions, and in a gradientless recycle reactor (Berry) over a range of total pressures, reactant concentractions (H2/CO ratios), and temperatures. The kinetics of methanation were foun...
