Abstract Experimental and theoretical modeling on low-temperature dry methane reforming over Ni-containing CeO2 rods was studied. The catalyst characterized by means of N2 physisorption, in-situ XRD, TPR H2 chemisorption techniques. characterization studies revealed the distortion flourite structure due to Ni incorporation. Lattice expansion (due reduction) contraction oxidation) suggest revers...

The operation of reforming catalysts in a fixed bed reactor undergoes high level interaction between the operating parameters and reaction mechanism. Understanding such an reduces catalyst deactivation rate. In present work, three kinds nanocatalysts (i.e., Pt/HY, Pt-Zn/HY, Pt-Rh/HY) were synthesized. catalysts’ performances evaluated for n-heptane reactions reactor. conditions applied followin...

Pervaporation membrane reactors are ideal candidates to enhance conversion in reversible reactions generating water as a by-product. This equilibrium displacement can be enhanced through close integration of reaction and separation by way of catalytic membranes. In this research, catalytic hollow fibre pervaporation membranes for the close integration of reaction and separation will be develope...

hydrogen is an unusual substance in that its molecule exists in two forms, known as ortho and para, with markedly different properties. energy level of the ortho molecule is higher than para, therefore, the latter is employed for industrial purposes. consequently, for a high  conversion of  ortho to para hydrogen a catalyst reactor must be employed.  therefore, one of  the main objectives of th...

in this study, the modeling of hydrogen production process in microreactors by methanol-steam reforming reaction is investigated. the catalytic reaction of methanol-steam reforming producing hydrogen is simulated considering a 3d geometry for the microreactor. to calculate diffusion among species, mixture average correlations are compared to stephan-maxwell equations. the reactions occurring in...

in this paper, using a one-dimensional simulation model, the reforming process of sour gas, i.e. ch4, co2, and h2s, to the various charged particles and syngas in a dielectric barrier discharge (dbd) reactor is studied. an electric field is applied across the reactor radius, and thus a non-thermal plasma discharge is formed within the reactor. based on the space-time coupled finite element meth...

The reforming of pure ethanol was studied over a bi-metallic precious metal (Rh/Pt) catalyst deposited on a ceramic monolith in order to analyze reforming process conditions. High ethanol conversion tests performed at low space velocities (<20,000 h ) confirmed that the catalyst could achieve 100% ethanol conversion to equilibrium concentrations of H2, CO, CO2 and CH4. Low conversion tests at h...

Nickel supported on SBA-15 doped with CeO2 catalysts (Ni-CeO2/SBA-15) was prepared, and used for steam reforming of toluene which was selected as a model compound of biomass gasification tar. A fixed-bed lab-scale set was designed and employed to evaluate the catalytic performances of the Ni-CeO2/SBA-15 catalysts. Experiments were performed to reveal the effects of several factors on the toluen...
