The catalytic steam reforming of bio-ethanol will provide a sustainable route for renewable hydrogen production in future economy. Ni catalysts be an economically attractive alternative to noble metals. Biochar is promising catalyst or support, having shown already good activity tar reforming. structure biochar, its inherent alkali and alkaline earth metallic species the content O-containing fu...

A naphtha catalytic reforming unit with four reactors in series is analyzed. A physical model is proposed to describe the catalytic reforming radial flow reactor. Kinetics and thermodynamics equations are selected to describe the naphtha catalytic reforming reactions characteristics based on idealizing the complex naphtha mixture by representing the paraffin, naphthene, and aromatic groups by s...

Pseudomorphism is known as a suitable technique for producing mesoscale pore in silica powders keeping their original morphologies. Herein, silica discs with several millimeter dimensions have been prepared using the same method. This method has been utilized through application of pseudomorphism reaction of preshaped bodies by immersion in a solution containing surfactant and swelling re...

The influence of operation temperature, inlet gas composition, current density and the anode thickness on methane steam reforming reaction over nickel yttria-stabilized zirconia anodes was experimentally studied in solid oxide fuel cells. experimental results were analyzed using data fitting Power-Law Langmuir–Hinshelwood kinetic models. Similar trends dependence partial pressures observed both...

With the actual growth of the natural gas industry in the US as well as the potential and availability of this non-renewable carbon source worldwide, reforming of methane gas is getting increasing attention. Methane can be used for the production of heat or electricity, as well, it can be converted to syngas, a building block that could lead to the production of liquid fuels and chemicals, a ve...

Hydrogen is considered one of the energy carriers future due to its high mass-based calorific value. combustion generates only water, and it can be used directly as a fuel for electricity/heat generation. Nowadays, about 95% hydrogen produced via conversion fossil fuels. One challenges find processes based on renewable source produce in sustainable way. Bioethanol promising candidate, since obt...
