As a favorably clean fuel, syngas (synthesis gas) production has been the focus of concern in past decades. Substantial literatures reported the syngas production by various catalytic reforming reactions particularly in methane or ethanol reforming. Among the developed catalysts in these reforming processes, Ni-based catalysts from hydrotalcite-like compounds (HTLcs) precursors have drawn consi...

Platinum extraction from spent reforming catalysts in iodine solutions under atmospheric pressure at different temperatures, acid concentration, and iodine spices concentration, catalyst particle size, and impeller agitation speed have been studied in our group. In this system, platinum is oxidized from spent catalyst with I3¯ that is formed ...

In this work, a reliable kinetic reaction mechanism was revised to accurately reproduce the detailed paths of steam reforming methane over Ni/Al2O3 catalyst. A steady-state fixed-bed reactor experiment and 1D catalyst model were utilized for task. The distinctive feature is possibility measure axially resolved temperature profile bed, which makes kinetics inside visible. This allows understandi...

This paper reviews how the changing financial environment in Korea has affected the conduct of monetary policy and examines the extent to which the Bank of Korea now uses the short-term interest rate rather than money aggregates as an operating target. Empirical results from estimation of monetary reaction functions suggest that the Bank of Korea has been following an interest rate target recen...

This paper describes recent developments in solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFC) that use Cu-based cermets as the anode for direct oxidation of hydrocarbon fuels, including liquids such as gasoline, to generate electrical power without the need for first reforming that fuel to H2. Cu-YSZ cermets were found to be stable in hydrocarbon environments, but exhibited low performance for direct oxidation. Re...

This chapter reviews recent studies of catalytic reforming of logistic fuels at hightemperature. Aside from steam and autothermal reforming, special consideration is given to partial oxidation conditions. Natural gas, gasoline, diesel, and ethanol containing fuels are discussed. Methane and iso-octane as fuel surrogates are exemplarily used to explain the behavior of the reformers in particular...
