Abstract A large amount of the hydrogen deriving from fossil resources is consumed for existent catalytic processes to produce drop-in fuel lipid resources. For targeting cost-reasonable and environmentally benign production, rapeseed oil deoxygenation catalyzed by Pt/Al2O3 was tested under hydrothermal condition with an autoclave reactor in present research work, expectation that renewable pro...

Cu nanoparticles (CuNPs) were successfully synthesized in situ on ZnO whiskers as a selective scaffold, which were supported in a microstructured paper matrix composed of inorganic fibers; as-prepared paper composites were easy to handle in practical use and demonstrated excellent catalytic performance in the methanol reforming process for effective hydrogen production.

The article presents the results of adhesion, flowability, hygroscopicity, and wettability RG-482, 582-1.2 catalyst dust under laboratory conditions. It is determined that smaller particle size, easier they stick to surface apparatus. stickiness was by size solid particles dust. In course experiments, it also proved this not sticky, because mainly contains fine particles, a two-stage efficient ...

Vegetable oils and ethanol have been used in a plasmatron reformer to generate synthesis gas. Corn, canola, and soybean oils and ethanol have been reformed at different oxygen to carbon ratios and different power levels. Both homogeneous plasma reforming (uncatalyzed) and catalytic plasma reformer have been evaluated.

Fluid-mediated interaction between catalyst particles alone issho wn to yield severul interesting and significant phenomena in a catalytic reactor that have been generally attributed in the past to direct interaction between particles. Thus, collaborative interaction between particles and the fluid may enhance or abate steady-state multiplicity, and reverse stability behavior. From the simple s...

We report on the experimental performance of a solar aerosol reactor for carrying out the combined thermochemical reduction of CeO2 and reforming of CH4 using concentrated radiation as the source of process heat. The 2 kWth solar reactor prototype utilizes a cavity receiver enclosing a vertical Al2O3 tube which contains a downward gravity-driven particle flow of ceria particles, either co-curre...

The modular catalysts were fabricated via the combination of the Ni-MgO-Al2O3 mixed oxide nanoplates and the mesoporous SiO2 coating. Due to the dual confinements, the catalysts show high catalytic activity with enhanced coke- and sintering-resistance in the dry reforming of methane reaction.

A flow trough type catalytic reactor system was adequately modified for NO related catalytic and adsorption measurements, including the on-line connection of a digital chemiluminescent NO-NOx analyzer to the reactor outlet system. Moreover, we have largely completed the installation of an FTIR coupled catalytic system containing a HTEC cell for high temperature DRIFT studies. Three different ba...

This work presents the results from biomass gasification tests in a low throughput fluidized bed membrane reactor (FBMR) and compares them with two-phase model predictions. The operating temperature was decreased to 550C, while an equimolar steam/cellulose ratio was used. The profiles of kinetics limitation and biomass conversion were analysed when a palladium (Pd) membrane for hydrogen separat...
