Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) is the main method to obtain synthesis gas inproduction of alcohol, ammonia, acids Fischer-Tropsch and other organic products.The study has investigated reaction SMR it mechanism, explained aerosolnanocatalysis (AnC) vibrated bed as alternative technology instead using heterogeneouscatalyst in bed. The research proven that NiO best catalyst could be used thereactio...

Steam reforming is a promising route to convert natural gas into syngas - mixture of H2 and CO, used as feed stock e.g. for ammonia, methanol Fischer-Tropsch synthesis processes. For the industrial application steam reforming, detailed understanding process prerequisite. Models that capture homogeneous heterogeneous reaction kinetics comprehensive transport processes well their interaction have...

Abstract Ni60Co40 nanoparticles supported on ?-Al2O3 capable of simultaneously catalysing the steam reforming reaction methane and supplying in-situ heat necessary to activate by induction heating, have been synthesized characterized. Energy is remotely promptly supplied an alternating radiofrequency magnetic field (induction heating system) that act as dissipating agents virtue their ferromagn...

A supported Pd-Au (Au 7wt%) membrane was produced by electroless plating deposition. Permeation tests were performed with pure gas (H₂, H₂, N₂, CO₂, CH₄) for long time operation. After around 400 h under testing, the composite Pd-Au membrane achieved steady state condition, with an H₂/N₂ ideal selectivity of around 500 at 420 °C and 50 kPa as transmembrane pressure, remaining stable up to 1100 ...

In this work it is analyzed the performance of an iron waste material as oxygen carrier for a chemical-looping combustion (CLC) system. CLC is a novel combustion technology with the benefit of inherent CO2 separation that can be used as a source of energy for the methane steam reforming process (SR). The tail gas from the PSA unit is used as fuel in the CLC system. The oxygen carrier behaviour ...

Steam reforming of the crude glycerol by-product of a biodiesel production plant has been evaluated experimentally at atmospheric pressure, with and without in situ CO(2) sorption, in a continuous flow fixed-bed reactor between 400 degrees C and 700 degrees C. The process outputs were compared to those using pure glycerol. Thermodynamic equilibrium calculations were used to assess the effect on...
