Pilot plant data are presented from a 1291-h test on an adiabatic catalytic methanation reactor employing recycled product gas for cooling. Topics discussed include conversion, product yields, catalyst properties, and deactivation rates. A mathematical model postulating an irreversible Langmuir-HInshelwood mode of deactivation is presented and applied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
