A membrane reactor for hydrogen storage and transport system using cyclohexane–methylcyclohexane mixtures

Simultaneous production of dimethyl ether (DME), methyl formate (MF) and hydrogen from methanol in an integrated thermally coupled membrane reactor

“…High calorific value comparing other common fuels, nonpollutant emissions during its combustion, application as a raw material in petroleum, chemical and other industries such as electricity, ammonia synthesis, methanol synthesis, oil refining, fuel cells, vehicle engines and power plants and its renewability and sustainability are the characteristics make hydrogen an attractive and promising fuel resource. On the one hand, hydrogen is the only element that can be produced and utilized to create energy, with no pollution [23,24]. Efficient and commercial hydrogen production processes are steam reforming of hydrocarbons such as methane, coal gasification, biomass gasification, catalytic decomposition of natural gas, partial oxidation of heavy oils and electrolysis.…”

Membrane reactors for the dehydrogenation of alkanes to alkenes

“…Methylcyclohexane, capable of carrying 6.16 wt% hydrogen, can retain a liquid state above À126.7 C (Itoh, Watanabe, Kawasoe, Sato, & Tsuji, 2006). Methylcyclohexane, capable of carrying 6.16 wt% hydrogen, can retain a liquid state above À126.7 C (Itoh, Watanabe, Kawasoe, Sato, & Tsuji, 2006).…”

“…4 shows the conversion of the methylcyclohexane dehydrogenation against the feed rate at 300 C. The equilibrium conversions at each pressure were also shown Pressure dependence of equilibrium conversion of cyclohexane and methylcyclohexane at 300 o C.

Adsorption and Phase Equilibria for Hydrogen Storage System Based on Dehydrogenation Reaction of Naphthenes, and Its Process Design

“…A bench scale hydrogen supply system 3), 4) has been already demonstrated by Chiyoda Corp. in Japan, whereas we have proposed a hydrogen supply system based on a palladium membrane reactor. Figure 2 shows the flow diagram of our proposed system 1),2),7) 10) . Naphthene is passed from a fuel tank to a membrane reactor, and catalytically converted to hydrogen and aromatic hydrocarbon.…”
