A multipass catalytic reactor insert for continuous hydrogen generation from methylcyclohexane

Design and simulation of a novel reactor for the H2 storage mechanism in methylcyclohexane

“…Considerable temperature drops occur in a fixed bed reactor that cause a significant decrease in the overall conversion of MCH. An efficient reactor design capable of providing rapid rates of heat transfer between the hot external fluid and the reaction mixture is therefore a requirement for increased throughput of hydrogen [9][10][11][12].…”

“…Recently, Kadar et al [10] developed an inverted fixed bed reactor with crossflow heating to the reactor tubes, but for a different LOHC system. In another study by Arora et al [12] the thermal profiles and liquid hourly space velocity of methylcyclohexane dehydrogenation reaction are investigated in a catalytic static mixer as a continuous flow tubular reactor.…”
