Steam reforming of methane and methanol in simulated macro & micro-scale membrane reactors: Selective separation of hydrogen for optimum conversion

Three-dimensional numerical and experimental investigation of an industrial-sized SOFC fueled by diesel reformat – Part I: Creation of a base model for further carbon deposition modeling

“…3(a) represents the fuel cell behavior at q ¼750 C. Methane species trend is plotted as a dark blue, almost horizontal line. The chemical equilibrium of the methane-steam reforming reaction for a temperature of q ¼750 C should be on the product side of this reaction [46,47]. Experimental data shows that internal reforming of methane in the applied cell is low in this particular application.…”

“…Through the use of these, the methanol conversion of the SRM could be boosted significantly because of the facilitation of mass and heat transfer. Among these reactors, membrane reactors have attracted much interest as the desired product of H 2 can be recovered consecutively from the system by the coupled selective membranes . As such, the chemical equilibrium of the SRM reaction would shift towards the forward direction, which results in the improvement of the methanol conversion and H 2 yield .…”

Conversion of natural gas and gas liquids to methanol, other oxygenates, gasoline components, olefins and other petrochemicals: A collection of published research (2010–2015)

“…A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Singh et al (2014) simulated macro-scale and micro-scale membrane reactors for steam reforming of methane and methanol with selective separation of hydrogen to achieve optimum conversion rates. A micro-scale membrane reactor is conceptualized as a channel with one wall coated with catalyst material, and the other wall permeating hydrogen through a layer of palladium.…”
