Catalyst and process development for the H/sub 2/ preparation from future fuel cell feedstocks. Quarterly progress report, October 1, 1978-December 31, 1978

Abstract

The work done under t h i s contract in the"1ast quarter of 1978 was concerr~ed with Phase I , which involved preliminary c a t a l y s t and process evaluation. The processes under study a r e hydrogen a s s i s t e d steam reforming (HASR), c a t a l y t i c p a r t i a l oxidati,on (CPO), and autothermal ,steam reforming (ATR). Existing Engel hard t e s t ' u n i t s were modified t o carry out preliminary runs using t h e f i r s t two processes. Technical analysis t o support work in t h i s area consisted of heat
