Flow Distribution Concepts for New Type Monolithic Co- or Countercurrent Reactors

Influence of Two-Dimensional Distribution Schemes upon Reactor Performance in a Ceramic Microchannel Network for Autothermal Methanol Reforming

“…To date, honeycomb monoliths have been investigated for the generation of hydrogen via partial oxidation of ethanol, higher hydrocarbons, steam reforming of ethanol, , biomass, and autothermal reforming of diesel, dimethyl ether, methanol, and gasoline . Additionally, Frauhammer and co-workers have demonstrated thermal coupling between exothermic and endothermic reforming of methane in an alumina monolith packaged such that it operated as a heat exchanger reactor. , Monoliths can be manufactured of ceramic, foam, or metallic materials (stainless steel, metal alloys, etc.). Ceramic monolith structures are frequently manufactured by extrusion, cordierite (2MgO/2Al 2 O 3 /5SiO 2 ) and alumina being the most common materials.…”

Fuel processing in integrated micro-structured heat-exchanger reactors

“…As shown in Fig. 1, the endothermic steam reforming reaction may be coupled to an exothermic catalytic combustion in such reactors, which was first time published by Eigenberger and co-workers for methane steam reforming in meso-scaled reactors made from ceramic monoliths and steel foils [3][4][5][6][7].…”
