“…Furthermore, using the membrane reactor the catalyst selectivity was changed and the hydrogen yield was increased compared with the traditional packed-bed reactor. These facts are in agreement with other authors who compare membrane reactors with traditional reactors [51,52]. Furthermore, no C2…”

“…In terms of glycerol conversion, a clear increase was verified with the increase of pressure in several works with MRs [190,192,193]. However, Iulianelli et al [191] observed a high increase of glycerol conversion from 1.0 to 4.0 bar and a small decrease from 1.0 to 1.5 bar (Fig.…”

“…This growing interest in such technology is explained by the fact that, among other things, MRs allow to overcome the thermodynamic boundaries of equilibrium-limited reactions, thus allowing to reach high purity hydrogen streams that are suitable for use in PEMFCs. The experimental studies on GSR in MRs reported in the literature [190][191][192][193] accessed the effects of temperature, pressure and weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) and will be summarized in the next section.…”

The steam reforming of the main biodiesel by-product, glycerol, has been catching up the interest of the scientific community in the last years. The use of glycerol for hydrogen production is an advantageous option not only because glycerol is renewable but also because it's use would lead to the decrease of the price of biodiesel, thus making it more competitive. Consequently, the use of biodiesel at large scale would significantly reduce CO2 emissions comparatively to fossil fuels. Moreover, hydrogen itself is seen as a very attractive clean fuel for transportation purposes.Therefore, the industrialization of the glycerol steam reforming (GSR) process would have a tremendous global environmental impact. In the last years, intensive research regarding GSR thermodynamics, catalysts, reaction mechanisms and kinetics, and innovative reactor configurations (sorption enhanced reactors (SERs) and membrane reactors (MRs)) has been done, aiming for improving the process effectiveness. In this review, the main challenges and strategies adopted for optimization of GSR process are addressed, namely the GSR thermodynamic aspects, the last developments on catalysis and kinetics, as well as the last advances on GSR performed in SERs and MRs.

“…There is a need to improve the efficiency of the existing MSR process using new robust catalytic materials (Table 4) and also by intensifying reformer system (such as membrane assisted reactors (MRs)). Steam reforming of hydrocarbons is studied extensively in MR related to COx-free H2 production [82,83]. MSR at low temperature operation will be one of the main research objectives, but thermodynamically temperatures less than 600 °C are challenging for the reforming reaction [42].…”

Abstract:The treatment of volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions is a necessity of today. The catalytic treatment has already proven to be environmentally and economically sound technology for the total oxidation of the VOCs. However, in certain cases, it may also become economical to utilize these emissions in some profitable way. Currently, the most common way to utilize the VOC emissions is their use in energy production. However, interesting possibilities are arising from the usage of VOCs in hydrogen and syngas production. Production of chemicals from VOC emissions is still mainly at the research stage. However, few commercial examples exist. This review will summarize the commercially existing VOC utilization possibilities, present the utilization applications that are in the research stage and introduce some novel ideas related to the catalytic utilization possibilities of the VOC emissions. In general, there exist a vast number of possibilities for VOC OPEN ACCESSCatalysts 2015, 5 1093 utilization via different catalytic processes, which creates also a good research potential for the future.
