Hydrogen production from methane and natural gas steam reforming in conventional and microreactor reaction systems

High temperature CO2 sorbents and their application for hydrogen production by sorption enhanced steam reforming process

“…It can be generally produced by reforming of fuels or non-reforming processes like water electrolysis and biomass gasification. The fossil fuels (especially the natural gas) are usually used in industrial applications [176,177,[180][181][182]. Among the three processes for hydrogen production from methane feedstock, including steam reforming (SR), partial oxidation (POX), and autothermal reforming (ATR), the most economic process is steam methane reforming (SMR) due to the highest thermal efficiency and the lowest capital investment [176,177,180,182].…”

Hydrogen production by steam reforming of natural gas and other nonrenewable feedstocks

“…Specifically in hydrogen production by steam reforming, two advantages of using microreactors can be cited (Izquierdo et al, 2012):…”

“…These advanced reactions systems can be used for the decentralized production of hydrogen from natural gas. Izquierdo et al (2012) compared experimental results of methane and natural gas steam reforming in conventional and microreactor reaction systems. The microreactor was composed of 14 microchannels with 500  250-mm (width  depth) dimensions, made of stainless steel.…”

Application of POSS Nanotechnology for Preparation of Efficient Ni Catalysts for Hydrogen Production

“…The generated heat from POX is used for an endothermic SMR reaction, thus providing advantages of ATR technology for hydrogen production. Ni-based catalysts have been used and widely studied in methane reforming because of their high catalytic activity and low price [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. But under long exposure [44], co-precipitation [45], deposition-precipitation [46], combustion [47,48], sol-gel [49], surfactant assisted and polyol [50] methods.…”
