“…Finally, (ANL) has favored catalytic ATR developing new catalysts for the reforming and shift reactors. Researchers have suggested that ATR systems can be very productive, fast starting and compact and was successfully applied for reforming of alcohols, bio-fuels, gasoline and methane [20][21][22].…”

Abstract:This review examines recent patents and research articles in autothermal reforming (ATR) of fossil fuels like gasoline, diesel, JP-8 along with renewable fuels such as methanol, ethanol, glycerol, butanol, bio-oils and biodiesel into H 2 gas. The focus of the research was the recent developments in terms of ATR reformer design, ATR fuel processors, reformer start up, and reforming catalysts to determine the opportunities for R&D in this area. The production of H 2 by ATR of fossil fuels has been widely investigated; several catalytic studies based on various noble and non-precious metals like Rh and Ni are available, restricting new investigations. In contrast, H 2 production from bio feedstock like bio-oils, biodiesel, ethanol, and butanol are very recent and offer considerable room for further investigation..

“…In general, the high surface area per volume of the catalytic Microlith substrates is expected to help with the kinetically-controlled reaction, the short channel length of Microlith substrates is expected to aid the mass transfer controlled reaction, and the metallic support should improve conductive heat transfer to avoid local hot spots and increase durability to withstand mechanical and thermal shocks. 12,13 …”

To support continued manned space exploration, the development of atmosphere revitalization systems that are lightweight, compact, durable, and power efficient is a key challenge. The systems should be adaptable for use in a variety of habitats and should offer operational functionality to either expel removed constituents or capture them for closedloop recovery. As mission durations increase and exploration goals reach beyond low earth orbit, the need for regenerable adsorption processes for continuous removal of CO 2 and trace contaminants from cabin air becomes critical. Precision Combustion, Inc. (PCI) and NASA -Marshall (MSFC) have been developing an Engineered Structured Sorbents (ESS) approach based on PCI's patented Microlith ® technology to meet the requirements of future, extended human spaceflight explorations. This technology offers the inherent performance and safety attributes of zeolite and other sorbents with greater structural integrity, regenerability, and process control, thereby providing potential durability and efficiency improvements over current state-of-the-art systems. The major advantages of the ESS explored in this study are realized through the use of metal substrates to provide structural integrity (i.e., less partition of sorbents) and enhanced thermal control during the sorption process. The Microlith technology also offers a unique internal resistive heating capability that shows potential for short regeneration time and reduced power requirement compared to conventional systems. This paper presents the design, development, and performance results of the integrated adsorber modules for removing CO 2 , water vapor, and trace chemical contaminants. A related effort that utilizes the adsorber modules for sorption of toxic industrial chemicals is also discussed. Finally, the development of a 4-person two-leg ESS system for continuous CO 2 removal is also presented. Nomenclature
