Selective production of hydrogen via oxidative steam reforming of methanol using Cu–Zn–Ce–Al oxide catalysts

A compact highly efficient multichannel reactor with a fixed catalyst bed to produce hydrogen via methanol steam reforming

“…After selecting the optimal reactor temperature, we performed a set of experiments to analyze the dependence of the methanol conversion and outlet mixture composition versus the W=F CH 3 OH (g.min/mmol) [17,18]. Molar methanol feeding rate F CH 3 OH (mmol/min) was calculated from equation:…”

Production of hydrogen by steam reforming of methanol in the presence of copper/zinc-aluminium based catalysts prepared by adopting memory effect of hydrotalcite

“…The observed H 2 consumption should be then assigned only to the reduction of copper species on calcined support. TPR analysis of the calcined solids reveals several peaks which can be attributed to various copper species, reduced at different temperatures [8]. Indeed, 10%Cu presented three species of copper which are reduced at low temperatures.…”

Membrane reactors for autothermal reforming of methane, methanol, and ethanol

“…Heat transfer happens via dividing walls from the chamber where the exothermic reaction (methane oxidation) is taking place to another chamber where the endothermic reaction (methane reforming) is carried out (Patel & Pant, 2007;Simakov & Sheintuch, 2009). Exothermic and endothermic reactions take place in different chambers, which are separated by heat conductive walls.…”
