Thermally autonomous microchannel reactor to produce hydrogen in steam reforming of methanol

Simulation Study of a Membrane Reactor for Ultrapure Hydrogen Recovery from Methanol Steam Reforming Reaction under Periodic Steady-State

“…the problem is described by mean of conversion of methanol (X CH3OH ) and of carbon dioxide (X CO2 ). Under steady state conditions, the molar flow rates for each species are expressed in Equations (12)(13)(14)(15)(16). a) In reaction side:…”

“…So, it is considered as a source for fuel cell powered vehicles [12,13]. Steam reforming of methanol is considered to be the most effective route for hydrogen production and has been the subject of several researches works [14][15][16].…”

Solution Precursor Plasma Spray (SPPS) technique of catalyst coating for hydrogen production in a single channel with cavities plate type methanol based microreformer

“…Other advantages include flow uniformity and long flow residence times [9][10][11]. Therefore, microreformers with microchannels have been developed and investigated by several researchers [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Holladay et al [12] developed an integrated methanol fuel reformer system with SS-316 as substrate for fabrication and consisted of two vaporizers/ preheaters, a reformer, catalytic combustor and heat exchanger.…”

Effective Low-Temperature Methanol Aqueous Phase Reforming with Metal-Free Carbon Dots/C3N4 Composites

“…The development and utilization of new energy can effectively alleviate the energy crisis and environmental problems. − Hydrogen (H 2 ) is one of the ultraclean energy carriers, and H 2 fuel cells can efficiently convert H 2 into electric energy. − However, the storage and transportation of H 2 have always been the bottlenecks, hindering the large-scale application of hydrogen energy. It is an effective indirect hydrogen storage strategy to store H 2 in liquid fuel, release H 2 in situ through catalytic reactions, and supply it to fuel cells. − …”
