Hydrogen production by non-thermal plasma (NTP) assisted direct decomposition of hydrogen sulfide was carried out in a novel dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor with the inner electrode made of sintered metal fibers (SMF) also functioning as catalys ...
This study reports on the combination of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) generators fueled with biogas as renewable energy source, recoverable from wastes but at present underexploited. From a mobilisable near-future potential in the European Union (EU-15) of ...
The energy efficiency of an industrial hydrogen production process using steam methane reforming (SMR) combined with the water gas shift reaction (WGS) is analyzed using process integration techniques based on heat cascade calculation and pinch analysis wi ...
The proposed project addresses the optimal integration of a steam reforming process in a gas turbine power plant. In this configuration, the H2 produced by the way of natural gas fuel reforming is burned in the "clean" gas turbine and the upstream CO2 is r ...
La0.8Sr0.2CrO3 based Ru catalysts were studied as potential new anodic materials for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells directly fed with methane and operating at intermediate temperature under water deficient conditions. Two kinds of materials very close in compositi ...
This study addresses the development of a compact reactor for oxidative steam-reforming of methanol (OSRM) to produce hydrogen in autothermal mode for fuel cells. The string reactor uses catalytically active brass wires with a diameter of 500 mu m placed i ...
Hydrogen for fuel cell application can be produced autothermally by the combination of endothermic steam-reforming and exothermic oxidn. of methanol, called oxidative steam-reforming of methanol (OSRM). To enhance this reaction, the novel of a microstructu ...
A model for a 1000 kW class solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system running on biogas from a sewage sludge digestion plant was implemented in a process flow scheme using external steam reforming. The model stack consisted of planar anode supported cells operat ...
The aim of this work was to operate the steam reforming of methanol and the total oxidation of methanol in a microstructured two-passage reactor. The steam reforming enables the production of hydrogen at relatively low temperatures (250 °C) with only a sma ...
Novel micro-structured string-reactor designed as catalytically active wires placed in parallel into a tube was developed. The small diam. of the channels (.apprx.100 mm) leads to a short radial diffusion time, a narrow residence time distribution, and a l ...
