Energy-efficient distributed carbon capture in hydrogen production from natural gas

Efficient production of hydrogen from natural gas steam reforming in palladium membrane reactor

Ultra-thin, high performance composite palladium membrane, developed via a novel electroless plating method, was applied to construct a membrane reactor for methane steam reforming reaction, which was investigated under the following working conditions: temperature 723–823 K, pressure 300–900 kPa, gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) 4000–8000 mL g 1 cat h , steam-to-carbon feed ratio (S/C, mol/mol...

Investigation of Sour Natural Gas Decomposition in a Nozzle-type Solar Reactor for Hydrogen Production

CO2 Capture from Natural Gas Combined Cycles

CO2 capture from fossil fuel power plants is increasingly proposed for greenhouse gases emission mitigation. It can be applied to coal power stations (with boiler and steam cycle or with gasification) or to natural gas combined cycles (NGCC). The first case is probably the most important in a mid-term perspective, due to: (i) the larger amount of avoided carbon per unit of electricity produced,...

Simulation of Bioreactors for PHB Production from Natural Gas

Recently, many economic studies of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) PHB production on an industrial scale, and the impact of replacing petrochemical polymers by PHB were carried out, clearly indicating that the most crucial factors to reduce the cost of producing biopolymers are allotted to the application of microbial production strains capable of high productivi...

Carbon Dioxide Capture and Hydrogen Purification from Synthesis Gas by Pressure Swing Adsorption

Global warming has become more and more serious, which is caused by greenhouse gases. Cutting down the emission of CO2 has already become one of the major research target in the world. This study utilized a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) process to separate high-purity hydrogen and to capture CO2 from synthesis gas, which is the effluent stream of water-gas-shift reactor. The purified H2 can b...
