Ethylene Production by ODHE in Catalytically Modified Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3−δ Membrane Reactors

PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN EMPLOYING Ni-Rh CATALYSTS IN MEMBRANE REACTORS

−− Rh, Ni and Rh-Ni catalysts were prepared by wet impregnation of La2O3. The Rh content was modified but the Ni loading was kept constant at 2 wt%. The solids were calcined at 823 K in air flow and were reduced at 973 K in flowing hydrogen. The activity, stability, and residue formation during the CO2 reforming of CH4, of all the catalysts were tested in a fixed-bed reactor. Those with low car...

Reverse Flow Catalytic Membrane Reactors for Energy Efficient Syngas Production

Natural gas is becoming an increasingly important energy source, due to the increasing energy demands and declining oil reserves, whereas large volumes of natural gas are still widely available at remote locations. In view of the existing infrastructure for liquid fuels, natural gas is most efficiently used in the transport sector by converting it to liquid fuels via the Gas-To-Liquid process. ...

Membrane reactors: A way to increase efficiency

Oxidation of Ethylene to Ethylene Oxide by Selenium Modified Silver Catalyst

Oxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide over silver catalyst and selenium modified catalyst has been studied by continuous flow and pulse techniques over the temperature range of 230-280 °C. The results are discussed in terms of reaction mechanisms proposed by others, rejecting mechanisms which involve peroxide formation. It has been shown that not only selectivity towards ethylene oxide pr...

Ethylene production by soil microorganisms.

Ethylene-producing strains of Penicillium cyclopium and P. crustosum were isolated from soil. These isolates produced ethylene on a variety of carbon growth substrates including phenolic acids. The quantities of ethylene produced on the various substrates varied, and the subtrate-ethylene prosuction pattern for P. cyclopium strains differed significantly from that of P. crustosum strains.
