In Situ Catalytic Methanation of Real Steelworks Gases

The by-product gases from the blast furnace and converter of an integrated steelworks highly contribute to today’s global CO2 emissions. Therefore, steel industry is working on solutions utilise these as a carbon source for product synthesis in order reduce amount that released into environment. One possibility conversion CO synthetic natural gas through methanation. This process currently extensively researched, can be directly utilised again, substituting gas. work addresses situ methanation real lab-scaled, three-stage reactor setup, whereby are bottled at plant during normal operation, not further treated, i.e., by separation step. high shares nitrogen present feed Furthermore, due catalyst poisons only pre-cleaned gases, additional gas-cleaning step based CuO-coated activated implemented prevent instant deactivation. Results show that, with filter included, steady state performed without any noticeable deactivation performance.
