NOVELTRENDS IN REFORMING SOUR NATURAL GASFOR HYDROGEN and SYNTHESIS GAS PRODUCTION

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

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...

Plasma reforming of glycerol for synthesis gas production.

Glycerol can be effectively converted to synthesis gas (selectivity higher than 80%) with small amounts of water or no water using plasmas at low temperature and atmospheric pressure, without external heating.

Performance of Biological hydrogen Production Process from Synthesis Gas, Mass Transfer in Batch and Continuous Bioreactors

Biological hydrogen production by anaerobic bacterium, Rhodospirillum rubrum was studied in batch and continuous bioreactors using synthesis gas (CO) as substrate. The systems were operated at ambient temperature and pressure. Correlations available in the literature were used to estimate the gas-liquid mass transfer coefficients (KLa) in batch reactor. Based on experimental results for the con...

Investigation of CO2 and H2O Addition to Natural Gas for Production of Synthesis Gas

General modeling and optimization of syngas production via noncatalytic autothermal partial oxidation of methane are carried out using our developed scientific software which was based on the minimization of total Gibbs energy. In this work, a novel application of the direct search and Newton-Raphson methods was introduced to apply to optimization of a complex chemical reaction. Sensitivity ana...
