abstract

hydrogen was produced by steam reforming of dimethyl ether (dme) using a physical mixture of commercial hzsm-5 zeolite (for dme hydrolyzing) and cu/zno/al2o3 (for methanol steam reforming) as a catalyst in a fixed bed reactor. the experiments were performed at atmospheric pressure and in a temperature range from 270 to 310 °c. the effects of feed temperature and gas hourly space velocity (ghsv) between 2420 and 4615 h−1 on dme conversion and h2 and co concentrations in the gas-phase products were investigated. in addition, the temperature changes along the catalyst bed were measured. the results showed that dme conversion increased with increasing temperature, and also, dme conversion decreased with increasing ghsv. finally, a homogeneous one-dimensional model was used to model the reactor of hydrogen production by steam reforming of dme. the predicted temperature profile along the catalyst bed and conversion were compared with the experimental data. the model results and experimental data were found to be in good agreement.

Hydrogen Production via Acetic Acid Steam Reforming over HZSM-5 and Pd/HZSM-5 Catalysts and Subsequent Mechanism Studies

Acetic acid (HOAc) was selected as a bio-oil model compound for the steam reforming of bio-oil for hydrogen production. The influence of temperature and steam-to-carbon ratio (S/C) on the steam reforming of HOAc over hydrogen-type Zeolite Socony Mobil-5 (HZSM-5) and the catalyst with added Pd (Pd/HZSM-5) have been investigated in a fixedbed reactor. Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area measureme...

Propene versus propane steam reforming for hydrogen production over Pd-based and Ni-based catalysts

Experiments of propane and propene steam reforming have been performed over a Pd–Cu/c-Al2O3 catalyst and over a Ni/NiAl2O4 catalyst. Over the palladium-based catalyst, the steam reforming of propene is faster and more selective than steam reforming of propane. Over the Pd catalyst, the steam reforming of propane is likely inhibited by site poisoning. In contrast, over Ni-based catalyst the refo...

Hydrogen production via steam reforming of LPG on Ni/Zeolite catalysts

Steam reforming is one of the most important processes for producing hydrogen from hydrocarbon fuels such as LPG and has attracted much attention due to its high efficiency and economy. In this study, the LPG steam reforming reaction was investigated on nickel catalysts supported on four various zeolites (H-Y, Na-Y, HZSM5 and Ferrierite). The catalytic tests were performed in a tubular fixed be...
