Sustainable Hydrogen Production by Catalytic Bio-Ethanol Steam Reforming

Optimization of Semiregenerative Catalytic Naphtha Reforming Unit to Enhance Octane Number and Reformate Yield

Catalytic naphtha reforming is one of the most important processes in which, low quality naphtha is converted into high octane motor gasoline. In this study, a mathematical model was developed and was used for investigation the effect of temperature, pressure, hydrogen to hydrocarbon ratio on the octane number, the yield of product and the undesirable phenomena of coke deposition in a semiregen...

Sustainable hydrogen production via reforming of bio-oil model compounds using a novel spouted bed reactor

Hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources can present significant environmental benefits as an alternative to fossil fuels or as a means for clean power generation via fuel cells. The aqueous fraction of bio oil can be used as a source for hydrogen production, if reformed in the presence of active catalytic materials. Recently, we introduced the concept of the spouted bed reactor for the ...

Cyclic Regeneration of Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 Nano Crystalline Catalyst of Methanol Steam Reforming for Hydrogen Production in a Micro-Fixed-Bed Reactor

Hydrogen can be produced for fuel cell applications by using methanol steam reforming reaction. In this article, a method was developed for regeneration of accelerated deactivated methanol-steam-reforming catalyst. Successive deactivation–regeneration cycles were studied in a 250 hours test for the first time including 6 regeneration cycles. It is shown that regeneration of the catalyst in ...

Engineering Scale up of Renewable Hydrogen Production by Catalytic Steam Reforming of Peanut Shells Pyrolysis Products

Renewable hydrogen may be produced in the near term at a cost that is competitive with natural gas reforming by integrating hydrogen production with existing industrial utilization of agricultural residues. A team of government, industrial, and academic organizations is developing a steam reforming process to be demonstrated on the gaseous byproducts from a process for making activated carbon f...
