Steam reforming of propane over Ni-K/CeO2-Al2O3 catalyst in fluidized- and fixed-bed reactors under low steam to propane ratio
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Fluidized bed was employed to investigate propane steam reforming over Ni-K/CeO2-Al2O3 catalyst. The catalyst was characterized by XRD, SEM, TG/DTA, and N2 adsorption-desorption tests. Effects of promoters, space velocity, temperature, and steam/propane (S/C) ratio on propane conversion, H2 yield, H2/CO ratio, and stability were studied and discussed. The experiments were carried out under conditions which favored coke formation. The reaction in the fluidized bed was compared with the reaction in a conventional fixed bed reactor. Obtained results indicated that fluidization and continuous circulation of catalyst induced back-mixing phenomena, increasing contact rate between catalysts and feed, uniform distribution of temperature, and steam concentration. As a result, higher conversion, H2 yield, and significant suppression of coke deposition were observed in the fluidized bed at all of the experimental conditions. The fluidized bed catalyst also exhibited good regenerability by restoring its initial catalytic activity after one h of regeneration in air. It was shown that fluidization could compensate for the lack of water and enhance coke gasification. At S/C=3, the catalytic performance in both reactors was almost stable. With decreasing S/C to 2.5, the activity in the fixed bed decreased rapidly. While the stability was more pronounced in the fluidized bed. At S/C=1.5, the catalyst at both reactors deactivated fast due to the lower H/C ratio, massive coke formation, and poor fluidization.

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...
متن کاملBiomass steam-reforming in a low throughput fluidized bed reactor
This work presents the results from biomass gasification tests in a low throughput fluidized bed membrane reactor (FBMR) and compares them with two-phase model predictions. The operating temperature was decreased to 550C, while an equimolar steam/cellulose ratio was used. The profiles of kinetics limitation and biomass conversion were analysed when a palladium (Pd) membrane for hydrogen separat...
متن کاملOptimization of the preparation procedure of Ni/Al2O3 catalyst for steam reforming of n-butane
Performance of Ni/Al2O3 catalysts (10 wt.% Ni) in steam reforming of n-butane was investigated in terms of n-butane conversion, selectivity to hydrogen and hydrogen yield. The process was carried out in a fixed-bed tubular reactor at 650 °C and atmospheric pressure. The volumetric flow rates of n-butane and steam were 0.1 mL/min and 0.6 mL/min, respectively. The catalysts were prepared by preci...

In this study, thermochemical biomass gasification was performed on a bench-scale fluidized-bed gasifier with steam and air as fluidizing and oxidizing agents. Distillers grains, a non-fermentable byproduct of ethanol production, were used as the biomass feedstock for the gasification. The goal was to investigate the effects of furnace temperature, steam to biomass ratio and equivalence ratio o...
متن کاملCeramic microreactors for on-site hydrogen production from high temperature steam reforming of propane.
The steam reforming of hydrocarbon fuels is a promising method for the production of hydrogen for portable electrical power sources. A suitable reactor for this application, however, must be compatible with temperatures above 800 degrees C to avoid coking of the catalytic structures during the reforming process. Here, ceramic microreactors comprising high surface area, tailored macroporous SiC ...
