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 ...

the series of mono-metallic and bi-metallic catalysts have been prepared by impregnatingwith solutions containing compound of h2ptc15,nbc15 and lml hc1 (0.1 mol). the activityand selectivity of the catalysts have been determined under conditions at 450-500°c, 15-30atm. molar ratio h2/c7h16=5 and vvh=1.5/h for converting n-heptane. under theseexperimental conditions it has been established that ...
