Steam methane reforming is a major method of hydrogen production. However, this usually suffers from low energy efficiency and high carbon-emission intensity. To solve issue, novel steam-methane-reforming process over Ni-based catalyst in pressurized dual fluidized bed reactor proposed work. A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model for the complex physicochemical was built t...

Dry reforming of methane (DRM) has been investigated under an electronactivated catalytic bed in a thermo-electrical reactor. The main objective of this work was to investigate what the impact of the electrical current on the conversion of methane is. The combination of thermal and electrical energy allowed achieving higher conversions for both reactants at temperatures varying from 850–950°C. ...

Dry reforming of methane for the production of hydrogen and syngas has attracted much attention from both industrial and environmental aspects. The major problem encountered in the application of this process is the rapid deactivation of the catalyst, which is mainly due to coke accumulation and sintering of the catalyst. As an alternative to reduce the coke formation, the combination of CO2 re...

A small-size gasification unit is improved through process optimization to simulate industrial United Gas Improvement Company gasification. It finds that the reaction temperature has important impacts on semicoke catalyzed methane gas mixture. The addition of water vapor can enhance the catalytic activity of reforming, which is due to the fact that addition of water vapor not only removes carbo...
