The present review focuses on the current progress harnessing potential of hydrogen production by Methane Steam Reforming (MSR). First, based prominent literature in last few years, overall research efforts using different feed stocks like ethanol, ammonia, glycerol, methanol and methane is presented. presented data reactor type, operating conditions, catalyst used yield to provide a general ov...

In this study, we investigated the feasibility of anaerobic sewage treatment at extremely low temperatures (4 °C) using two reactor setups: Upflow sludge blanket reactors (UASB) without and with (AnMBRUASB(UF)) a membrane.

Ion–conducting ceramic membranes, such as mixed oxygen ionic and electronic conducting (MIEC) membranes proton–electron (MPEC) have the potential for absolute selectivity specific gases at high temperatures. By utilizing these in membrane reactors, it is possible to combine reaction separation processes into one unit, leading a reduction by–product formation enabling use of thermal effects achi...

( Asymmetric cellulose acetate membranes have been prepared and characterized in the laboratory with a view to use them in membrane bio-reactors. Enzymatic hydrolysis of sucrose has been investigated in a dead-end stirred cell type membrane bio-reactor using these membranes. Effect of different operating variables such as substrate concentration, enzyme loading, flow rate and working volume hav...

Abstract Catalytic membrane reactors have the potential to render process of oxidative coupling methane economically viable. Here, results from operando XRD-CT studies three different catalytic reactors, employing BaCo0.4Fe0.4Zr0.2O3-? (BCFZ) and La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3-? (LSCF) perovskite membranes with Mn-Na-W/SiO2 La-promoted catalysts, are presented. It is shown that synchrotron X-ray tomogr...

This paper summarizes R&D activities and progress at NORAM Engineering and the University of British Columbia (UBC) on preparation and testing of thin palladium-based membranes and their applications. Most of these activities were carried out internally at NORAM, some jointly with UBC and their spin-off company, Membrane Reactor Technology (MRT) through a wide range of projects. Key results out...
