Hydrogen and syngas production by dry reforming of fermentation products on porous ceramic membrane-catalytic converters

Regularities of the processes of dry reforming of methane (DRM), ethanol (DRE) and modeling mixture of fermentation products (DRFP) to hydrogen and syngas over Ni-Co-containing porous ceramic membrane-catalytic converters(PCMCC), obtained by self propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS), were studied. The non-additive effect of increasing the catalytic activity in the processes over Ni-Co3O4 (50-50%) PCMCC was discovered. It was shown that in the PCMCC the processes more intensified in comparison to the implementation of the processes in a flow reactor with a fixed bed of granular catalyst of the same composition.
