The aim of this work is to study from an experimental point of view the oxidative steam reforming of methanol by investigating the behaviour of a dense Pd/Ag membrane reactor (MR) in terms of methanol conversion as well as hydrogen production. The main parameters considered are the operating temperature and the O-2/CH3OH feed ratio. This is a pioneer work in the application of MR to this kind of reaction, whose goal should be to produce a CO-free hydrogen stream suitable for hydrogen fuel cell applications. The experimental results show that the MR gives methanol conversions higher than traditional reactors (TRs) at each temperature investigated, confirming the good potential of the membrane reactor device for this interesting reaction system.
