High-grade hydrogen production; Methanol steam reforming; Supported Pd/Al2O3 membrane
In this experimental study, a membrane reactor housing a composite membrane constituted by a thin Pd-layer supported onto Al2O3 is utilized to perform methanol steam reforming reaction to produce high-grade hydrogen for PEM fuel cell applications. The influence of various parameters such as temperature, from 280 to 330 degrees C, and pressure, from 1.5 to 2.5 bar, is analyzed. A commercial Cu/Zn-based catalyst is packed in the annulus of the membrane reactor and the experimental tests are performed at space velocity equal to 18,500 h(-1) and H2O:CH3OH feed molar ratio equal to 2.5:1. Results in terms of methanol conversion, hydrogen recovery, hydrogen yield and products selectivities are given. As a best result of this work, 85% of methanol conversion and a highly pure hydrogen stream permeated through the membrane with a CO content lower than 10 ppm were reached at 330 degrees C and 2.5 bar. Furthermore, a comparison between the experimental results obtained in this work and literature data is proposed and discussed. Copyright (C) 2013, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC.
