Hydrogen can be stored and distributed by injecting into existing natural grids, then, at the user site separated used in different applications. The conventional technology for hydrogen separation is pressure swing adsorption (PSA). recent NREL study showed extraction cost separating from a 10% H2 stream with recovery of 80% around 3.3–8.3 US$/kg. In this document, new system configurations low concentration gas grid combining novel membrane-based hybrid technologies will described detail....
This work reports the integration of thin (∼3–4 μm thick) Pd-based membranes for H2 separation in a fluidized bed catalytic reactor ethanol auto-thermal reforming. The performance membrane has been investigated from an experimental and numerical point view. demonstration technology carried out over 50 h under reactive conditions using 5 alumina-supported 3 wt%Pt-10 wt%Ni catalyst deposited on mixed CeO2/SiO2 support. results have confirmed feasibility concept, particular capacity to reach...
Membrane reactors for hydrogen production can increase both the efficiency at small scale and electric in micro-cogeneration systems when coupled with Polymeric Electrolyte fuel cells. This paper discusses achievements of three European projects (FERRET, FluidCELL, BIONICO) which investigate application membrane reactor concept to using natural gas biofuels (biogas bio-ethanol) as feedstock. The membranes, used selectively separate from other reaction products (CH4, CO2, H2O, etc.), are...
This paper reports the findings of a FP7 project (DEMCAMER) that developed materials (catalysts and membranes) new processes for four industrially relevant reaction processes. In this project, active, stable, selective catalysts were systems interest their production scaled up to kg scale (TRL5 (TRL: Technology Readiness Level)). Simultaneously, membranes gas separation developed; in particular, dense supported thin palladium-based hydrogen from reactive mixtures. These successfully TRL4...
Abstract The biomass-to-liquid (BtL) process is a promising technology to obtain clean, liquid, second-generation biofuels and chemicals. BtL process, which comprises several steps, based upon the gasification of biomass catalytic transformation syngas that obtained via Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) reaction, producing hydrocarbon pool known as syncrude. FTS well-established technology, there are currently very large plants operating worldwide produce liquid fuels hydrocarbons from natural...
