Study of methanol steam reforming and ethanol conversion in conventional and membrane reactors
Research results for methanol steam reforming and ethanol conversion in a conventional and a membrane reactor in the presence of Ru-Rh/DND, LiZr2(PO4)(3), and Li1.1Zr1.9In0.1(PO4)(3) catalysts have been described. The samples have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and the BET method. The study of the catalytic properties of the catalyst composites has shown that the Ru-Rh/DND catalyst mostly mediates the dehydrogenation process, while LiZr2(PO4)(3) and Li1.1Zr1.9In0.1(PO4)(3) exhibit activity in both the dehydration and dehydrogenation reactions. The membrane process with a Pd-Ru alloy membrane provides a 20% increase in the hydrogen yield.
