Computational fluid dynamics study of the dry reforming of methane over Ni/Al2O3 catalyst in a membrane reactor. Coke deposition
This work investigates the dry reforming of CH4 as an important process for the conversion of greenhouse gases to synthesis gas. The paper is an attempt to numerically analyse by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) the coking and gasification mechanisms in the lab-scale membrane module with a fixed-bed supported nickel catalyst (Ni/Al2O3).
Dry reforming of biogas in fluidized bed: Process intensification
This work combines a catalytic reaction, a separation and the catalyst regeneration in a single reactor. To this end, a two zone fluidized bed reactor with hydrogen selective membranes has been employed.
