METHANOL-STEAM REFORMER

摘要

Hydrogen is produced in a compact methanol-steam reformer, which integrates an inner cylindrical heating chamber; and a reactant vaporizer an d heating zone, and an outer Cu/ZnO/AI2O3 catalyst bed in concentric annuli around the heating chamber. Tubular, palladium-silver alloy membranes in the cataly st bed separate hydrogen from retentate gas, which is separately discharged from th e apparatus through a manifold.
