Abstract (EN):
New global policies on energy production are leading to stringent process optimization and development. Attending to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, new processes and new fuels are under research and hydrogen is envisioned as the fuel of the future. A discussion on steam methane reforming combined with in-situ CO2 removal for increased hydrogen production covers the need for very high temperatures to obtain reasonable methane conversions; energy demands of the process; removal of products from the reaction media; adsorption of CO2 on hydrotalcite; and the use of a large pore Ni-based catalyst for steam methane reforming. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 2006 AIChE Spring National Meeting (Orlando, FL 4/23-27/2006).
