Abstract (EN):
Steam reforming technology integrating a membrane reactor and/or CO2 capture for H2 production from olive mill wastewater (OMW) was developed. The objective is to use a multifunctional reactor combining OMW reforming (using a stable/active catalyst) and the simultaneous products removal from the reaction zone in a single device: H2 through an H2-selective membrane and CO2 through a CO2 sorbent. Thus, the benefits of using different multifunctional reactors (sorption-enhanced reactor (SER), membrane reactor (MR) and sorption-enhanced membrane reactor (SEMR)), comparatively to the traditional reactor (TR), were assessed in this work in terms of H2 production through the steam reforming of OMW (OMWSR). Using a SEMR, an H2 yield enhancement of ¿ 44 % was observed compared to the TR - H2 production of ¿ 11.5 molH2/molOMW in the SEMR. © 2022 Proceedings of WHEC 2022 - 23rd World Hydrogen Energy Conference: Bridging Continents by H2.
