Hydrogen Production Via Catalytic Processing Of Renewable Feedstocks

Keywords

Abstract

Landfill gas (LFG) and biogas can potentially become important feedstocks for renewable hydrogen production. The objectives of this work were: (1) to develop a catalytic process for direct reforming of CH4-CO 2 gaseous mixture mimicking LFG, (2) perform thermodynamic analysis of the reforming process using AspenPlus™ chemical process simulator, (3) determine operational conditions for autothermal (or thermoneutral) reforming of a model CH4-CO2 feedstock, and (4) fabricate and test a bench-scale hydrogen production unit. Experimental data obtained from catalytic reformation of the CH4-CO2 and CH4-CO 2-O2 gaseous mixtures using Ni-catalyst were in a good agreement with the simulation results. It was demonstrated that catalytic reforming of LFG-mimicking gas produced hydrogen with the purity of 99.9 vol.%.
