본 연구에서는 메탄으로부터 합성가스를 만드는 자열 개질(Autothermal reforming)반응 특성을 Ni (15 wt%)-Ru (1 wt%)/$Al_2O_3$-MgO 금속모노리스 촉매체와 전기 발열식 촉매를 사용하여 조사하였다. 자체 가동 형 반응기는 자열 개질 반응기에 $700^{\circ}C$ 반응물을 공급하는데 걸리는 start-up 시간이 2분 이내였다. 반응물의 $O_2/CH_4$와 $H_2O/CH_4$ 비가 메탄의 전환율과 반응기의 온도 분포에 미치는 영향은 매우 크다. 반응기의 온도는 $H_2O/CH_4$ 비가 감소할수록 흡열반응에서 발열반응으로 전환되어 증가한다. 또한 $H_2O/CH_4$ 비가 증가함에 따라 수성가스화 전이반응에 의하여 생성물 중에 $CO_2$양이 증가한다. $GHSV=10,000\;h^{-1}$, 반응물 조성($H_2O/CH_4=0.6$과 $O_2/CH_4=0.5$)의 자열 개질반응에서, 97%의 메탄의 전환율을 얻었으며, 반응기의 온도는 $600^{\circ}C$로 유지되었다. 이 반응조건에서 170 cc 금속모노리스 촉매체를 충진한 반응기에서 자열개질 반응으로 생성된 최대 합성가스의 유량은 $0.94\;Nm^3/h$ 이었다.

Ni-Cr-Al metal-foam-supported catalysts for steam methane reforming (SMR) are manufactured by applying a catalytic Ni/Al₂O₃ sol-gel coating to powder alloyed metallic foam. The structure, microstructure, mechanical stability, and hydrogen yield efficiency of the obtained catalysts are evaluated. The structural and microstructural characteristics show that the catalyst is well coated on the open-pore Ni-Cr-Al foam without cracks or spallation. The measured compressive yield strengths are 2-3 MPa at room temperature and 1.5-2.2 MPa at 750℃ regardless of sample size. The specimens exhibit a weight loss of up to 9-10% at elevated temperature owing to the spallation of the Ni/Al₂O₃ catalyst. However, the metal-foam-supported catalyst appears to have higher mechanical stability than ceramic pellet catalysts. In SMR simulations tests, a methane conversion ratio of up to 96% is obtained with a high hydrogen yield efficiency of 82%.

본 논문은 니켈이 담지된 촉매를 이용하여 메탄의 이산화탄소 개질반응에서 발생하는 탄소퇴적의 속도와 반응온도에 따른 카본생성 경로를 연구하였다. 개질 반응이 진행되는 동안 촉매 위에 발생하는 탄소퇴적과 그 속도측정을 위한 반응장치로는 열분석기를 이용하였다. 메탄의 이산화탄소 개질반응에서 반응기체 조성을 달리하여 실험한 결과 코크형성의 반응차수가 1.33($CH_4$)과 -0.52($CO_2$)임을 확인하였다. 또한, 탄소퇴적속도를 이용한 모델식을 근거로 반응온도에 따른 반응속도인자를 계산한 결과 $600^{\circ}C$ 미만에서는 메탄의 분해반응만이 주로 발생하며 $600{\sim}700^{\circ}C$ 사이에서는 메탄의 분해반응과 더불어 이산화탄소 해리반응이 동시에 진행됨을 알았다.

Biomass gasification is a promising technology for producing a fuel gas which is useful for power generation systems. In biomass gasification processes, tar formation often causes some problems such as pipeline plugging. Thus, proper tar treatment is necessary. So far, nickel (Ni)-based catalysts have been intensively studied for the catalytic tar removal. However, the deactivation of Ni-based catalysts takes place because of coke deposition and sintering of Ni metal particles. To overcome these problems, we have been using ruthenium (Ru)-based catalyst for tar removal. It is reported by Okada et al., that a Ru/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst is very effective for preventing the carbon deposition during the steam reforming of hydrocarbons. Also, this catalyst is more active than the Ni-based catalyst at a low steam to carbon ratio (S/C). Benzene was used for the tar model compound because it is the main constituent of biomass tar and also because it represents a stable aromatic structure apparent in tar formed in biomass gasification processes. The steam reforming process transforms hydrocarbons into gaseous mixtures constituted of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$), carbon monoxide (CO), methane ($CH_4$) and hydrogen ($H_2$).

본 연구에서는 바이오디젤 생산의 부산물인 글리세롤로부터 수증기 개질(Steam Reforming, SR) 반응을 통해 수소를 생산하는 공정의 모델링과 모사 및 최적화를 수행했다. 글리세롤을 이용한 수소 생산 방법은 기존의 수소 생산방법인 메탄의 수증기 개질법(Steam Methane Reforming, SMR)을 대체할 수 있는 새로운 방법으로 세계 여러 곳에서 연구가 진행 중이다. 글리세롤과 수증기의 기체 혼합물을 고온의 반응기 내에서 개질시켜 합성가스(CO, $H_2$)를 생산하고, 합성가스에 포함된 일산화탄소를 수성 가스 전화 반응(Water-Gas Shift, WGS)을 통해 수증기와 반응시켜 수소를 생성하고, 최종적으로 Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) 공정을 통하여 이산화탄소와 수소를 분리하여 정제된 수소를 얻는다. 공정시뮬레이션 프로그램인 UniSim을 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 진행하였으며, 열효율 개선을 실시하여 운전 비용을 절감하고자 하였다. 기존 연구인 미국 DOE와 독일 Linde의 글리세롤 이용 수소 생산공정과 수율 비교를 진행하였고, 수소 에너지 인프라 구축에 기여하기 위한 최적의 생산방법을 제안하였다.

We designed a new experimental set-up for measuring activity of heterogeneously catalyzed reactions. Using this set-up, we studied reduction of carbon dioxide by carbon dioxide reforming of methane (CRM) using nickel powder as catalyst. The properties of the catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer, Emmett & Teller (BET) surface area and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. The reactivity experiments were performed in the temperature range of $300\;-\;500^{\circ}C$. At reactivity experiment, result showed consumption of $CO_2$ and $CH_4$ with a 1:1 stoichiometry. At the same time, carbon monoxide and hydrogen were produced, which could be used for synthesizing fuels such as methanol. During the reaction, deposition of carbon on Ni was observed, which caused deactivation of the catalyst.

CH4/CO2 dry reforming was carried out to make syn gas on the Ni/Al2O3 catalysts calcined at different temperatures. The Ni/Al2O3 (850 $^{\circ}C)$ catalyst gave good activity and stability w hereas the Ni/Al2O3 $(450^{\circ}C)$ catalyst showed lower activity and stability. The NiO/Al2O3 catalyst calcined at $850^{\circ}C$ for 16 h (Ni/Al2O3 $(850^{\circ}C))$ formed the spinel structure of nickel aluminate, which was confirmed by TPR. The carbon formation rate on the Ni/Al2O3 $(850^{\circ}C)$ catalyst was very low till 20 h, and then steeply increased with reaction time without decreasing the activity for CH4 reforming. The Ni/Al2O3 $(450^{\circ}C)$ catalyst showed high carbon formation rate at the initial reaction time and then, the rate nearly stopped with continuous decreasing the activity for CH4 reforming. Even though the amount of carbon deposition on the Ni/Al2O3 $(850^{\circ}C)$ catalyst was higher than that on the Ni/Al2O3 $(450^{\circ}C)$ catalyst, the activity for CH4ing was also high, which could be attributed to the different type of the carbon formed on the catalyst surface.

Increasing environmental concerns regarding the use of fossil fuels and global wanning have prompted researcher to investigate alternative fuels. The purpose of this study is to investigate the syngas production by biogas reforming using a compression spark ignition engine. The parametric screening studies were carried out according to the variations of oxygen enrichment rate, biogas $CO_2$ ratio, intake gas temperature, and engine revolution. When the oxygen enrichment rate and input gas temperature increased, hydrogen and carbon monoxide were increased. But the biogas $CO_2$ ratio and engine revolution increased, the syngas were reduced. For the reforming of methane 100% only, generation of hydrogen and carbon monoxide was 58% and 17%, respectively. However when the biogas $CO_2$ ratio was 40%, hydrogen and carbon monoxide concentration were about 20% each.

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), as high-temperature fuel cells, have various advantages. In some merits of SOFCs, high temperature operation can lead to the capability for internal reforming, providing fuel flexibility. SOFCs can directly use CH4 and CO as fuels with sufficient steam feeds. However, hydrocarbons heavier than CH4, such as ethylene, ethane, and propane, induce carbon deposition on the Ni-based anodes of SOFCs. In the case of the ethylene steam reforming reaction on a Ni-based catalyst, the rate of carbon deposition is faster than among other hydrocarbons, even aromatics. In the reformates of heavy hydrocarbons (diesel, gasoline, kerosene and JP-8), the concentration of ethylene is usually higher than other low hydrocarbons such as methane, propane and butane. It is importatnt that ethylene in the reformate is removed for stlable operation of SOFCs. A new methodology, termed post-reforming was introduced for removing low hydrocarbons from the reformate gas stream. In this work, activity tests of some post-reforming catalysts, such as CGO-Ru, CGO-Ni, and CGO-Pt, are investigated. CGO-Pt catalyst is not good for removing ethylene due to low conversion of ethylene and low selectivity of ethylene dehydrogenation. The other hand, CGO-Ru and CGO-Ni catalysts show good ethylene conversion, and CGO-Ni catalyst shows the best reaction selectivity of ethylene dehydrogenation.
