To check the feasibility of SMART(Steam Methane Advanced Reforming Technology) system, an experimental investigation was performed. A fluidized bed reactor of diameter 0.052m was operated cyclically up to 10th cycle, alternating between reforming and regeneration conditions. FCR-4 catalyst was used as the reforming catalyst and calcined limestone(domestic, from Danyang) was used as the $CO_2$ absorbent. Hydrogen concentration of 98.2% on a dry basis was reached at $650^{\circ}C$ for the first cycle. This value is much higher than $H_2$ concentration of 73.6% in the reformer of conventional SMR (steam methane reforming) condition. The hydrogen concentration decreased because the $CO_2$ capture capacity decreased as the number of cycles increased. However, the average hydrogen concentration at 10th cycle was 82.5% and this value is also higher than that of SMR. Based on these results, we could conclude that the SMART system can replace SMR system to generate pure hydrogen without HTS (high tempeature shift), LTS (low temperature shift) and $CO_2$ separation process.

석탄이용 무공해 발전공정의 핵심기술인 탄화공정을 개발하기 위하여, 본 공정의 주반응인 메탄 수증기 개질에 대한 특성을 조사하였다. 개질촉매를 이용한 메탄수증기 개질에서는 공간속도, 수증기/탄소-비, 압력에 대한 영향을 조사하였다. 공간속도 7,000$hr^{-1}$ 이하에서 평형 전화율을 얻었다. 혼성반응으로 구성된 탄화공정 중 메탄 수증기 개질 반응조건인 700~80$0^{\circ}C$, 수증기/탄소-비 2.5~3에서 생성물 조성분포는 상압에서 수소 75~78%, 이산화탄소 8~10%, 1~30기압에서 수소 60~78%, 이산화탄소 9~11%를 얻었다.

본 연구에서는 상용 니켈-알루미나 촉매를 이용한 메탄가스-수증기 개질반응에서의 고유반응속도 상수를 결정하였다. 반응메커니즘을 반영하기 위해 Langmuir-Hinshelwood chemisorption 이론에 기반한 반응속도식을 사용하였고 반응온도($630{\sim}750^{\circ}C$) 및 반응물의 분압(S/C ratio = 2.7~3.5)을 실험변수로 설정하였다. 실험을 통해 얻어진 데이터를 기반으로 효율적인 최적화 알고리즘을 이용하여 최적 고유반응속도상수들을 결정하였다. 최종적으로 제안된 이 수학적 반응 모델은 촉매반응기의 설계 및 운전조건 최적화에 활용 가능하다.

Popular techniques for producing synthesis gas by converting methane include steam reforming and catalyst reforming. However, these are high temperature and high pressure processes limited by equipment, cost and difficulty of operation. Low temperature plasma is projected to be a technique that can be used to produce high concentration hydrogen from methane. It is suitable for miniaturization and for application in other technologies. In this research, the effect of changing each of the following variables was studied using an AC Glidarc system that was conceived by the research team: the gas components ratio, the gas flow rate, the catalyst reactor temperature and voltage. Glidarc plasma reformer was consisted of 3 electrodes and an AC power source. And air was added for the partial oxidation reaction of methane. The result showed that as the gas flow rate, the catalyst reactor temperature and the electric power increased, the methane conversion rate and the hydrogen concentration also increased. With $O_2/C$ ratio of 0.45, input flow rate of 4.9 l/min and power supply of 1 kW as the reference condition, the methane conversion rate, the high hydrogen selectivity and the reformer energy density were 69.2%, 36.2% and 35.2% respectively.

고온의 태양열을 저장하기 위한 한 방편으로 화학반응을 이용한 태양에너지의 화학에너지로의 변환공정을 고려하였다. 태양에너지의 저장은 메탄의 수증기 개질반응으로 선정하였으며, 이 흡열반응에서 메탄의 전화율 특성을 살펴보았다. 반응기는 직경, 6.25 mm, 그리고 길이 30 cm 인 stainless steel을 코일형태로 제작하였다. 반응온도 범위내에서 메탄의 전화율은 반응온도에 따라서 선형적으로 증가하였으며 반응온도 $500^{\circ}C{\sim}900^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 메탄의 전화율은 약 $60%{\sim}90%$ 로 측정되었다. 이 실험을 통하여 태양열 저장을 위한 메탄의 수증기 개질반응의 타당성을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 제조된 Ni/Ce_xZr_1-xO₂ 촉매를 허니컴 구조의 금속 모노리스 구조체 표면에 코팅하여 수증기 메탄 개질 반응에 대한 활성을 연구하였다. Ce/Zr의 비율을 달리한 지지체를 합성하여 수증기 메탄 개질 반응에서의 거동을 확인하였으며, Ni 함량이 촉매 활성에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 다양한 Ni 함량의 촉매를 제조하였다. 촉매의 특성은 XRD, BET, TPR 및 SEM으로 분석하였으며 TPR 분석에서 활성 금속 Ni이 CeO₂-ZrO₂ 혼합물 지지체와 강한 상호작용으로 Ni-Ce-Zr 산화물을 형성하였음을 나타내었다. 15 wt% Ni/Ce_0.80Zr_0.20O₂ 촉매는 수증기 메탄 개질 반응에서 가장 높은 활성 및 안정성을 보였다. 우수한 산소저장 및 공여 특성의 CeO₂와 열적 특성의 ZrO₂를 복합소재로 제조하여 활성과 안정성이 향상된 촉매를 합성하였다.

Numerical simulation of the natural gas steam reforming process for on-site hydrogen production in a $H_2$ fueling station was conducted on the basis of process material and heat balances. The effects of reforming parameters on the process efficiency of hydrogen production were investigated, and set-point values of each of the parameters to minimize the sizes of unit process equipments and to secure a stable operability of the reforming process were suggested. S/C ratio of the reforming reactants was found to be a crucial parameter in the reforming process mostly governing both the hydrogen production efficiency and the stable operability of the process. The operation of the process was regarded to be stable if the feed water(WR) as a reforming reactant could evaporate completely to dry steam through HRSG. The optimum S/C ratio was 3.0 where the process efficiency of hydrogen production was maximized and the stable operability of the process was secured. The optimum feed rates of natural gas(NGR) and WR as reforming reactants and natural gas(NGB) as a burner fuel were also determined for the hydrogen production rate of $27\;Nm^3/h$.

Nickel fiber mat was investigated as a potential structured catalyst for steam reforming of biogas in the temperature range of $600-700^{\circ}C$. The activity of as-received catalyst was very low owing to the smooth surface of fibers. Pretreatment of the catalyst by oxidation followed by reduction under methane partial oxidation condition significantly improved the catalytic activity, although degradation of the activity was found during the reaction due to oxidation and sintering. This deactivation was retarded by supplying additional hydrogen in the inlet gases or by coating $CeO_2$ over the catalyst surfaces.
