Effect of steam to carbon ratio (S:C) on steam methane reforming’s yield over coated nickel aluminide (Ni3Al) catalyst in micro reactor
This work looks into the effect of Steam to Carbon ratio (S:C) on methane (CH4 ) conversion and hydrogen (H2 ) yield over coated Nickel Aluminide (Ni3 Al) catalyst in micro reactor. The Ni3 Al is an intermetallic alloy which known to have good catalytic activity and selectivity. The Ni3 Al...

| description | This work looks into the effect of Steam to Carbon ratio (S:C) on methane (CH4
) conversion and hydrogen (H2
) yield over
coated Nickel Aluminide (Ni3
Al) catalyst in micro reactor. The Ni3
Al is an intermetallic alloy which known to have good
catalytic activity and selectivity. The Ni3
Al catalyst precursor was prepared through dip coating technique at 10wt% on top
of substrate plate and characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive X-Ray
Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), Temperature Programming Reduction (TPR), activated by H2
reduction, and catalytic activity test
in steam methane reforming (SMR) reaction in micro reactor at S:C 2, S:C 3 and S:C 4 with 650°C reaction temperature
and 300 minutes reaction time. The characterization showed the presence of Ni3
Al on top of the coating surface and
successfully been activated at 500°C and 46 minutes. The CH4 conversion and H2
yield in the product of the reaction were
quantified using the Gas Chromatograph technique. From the series of experiments, it was found that S:C 4 produced the
highest methane conversion of 65.56% and S:C 3 produced the highest hydrogen yield of 41.34%. The S:C 2, showed faster
and smoother stability trend conversion as early as 180 minutes from the start of the reaction. However, S:C 3 showed the
most optimum methane conversion and hydrogen yield and achieved stability trend conversion within the defined reaction
time range of 300 minutes. It is inferred that the S:C 3 is the best steam to carbon ratio for the developed catalyst in these
settings. |
