Summary: Process intensification in a membrane reactor is an efficient and compact way to produce hydrogen, with methane conversions approaching 90%. Compared to conventional reactors, membrane reactors can achieve higher conversion rates in a shorter time. However, nitrogen leakage through the membrane may gradually increase during testing due to pinhole formation and leakage through end seals.

Summary: Hydrogen as a green energy source can be produced through methane steam reforming, but traditional methods have limitations in terms of efficiency and cost. Microwave heating could overcome these limitations by efficiently transferring heat to the catalyst, resulting in faster reactions and higher energy efficiency. Initial tests showed promising results, with the system reaching high temperatures and methane conversion rates close to thermodynamic equilibrium values. Future studies will focus on optimizing the microwave reactor to further increase energy efficiency and improve CH4 conversion rates for enhanced hydrogen production.

Summary: In this study, methane steam reforming in a packed bed reactor integrated with a diverging tube was investigated numerically to improve efficiency. The results showed that the integration of a diverging tube led to a reduction in average temperature, a decrease in pressure drop, and an increase in outlet mass flow. Both flow disturbance and thermal resistance increased as the inclination angle rose. The overall heat transfer coefficient was highest at an inclination angle of 3 degrees, increasing by 9.0% compared to a normal packed bed reactor. The integration of a diverging tube improved hydrogen yield, which increased with the inclination angle. Considering catalyst usage, flow loss, and outlet hydrogen mass flow, the highest efficiency of hydrogen production was achieved at an inclination angle of 3 degrees, increasing by 34.0%.

Summary: The use of ammonia as a hydrogen carrier can be improved with the use of a membrane reactor, which allows for ammonia decomposition and hydrogen separation in one device, providing efficiency and compactness advantages. Ceramic-supported double-skinned Pd-Ag membranes have shown excellent performance for hydrogen separation but suffer from sealing and mechanical stability issues. To overcome these limitations, metallic supported Pd-based membranes are suggested. In this study, a Pd-Ag membrane was prepared on a low-cost metallic support and tested for ammonia decomposition in a membrane reactor, achieving high NH3 conversion and H2 recovery rates. These results indicate potential as a substitute for ceramic-supported alternatives.

Summary: This study investigates heat and mass transfer phenomena in a packed bed (membrane) reactor for the direct conversion of CO2 to DME. Intra-particle diffusion limitations and concentration polarization were found to affect the reactor performance. Correlations were developed to account for these phenomena and showed high accuracy in predicting the reaction performance. Other phenomena such as intra-particle heat transfer, particle-fluid mass and heat transfer, and axial dispersion had negligible effects on the reactor behavior. The study proposes reactor optimization strategies based on the observed transfer phenomena.

Summary: The spatial profile of a gliding arc reactor for NO(x) synthesis was analyzed using AC pulsed mode operation. Tests with a duty cycle of 40% or 60% achieved the lowest energy consumption of 6.95 MJ/mol, showing a 15% improvement compared to continuous operation. The reactor was divided into five zones along the arc propagation, with the first and last zones having higher energy consumption and the middle parts showing lower consumption. The analysis of plasma properties indicated nonuniformity, which corresponds to the NO(x) production performance across the reactor. This research provides insights for understanding and optimizing gliding arc reactors for efficient nitrogen fixation.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
