Effects of catalytic bed position on hydrogen production by methane decomposition

COx free hydrogen can be produced by thermal decomposition of methane. Such process is carried out in a fixed bed catalytic reactor. Where heterogeneous catalytic reaction occur when methane come in contact with catalyst bed at a temperature range of 650-900ºC. In this work effect of different cata...

In this work effect of different catalyst bed positions are investigated on the overall methane conversion to hydrogen. Experimental studies are carried out to in a Fixed Bed Reactor at 700oC, by placing a catalyst bed of same porosity µ=0.2 at 25, 50, 75 column height, and at top of reactor.

Highest methane conversion of 85 is found when catalyst bed is placed at 25 column height from bottom.
