Abstract

The autothermal reforming of methane to syngas has been carried out in a reactor charged with both a Ni (15 wt%)-Ru (1 wt%)/$Al_2O_3$-MgO metallic monolith catalyst and an electrically-heated convertor (EHC). The standalone type reactor has a start-up time of less than 2 min with the reactant gas of $700^{\circ}C$ fed to the autothermal reactor. The $O_2/CH_4$ and $H_2O/CH_4$ ratio governed the methane conversion and temperature profile of reactor. The reactor temperature increased as the reaction shifted from endothermic to exothermic reaction with decreasing $H_2O/CH_4$ ratio. Also the amount of $CO_2$ in the products increases with increasing $H_2O/CH_4$ ratio due to water gas shift reaction. The 97% of $CH_4$ conversion was obtained and the reactor temperature was maintained $600^{\circ}C$ at the condition of $GHSV=10,000\;h^{-1}$ and feed ratio ($H_2O/CH_4=0.6$ and $O_2/CH_4=0.5$). In this condition, the maximum flow rate of the syngas generated from the reactor charged with 170 cc of the metallic monolith catalyst is $0.94\;Nm^3/h$.

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.
