Fuel cells are used to generate electricity with a reformer. In particular, methanol has various advantages among the fuels for reformer. Methanol steam reformer devices can efficiently supply hydrogen to PEM fuel cell. This study investigated the optimal operation conditions of a methanol steam reforming process. For this purpose, aspen HYSYS was used for the optimization of reforming process. The optimal operating condition could be designed by setting independent variables such as temperature, pressure and steam to carbon ratio (SCR). The optimal temperature and steam to carbon ratio were $250-270^{\circ}C$ and 1.3-1.5, respectively. It is advantageous to operate at a pressure of 15-20 barg, considering the performance of the hydrogen purifier. In addition, a heat exchange network was designed to supply heat constantly to reformer through the latent heat of steam.

Methanol is a liquid fuel which could also be produced from renewable energy sources and has appreciably high energy density. In this work, we investigated the application of $Ce_{0.9}Gd_{0.1}O_{2-x}$ supported Cu and Ni catalysts for hydrogen production via methanol steam reforming. Catalysts were synthesized by solution combustion synthesis. The prepared catalysts with various active materials and Cu loading amounts were tested in a reactor at $200-300^{\circ}C$, 0-5 barg range and steam to methanol molar ratio was 1.5. The catalytic properties of Cu and Ni were compared, and the catalytic performance was shown to depend on the amounts of metal loading and operating conditions such as reaction temperature and pressure.

Characteristics of $ZrO_2$ felt supported Cu/Zn catalysts have been investigated for the production of hydrogen via methanol steam reforming. Cu and Zn in different weight percent were loaded using wet impregnation over $ZrO_2$ felt support. The catalysts were characterized with BET and FE-SEM. The performance of these synthesized catalysts were investigated at SCR=1.5, $GHSV=2000h^{-1}$, temperature=$300{\sim}400^{\circ}C$, and pressure=2.5~19.5 barA. The results showed that the $Cu^{32.5}Zn^{7.5}ZrO_2$ catalyst was most active in terms of methanol conversion and hydrogen production. The methanol conversion in steam reforming of methanol was 84.6% at 19.5 barA and furnace $400^{\circ}C$ over $Cu^{32.5}Zn^{7.5}ZrO_2$ catalyst. The catalysts prepared using $ZrO_2$ felt show higher reactor temperature than the pellet type catalyst at same furnace temperature.

메탄올 수증기 개질반응에 대한 적용가능성을 파악하기 위하여 메탄올 합성용 촉매인 ICI-M45와 수성가스 전환반응용 촉매인 MDC-3와 MDC-7을 비교 연구하였다. 또한 수성가스전환 반응에 대한 세 촉매의 비교실험도 수행하였다. 그 결과 MDC-7이 메탄올 수증기 개질반응에서 가장 높은 전화율을 보였으며, $H_2$와 $CO_2$ 생성속도 또한 높게 나타났다. 수성가스 전환반응용 촉매인 MDC-7과 메탄올 합성촉매인 ICI-M45를 이용하여 촉매 충진 방법에 따른 메탄올의 전화율에서의 변화를 살펴본 결과, MDC-7 단독보다 낮은 메탄올의 전화율을 보였다. 수성가스 전환반응에서도 DC- 7, MDC-3, 그리고 ICI-M45의 순으로 반응성이 감소하였다. 상기 두 반응에서 MDC-7이 가장 우수한 이유로는 높은 비표면적과 Cu의 분산도, 그리고 적절한 Cu와 Zn의 비율에 기인함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Hydrogen fuel cell propulsion ships are emerging to respond to the recently strengthened carbon emission regulations in the international shipping sector. Methanol can be stored in a liquid state at normal pressure and temperature, and has the advantage of lower reforming temperature compared to other fuels. In this study, the optimal operating point of the methanol steam reforming system was derived by changing the Steam Carbon Ratio (SCR) from 0.10 to 3.00. Results showed that In terms of methanol conversion rate and hydrogen yield, the larger the SCR is the better, but in terms of system efficiency, it is most advantageous to operate at SCR 0.70 in Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) mode and SCR 0.80 in Pd membrane mode. Through this study, it was found that the optimal SCR in the reformer and the entire system including the reformer may be different, which indicates that the optimum operating point may be different depending on the change of the system configuration.

Kinetic and effectiveness factors for methanol steam reforming using commercial copper-containing catalysts in a plug flow reactor were investigated over the temperature ranges of $180-250^{\circ}C$ at atmospheric pressure. The selectivity of $CO_2$/$H_2$ was almost 100%, and CO products were not observed under reaction conditions employed in this work. It was indicated that $CO_2$ was directly produced and CO was formed via the reverse water gas shift reaction after methanol steam reforming. The intrinsic kinetics for such reactions were well described by the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model based on the dual-site mechanism. The six parameters in this model, including the activation energy of 103kJ/mol, were estimated from diffusion-free data. The significant effect of internal diffusion was observed for temperature higher than $230^{\circ}C$ or particle sizes larger than 0.36mm. In the diflusion-limited case, this model combined with internal effectiveness factors was also found to be good agreement with experimental data.

In methanol steam reforming, commercial catalysts in the form of pellets are mainly used, but there are limitations to directly apply them to underwater weapon systems that require shock resistance and heat transfer characteristics. In this study, to overcome this problem, a multi-layer cup structure (MLCS) was applied to support a pellet type catalyst. The characteristics of pellet catalyst supported by MLCS and the pellet catalyst supported by conventional structure (CS) were compared by the reforming experiment. In the case of MLCS, a high methanol conversion rate was shown in the temperature range 200 to 300℃ relative to the CS manufactured with the same catalyst weight as MLCS. CS shown similar characteristics to MLCS when it manufactured in the same volume as MLCS by adding an additional 67% of the catalyst. In conclusions, MLCS can not only reduce catalyst usage by improving heat transfer characteristics, but also support pellet catalyst in multiple layers, thus improving shock resistance characteristics.

합성가스는 C1화학을 시작하는 반응원료 물질로 최근 DME(dimethyl-ether), 메탄올, GTL(gas to liquid), CTL(coal to liquid), 암모니아 생성 공정 등 많은 화학공정에 사용되고 있다. 합성가스를 생산하는 방법은 천연가스 개질반응과 석탄의 가스화반응, 그리고 원유의 정제 등을 통해 얻을 수 있다. 삼중개질반응은 천연가스와 산소, 수증기, 이산화탄소를 원료로 $1000^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서 반응시켜 합성가스를 생산하며, 균일반응계와 불균일반응계로 이루어져 있다. 균일반응계에서는 천연가스와 산소가 주로 반응하며, 원료로 투입된 대부분의 산소는 균일반응계에서 소모되어 일산화탄소와 이산화탄소를 생성한다. 삼중개질반응의 균일반응계에서는 산소와 천연가스와의 반응으로 많은 발열이 발생하여 전체 반응계의 온도를 유지할 수 있도록 해준다. 본 연구에서는 산소로 인한 삼중개질반응의 온도 조절과 균일반응계의 온도 분포를 위치에 따라 관찰해 보았으며, 실험과 모사를 통해 비교해 보았다.
