Development of a Novel Combined Catalyst and Sorbent for Hydrocarbon Reforming

---

A combined catalyst and sorbent was prepared and utilized for steam reforming methane and
propane in laboratory-scale systems. The material was prepared in the form of small spherical
pellets having a layered structure such that each pellet consisted of a highly reactive lime or
dolime core enclosed within a porous but strong protective shell made of alumina in which a
nickel catalyst was loaded. The material served two functions by catalyzing the reaction of
hydrocarbons with steam to produce hydrogen while simultaneously absorbing carbon dioxide
formed by the reaction. The in situ removal of CO2 shifted the reaction equilibrium toward
increased H2 concentration and production. The concept was proved by using both a thermogravimetric
analyzer and a fixed-bed reactor loaded with the material to reform hydrocarbons.
Tests conducted with the fixed-bed reactor at atmospheric pressure and with temperatures in
the range of 520-650 °C produced a product containing a large concentration of H2 (e.g., 94-96
mol %) and small concentration of CO and CO2. Therefore, the results achieved in a single step
were as good as or better than those achieved in a conventional multistep reaction and separation
process.
