PP-II-28CATALYTIC SYSTEMS OF HYDROGEN PRODUCTION FOR FUEL-CELLS WITH A REMOVAL OF CARBON DIOXIDE FROM GASMIXTURE IN SITULukyanov B.N., Lysikov A.I., Okunev A.G.Boreskov Institute of Catalysis SB RAS, Prosp. Akad. Lavrentieva, 5,Novosibirsk 630090, RussiaCatalytic production of hydrogen from hydrogen-containing sources such aswater, natural gas, oil, coal, biomasses, timber, and industrial waste is promising forfuel-cell based power generation [1,2]. Utilization of hydrogen permits one to avoidthe problem of direct electrification, which is accompanied by large electric lossesand impossibility of energy storage. Besides, hydrogen recovery provides no harmfulsubstances as methane or carbonic acid exhausts. The value of hydrogen energy permass unit (120.7 MJ kg –1 ) is higher than those of the known organic fuels. Note thatthe hydrogen meant for fuel cells including a proton-exchange membrane shouldhave high purity grade and СO concentration not higher than 10 ppm.In this report the main catalytic processes and types of fuels used in hydrogenproduction for fuel cells are described. The main attention paid to the single-stepfixed bed sorption enhanced reforming (FBSER) as a primary method of hydrogenproduction. FBSER include a simultaneous reforming of hydrocarbon fuel and asorption of side product - CO 2 [3-5]. The types of adsorptive reactors which used in apressure and thermal swing or membrane separating systems are observed. Thedescription of new regenerative membrane systems as Hybrid Adsorbent-MembraneReactor (HARM) and Air Revitalization System (ARS) which used in space flights aregiven. The different aspects of FBSER including it a technical realization in reactorswith moving or fixed beds are analyzed. The high-temperature CO 2 sorbents andcatalysts used in adsorptive reactors are observed. It was shown that the syntheticporous Ca-based sorbents have a high dynamic capacity which is stable in sorptionenhancedreforming. The prospects of FBSER in hydrogen energy are analyzed. Thework includes more than 90 references.References[1]. Ogden D., Great Expectations. // V mire nauki, 2007 Vol. 1. P.69 (in Russian).[2]. Methanol or Hydrogen.
