Conversion of biomass constituents to hydrogen-rich gas by supercritical water in a microchannel reactor

Creator:

Goodwin, Aaron K.

Abstract:

Microreactors offer high rates of heat transfer able to intensify highly endothermic biomass reforming reactions in supercritical water. In this study, two continuous flow microreactor configurations were used to gasify biomass constituents in supercritical water. The first reactor configuration was a micro diameter stainless steel or Hastelloy tube (508 µm...

Conversion of glucose to hydrogen gas by supercritical water in a microchannel reactor

Creator:

Goodwin, Aaron K.

Abstract:

Glucose was gasified in supercritical water within a microchannel reactor at 650°C 750°C, and 250 bar to yield H2 rich gas with a low concentration of CO. The feed glucose concentration was 0.1 M. Two microchannel reactor configurations were tested at fluid residence times ranging from 0.5 sec to...
