摘要：

Ammonia decomposition was studied in a multifunctional catalytic membrane reactor filled with Ruthenium catalyst and equipped with palladium-coated membranes. To characterize the system we measured NH3 conversion, H-2 yield and its partial pressure, the internal and external temperatures of the reactor shell and the electric consumption under several NH3 flow and pressure conditions. Experimental results showed that the combined effect of Ruthenium catalyst and palladium membranes allowed the reaction to reach the equilibrium in all the conditions we tested. At 450 degrees C the ammonia conversion resulted the most stationary, while at 7 bar the hydrogen yield was almost independent of both the ammonia flow and temperature. In addition, the experimental system used in this work showed high values of NH3 conversion and H-2 permeation also without heating the ammonia tank and therefore renouncing to control the feeding gas pressure. When ultrapure hydrogen is needed at a distal site, a reactor like this can be considered for in situ hydrogen production. Copyright (C) 2014, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC.
