Abstract

Integration of highly active and selective autothermal reforming (ATR), water gas shift, and preferential oxidation catalysts into a thermally integrated, micro-channel reactor system capable of producing 1 kw of H2-rich gas for a proton exchange membrane fuel cell was studied. The catalysts were coated onto microporous Fe-Cr metal alloy foams and placed into microchannels within the thermally integrated reactor system. The ATR performance was stable over the 100 hr long-term stability test and the hydrogen efficiency for the system exceeded 70%. The catalysts and reactors for CO cleanup (water gas shift and preferential oxidation) were described. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the AIChE Annual Meeting (San Francisco, CA 11/12-17/2006).
