OSTI ID:7275853
A literature survey of methane reforming, partial oxidation, and oxidative coupling reactors and processes has been conducted. Packed bed reactors, membrane reactors, and other novel processes were compared in terms of absolute and specific activity. Of most note in the area of reforming were a Rh contining monolithic reactor for the production of synthesis gas from methane and oxygen, and a Pd membrane reactor for steam reforming. Partial oxidation to formaldehyde or methanol is seen to be best performed homogeneously at elevated pressure in tubular reactors. While no success for partial oxidation has been reported with membrane reactors, several novel reactors including a liquid phase reaction and a rapid quenching technique do show potential.
