Use of Pd-Ag Membrane Reactors for Low-Temperature Dry Reforming of Biogas-A Simulation Study.

ABSTRACT: Biogas is a valuable renewable energy source that can help mitigate greenhouse emissions. The dry reforming of methane (DRM) offers an alternative hydrogen production route with the advantage of using two main greenhouse gases, CO₂ and CH₄. However, its real application is limited mainly due to catalyst deactivation by coke formation and the reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reaction that can occur in parallel. Additionally, the typical dry reforming temperature range is 700-950 °C, often leading to catalyst sintering. A low-temperature DRM process could be in principle achieved using a membrane reactor (MR) to shift the dry reforming equilibrium forward and inhibit the RWGS reaction. In this work, biogas reforming was investigated through the simulation of MRs with thin
