Resumen:
Catalytic dry reforming is the reaction of carbon dioxide with methane to produce syngas. If the main goal is to produce H2, this reaction can be carried out in two different ways: in a fixed-bed reactor followed by the purification steps, or in a membrane reactor combining the reaction and the purification in a single vessel. In the latter option, the system offers the possibility of overcoming the thermodynamic limitations of this endothermic reaction, allowing the attainment of higher methane conversions at lower temperatures. Dense Pd/Ag membranes exhibit almost 100% selectivity towards hydrogen, so that ultrapure hydrogen could be produced.
