A protonic ceramic membrane reactor for the production of hydrogen from coal steam gasification

TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility of producing and simultaneously separating hydrogen from coal steam gasification (CSG) in a protonic ceramic membrane reactor (PCMR) is demonstrated, where saturated steam was fed over a mixture of powdered carbon black and K2CO3 gasification catalyst, which was in contact with the Cu anode.

Modeling of high-temperature treatment of wood using the reaction engineering approach (REA)

TL;DR: Results indicate that the REA coupled with the heat balance describes both moisture content and temperature profiles during the heat treatment very well, and the current model is highly comparable in accuracy with the complex models.
