  Abstract

Commercial catalyst (Cu-Zn/AI2O3, Johnson Matthey Co., 83-3 Catalyst) was applied to the hydrogen production by steam reforming of methanol in the micro-channel reactor (MCR). The steam reforming of methanol was tested over Cu-Zn catalyst at temperatures in the range of 200 and 300 ℃, the catalyst size of 0.05~2.2 mm, the space velocity of 3,000~10,000 hr^(-1) in a fixed bed continuous flow reactor. The conversion of methanol and the yield Hz preferred high temperatures and low space velocities, and had optimal results with the particle size of 0.35 mm. Based on the results from experiments with fixed bed reactor, two types of MCR, boat bed and stacked bed MCRs, were studied. The stacked bed type MCR showed better methanol conversion compared with the boat type one.
