Abstract

A small, efficient, lightweight fuel processors based on microfibrous media technologies developed at Auburn University was presented. The glass fiber entrapped ZnO/SiO2 desulfurization sorbents for reformate were prepared and the comparative study of mass transfer has been conducted. Glass fiber entrapped sorbents were also applied in final filters to protect the fuel cell. The microfiber media were able to enhance the external mass transfer thus improved the sorbents performance in the low concentration H2S removal. The mass transfer study of glass fiber entrapped ZnO/SiO2 sorbents showed the combination of these microfiber media nano-dispered ZnO on SiO2 offer a nice solution to the low concentration H2S removal in onsite fuel processor. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the AIChE Annual Meeting and Fall Showcase (Cincinnati, OH 10/30/2005-11/4/2005).
