Abstract
A micro catalytic combustor was studied as a heat source for micro scale endothermic reactor, which is made from inserting sintered Ni micro-fiber entrapped fine particulates Pt/Al2O3 catalyst in a millimetric scale reaction chamber. The catalytic combustion performance of H2/Air under different experimental conditions and Pt loading has been investigated and the structure and properties of catalysts were characterized. The results showed that the normally highly explosive reaction of H2/air could be conducted in this micro catalytic combustor with inherently safe operation, and over Pt loading would decrease catalytic combustion performance. At 83°C and 2.0 × 105 h-1 with 28.5mol% H2 inlet concentration and 5wt% Pt loading, hydrogen conversion can still be over 92.2%.
