In recent years, new concepts to produce hydrogen by methane SR have been proposed to improve the performance in terms of capital costs reducing with respect to the conventional process. In particular, different forms of in situ hydrogen separation, coupled to reaction system, have been studied to improve reactant conversion and/or product selectivity by shifting of thermodynamic positions of reversible reactions towards a more favourable equilibrium of the overall reaction under conventional conditions, even at lower temperatures. Several membrane reactors have been investigated for methane SR in particular based on thin palladium membranes [14]. More recently, the sorption-enhanced steam methane reforming (Se-SMR) has been proposed as innovative method able to separate CO2 in situ by addition of selective sorbents and simultaneously enhance the reforming reaction [15].

Moreover, the sorption-enhanced steam methane reforming (SE-SMR) process has been proposed to reduce CO2 and CO to a low level and produce almost pure hydrogen [21], which is used as a fuel feed to an MCFC anode. The novel electricity-generation system proposed, which can operate at lower energy consumption and with an almost pure hydrogen feed, is helpful for the performance and lifetime of the MCFC.

More recently, Solsvik and Jakobsen [140] performed a numerical study comparing several closures for mass diffusion fluxes of multicomponent gas mixtures the Wilke, Maxwell-Stefan, dusty gas, and Wilke-Bosanquet models, on the level of the single catalyst pellet and the impacts of the mass diffusion flux closures employed for the pellet, on the reactor performance. For this investigation, the methanol synthesis operated in a fixed packed bed reactor was the chemical process adopted. In the mathematical modeling study of a novel combined catalyst/sorbent pellet. Rout et al. [121] investigated the performance of the sorption-enhanced steam methane reforming (SE-SMR) process at the level of a single pellet. Different closures...

Chao [21] and Chao et al. [20, 22, 23] made a three-fluid model for a binary particle system with an interstitial gas to simulate particle segregation due to size and weight differences between the two particle types. The first part of the work considered a cold flow study of a binary particle mixture. Later, Chao [21] and Chao et al. [24] made a three-fluid model for a reactive binary particle system with a multi-component interstitial gas. The process investigated was sorption-enhanced steam methane reforming (SE-SMR) which is steam methane reforming (SMR) and a gas-solid adsorption reaction CO2 capture process.
