Methane temperature

A laboratory cell with volume of 0.007063 cu ft contains 0.03589 lb of methane. Temperature is to be raised to 66°F. Calculate the pressure to be expected. Use van der Waals equation of state. Compare your answer with experimental results of 1500 psia.

The methane temperature before entering the deposition zone is assumed to be too low to activate ary chemical reactions. It is heated to the reaction temperature immediately once it enters the deposition zone.

The effect of type and purity of activated carbon on methanation. Initial methanation temperature is related to element composition of six activated carbon made by different carbon materials, such as coconut shell (ACl), wood sawdust (AC2), peach shell (ACS), apricot shells (AC4), coal(AC5) and graphite (C6) as shown in Table 6.53.223-224... 

The effect of crystal structure of activated carbon on methanation. As mentioned above, the initial methanation temperature of activated carbon derived from coal is more than 500°C and above 600°C for graphite. Although low purity of activated carbon derived from coal, they have strong resist-methanation ability, which indicates the effect of micro-crystal structure on methanation is very significant. The main reason of methanation of activated carbon is the unsaturated dangling bonds of edge carbon atoms, which is confirmed from the crystal structure of carbon materials (Fig. 6.70). ... 

Due to the extremely high bond saturated degree of graphite surface, there cannot occur obviously methanation reaction below 600° C. The methanation degree of activated carbon derived from coal is low and the initial methanation temperature...

R is found that the outlet methane concentrations are very low (beyond the instrument detection limit) for the above catalysts that can be detected when the micro-CH4 at above 500°C. The initial temperature of methanation is higher over 8.9% Ru/AC than that over 1.9% Ru/AC. But initial methanation temperature of the latter has exceeded the operation temperature in industry, which shows that the above catalyst has high stability for methanation. Therefore, methanation is mainly determined on the nature of support, for example the degree of graphitization. The ruthenium content has nearly no influenced on methanation. 

It decreases the initial methanation temperature from 493°C to 475°C. It can be seen from Fig. 6.73 that the initial methanation temperature is increased with the increasing content of Ba. The role gradually weakens after the Ba content reaches 4%. Therefore, the optimum content of Ba is about 4%. It can be seen from Fig. 6.74... 

Rare earth oxide. The inhibition effect of lanthanide oxides on methanation should be obviously due to their high melting points and the low mobihty. It can be seen from Table 6.56 that lanthanum (La), cerimn (Ce) and samarium (Sm) have good ability to inhibit methanation, thereinto Sm is the best, whose initial methanation temperature reaches 534° C. The optimum mole ratio of La/Ru is about 0.5-1.0 (Fig. 6.76) and Sm/Ru= 1 (Fig. 6.77), and the role of increasing content is very small.

The activation energy is 33 kJ mol for forward and 105kJ mol for reverse reaction of the dissociation of H2 on the Fe (110) surface. The activation energy of H2 dissociation is very low, which is a fast step of these processes. It can be seen from Table 6.59 that the effect of hydrogen content on the initial methanation temperature is insignificant, which indicates that the effect of diffusion rate of H2 on surface of activated carbon for methanation is very small. The results where little methane escapes at temperatures above 550°C based on the H2-TPD MS indicates that there has existence of CHx in adsorption process of H2.

Methanator temperatures are between 300 and 400 °C, and the strongly exothermic reactions go almost to completion, leaving behind just a few ppm of oxygen-containing compounds that could act as catalyst poisons.
