Reformation of gasoline

In a model for catalytic reforming of gasoline, cited in problem P2.03.26, some 300 chemical species are identified, broken up in one case into 13 lumps characterized by carbon number and hydrocarbon class. The kinetic characteristics of such lumps are proprietary information.

The focus of this project is to assess the potential impact of on-board storage of hydrogen, rather than on-board reforming of gasoline as a means of supplying fuel to FCVs. The overall risk involved in each of the fuel options for FCVs varies, and the risk may shift from one player in the value chain to another. This risk trade-off is the focus of Phase 3.

The main sources of feedstock for the production of aromatics will continue to be the pyrolysis products of naphtha cracking and coal carbonization, and the catalytic reforming of gasoline fractions. These raw materials will be complemented by catalytic processes to provide aromatics from small aliphatic building blocks. The first attempts along these lines are the Mofe//-MTG-process and the Cyclar process (UOP/BP). In principle, these processes are taking up attempts by Pierre E.M. Berthelot in 1866 to obtain bepzene by trimerization of acetylene.

Chen et al. prepared a catalyst for pre-reforming of gasoline [236]. It was composed of 50 wt.% nickel oxide, 18 wt.% lanthana and the balance alumina. The catalyst was tested at a weight hourly space velocity of between 40 and 168 L (hgcai) at 5-bar pressure and 480 °C reaction temperature. The gasoline surrogate was composed of 74 wt.% isooctane, 20 wt.% xylene, 5 wt.% cyclo-hexane and 1 wt.% 1-octene (average...
