| The main objective of this work is to develop an efficient, durable and cost-effective system for the conditioning and clean-up of a variety of commercial hydrocarbon fuels (including sulfurous fuels) into clean gaseous fuels suitable for fuel cell applications. It was demonstrated that two gaseous streams containing CO/CO2-free hydrogen-rich gas ([H2]=90 v.%, balance methane) and synthesis gas (nH2 + mCO) could be produced from gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons via cyclic pyrolysis/gasification process using durable sulfur-resistant Fe-catalyst. The fuel conditioning unit and the solid oxide fuel cell operate at close temperature range (800-900oC) potentially making the integration and thermal management of the entire system relatively easy. |
