Nickel aluminide coating as catalyst in steam methane reforming microreactor

The catalyst deposition in microreactor for steam methane reforming (SMR) on a micro-scale poses new opportunities due to lack of literatures. Using plate-type catalyst as a basis, a foundation work on the preparation and analysis of catalyst deposition, specifically by dip coating (DC) method was c...

Nickel aluminide coating as catalyst in steam methane reforming microreactor
description The catalyst deposition in microreactor for steam methane reforming (SMR) on a micro-scale poses new opportunities due to lack of literatures. Using plate-type catalyst as a basis, a foundation work on the preparation and analysis of catalyst deposition, specifically by dip coating (DC) method was conducted. This study which to deposit nickel aluminide catalyst on stainless steel 304 (SS304) substrate plates with different roughness and DC withdrawal speed has been conducted. Analysis of calcination temperatures on nickel aluminide thin film, followed by characterization of nickel aluminide thin film, then tested with SMR yield were performed. The studied parameters used DC withdrawals speed of 40, 80, 120, 160 and 200 mm/min. Next, calcination temperatures of 300, 400, 500 and 600°C for 90 minutes each were tested. All deposited substrates were characterized using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). Polished substrate produced average surface roughness 0.18, 0.13 and 0.09 μm.
