Metal Oxide Based Solar-Driven Two-Step CH4 Reforming and H2O/CO2 Splitting Cycle

摘要

The thermodynamic equilibrium analysis of the solar-driven Tb2O3-based CH4 reforming process is performed. The equilibrium analysis indicates that with the rise in the CH4/Al2O3 molar ratio, formation of Tb and syngas (via methanothermal reduction of Tb2O3) enhances and reaches its maximum at 3100 K in case of CH4/Tb2O3 molar ratio = 3.
