Abstract
Herein we describe a multipass Catalytic Static Mixer (CSM) for implementation in on-demand hydrogen generation. The insert is a 3D printed metal scaffold with a catalyst coating containing a multitude of channels and a hollow core for a heater rod. This next generation of CSMs offers higher throughput and increased residence times for applications involving liquid-gas or gas only flow. We have implemented this CSM as an insert in a continuous flow tubular reactor for the dehydrogenation of Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHCs). The catalyst coating is comprised of 5 wt.% Pt/Al2O3 and is used for the dehydrogenation of methylcyclohexane (MCH) to generate hydrogen gas as the model system. This experimental study investigates the thermal profiles of the reactor and validates the potential of the CSM technology in hydrogen generation from LOHCs.
