Abstract
A method and device for loading a catalyst into a chamber. The catalyst loading is well suited for production of hydrogen producing microreactors. The catalyst is coated onto a strip which is mountable within the chamber.
Claims8
A microreactor comprising:
- a reaction chamber;
- a combustion chamber;
- a plurality of spaced apart catalyst coated strips within at least one of the reaction chamber and combustion chamber;
- at least one inlet port in the reaction chamber;
- at least one outlet port in the reaction chamber;
- at least one inlet port in the combustion chamber;
- and,
- at least one outlet in the combustion chamber;
- wherein each of the catalyst coated strips further comprises:
- a substantially planar-strip of a base substrate with a mounting means;
- a catalyst support affixed to the base substrate on both sides of the strip;
- and
- a catalyst coated onto the catalyst support.
