Methanol Steam Reformer on a Silicon Wafer [PDF]
A study of the reforming rates, heat transfer and flow through a methanol reforming catalytic microreactor fabricated on a silicon wafer are presented. Packed bed microchannel reactors were fabricated using silicon DRIE, followed by wafer bonding. The reactor bed was subsequently filled with catalyst particles.
