ResumoMethane steam reforming is the most common industrial process used for almost the 50% of the world’s hydrogen production. Commonly, this reaction is performed in fixed bed reactors and several stages are needed for separating hydrogen with the desired purity. The membrane reactors represent a valid alternative to the fixed bed reactors, by combining the reforming reaction for producing hydrogen and its separation in only one stage. This article deals with the recent progress on methane steam reforming reaction, giving a short overview on catalysts utilization as well as on the fundamentals of membrane reactors, also summarizing the relevant advancements in this field.
