Processes and technologies to produce hydrogen synergistically by the nuclear-heated steam reforming reaction of fossil fuels are reviewed. Formulas of chemical reactions, required heats for reactions, saving of fuel consumption, reduction of carbon dioxide emission, and possible processes are investigated for such fossil fuels as natural gas, petroleum and coal.
In this investigation, examined are the steam reforming processes using the “membrane reformer” and adopting the recirculation of reaction products in a closed loop configuration. The recirculation-type membrane reformer process is considered to be the most advantageous among various synergistic hydrogen production processes. Typical merits of this process are; nuclear heat supply at medium temperature around 550°C, compact plant size and membrane area for hydrogen production, efficient conversion of a feed fossil fuel, appreciable reduction of carbon dioxide emission, high purity hydrogen without any additional process, and ease of separating carbon dioxide for future sequestration requirements.
The synergistic hydrogen production using fossil fuels and nuclear energy can be an effective solution in this century for the world which has to use fossil fuels to some extent, according to various estimates of global energy supply, while reducing carbon dioxide emission. 相似文献
A statistical model is presented that characterizes the joint action of similar compounds when the response variable is continuous. The model allows for antagonistic and synergistic as well as similar joint (additive) action of compounds. It also allows for differential potencies in the compounds. A method of statistical analysis using nonlinear regression analysis is presented along with sample SAS code for carrying it out. An efficient experimental design is given in the form of a set of mixture combinations. Two generalizations of the model are discussed. An example is presented relating the joint action of ferulic and vanillic acids to the growth of cucumber seedlings.Paper No. 11878 of the Journal Series of the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service, Raleigh, North Carolina 27695-7601.

The discovery of new corrosion inhibition systems remains dependent on experimental methods for screening and characterization. This paper examines a new method to rapidly assess aluminium alloy corrosion and inhibitor performance through quantification of aluminium ion concentration using fluorometric probes. The fluorometric probes, lumogallion and morin, were used in conjunction with a plate reader to rapidly assess fourteen corrosion inhibitors and their combinations for AA2024-T3. AA2024-T3 wire electrodes were exposed to 3.4 mM total inhibitor concentration in 0.6 M NaCl adjusted to pH 2, 4, 7, 10, and 12 for 1-7 days. Corrosion inhibition provided by mixtures of lanthanum and molybdate, cerium and molybdate, and metavanadate with phosphate was found to be superior to the equivalent concentration of sodium chromate. 相似文献
