Dimethyl ether steam reforming to feed molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFCs)
Thermodynamic consideration for dimethyl ether (DME) steam reforming to evaluate the equilibrium products distributions as a function of temperature, pressure, and H2O/DME molar ratio has been performed. The possibility of using DIME as a feedstock for hydrogen production has been analyzed. Products distributions have been compared for DIME, ethanol, and methanol steam reforming reactions.
