A '''methanol refomer''' is a device used in [[chemical engineering]], especially in the area of [[fuel cell]] technology, which can produce pure [[hydrogen]] gas and [[carbon dioxide]] by reacting a [[methanol]] and [[water]] (steam) mixture.
This is a preview for the new '''MathML rendering mode''' (with SVG fallback), which is availble in production for registered users.

== Technology ==
Registered users will be able to choose between the following three rendering modes:
A mixture of water and methanol with a molar [[concentration]] ratio (water:methanol) of 1.0&nbsp;-&nbsp;1.5 is pressurized to approximately 20 [[bar (unit)|bar]], vaporized and heated to a temperature of 250&nbsp;-&nbsp;360&nbsp;[[Celsius|°C]]. The hydrogen that is created is separated through the use of [[Pressure swing adsorption]] or a [[hydrogen-permeable membrane]] made of [[polymer]] or a [[palladium]] alloy.


There are two basic methods of conducting this process.
'''MathML'''
* The water-methanol mixture is introduced into a tube-shaped reactor where it makes contact with the catalyst. Hydrogen is then separated from the other [[reagent|reactants]] and products in a later chamber, either by pressure swing adsorption (PSA), or through use of a membrane where the majority of the hydrogen passes through. This method is typically used for larger, non-mobile units.
:<math forcemathmode="mathml">E=mc^2</math>
* The other process features an integrated reaction chamber and separation membrane, a [[membrane reactor]]. In this, relatively new approach, the reaction chamber is made to contain high-temperature, hydrogen-permeable membranes that can be formed of [[refractory metals]], palladium alloys, or a PdAg-coated [[ceramic]]. The hydrogen is thereby separated out of the reaction chamber as the reaction proceeds, This purifies the hydrogen and, as the reaction continues, increases both the reaction rate and the amount of hyrogen extracted.


With either design, not all of the hydrogen is removed from the product gases (raffinate). Since the remaining gas mixture still contains a significant amount of chemical energy, it is often mixed with air and burned to provide heat for the endothermic reforming reaction.

== Advantages and disadvantages ==
'''source'''
Methanol reformers are being considered as a component of a hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicle. A prototype car, the [[Mercedes-Benz NECAR|NECAR 5]], was introduced by [[Daimler-Chrysler]] in the year 2000. The primary advantage of a vehicle with a reformer is that it does not need a pressurized gas tank to store hydrogen fuel; instead methanol is stored as a liquid. The logistic implications of this are great; pressurized hydrogen is difficult to store and produce. Also, this could help ease the public's concern over the danger of hydrogen and thereby make fuel cell powered vehicles more attractive. However, methanol, like [[gasoline]], is toxic and (of course) flammable. The cost of the PdAg membrane and its susceptibility to damage by temperature changes provide obstacles to adoption.

Another problem is that although hydrogen power produces energy without CO<sub>2</sub>, a methanol reformer creates the gas as a byproduct. The high level of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere significantly contributes to [[global warming]].
