N2 - Two minimally invasive techniques to resolve species and temperature profiles along a rhodium-containing washcoated monolith during methane partial oxidation were presented. Spatially Resolved Capillary Inlet Mass Spectrometer (SpaciMS) was used for species measurements and fiber-coupled pyrometry was used for temperature measurements. At the front portion of the monolith, a fraction of the methane underwent total oxidation consuming all the oxygen available and producing CO2, H2O, and a significant exotherm. Further downstream, the total oxidation product H2O and the released heat were used for steam reforming of the remaining methane to produce hydrogen and CO. The effects of space velocity on the species and temperature distribution along the catalyst length during partial oxidation were analyzed. The SpaciMS and pyrometry techniques appeared valuable tools for reformer research, design, and modeling. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the AIChE Annual Meeting (San Francisco, CA 11/12-17/2006).
