Abstract:
PURPOSE: A molten carbonate fuel cell system equipped with a hydrocarbon reactor is provided to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by regenerating the carbon dioxide into hydrocarbon. CONSTITUTION: A molten carbonate fuel cell system equipped with a hydrocarbon reactor includes an air pole(130), a fuel cell(100), a hydrocarbon reactor(200), a gas and liquid separator(210), and a hydrocarbon reservoir(220). The air pole receives oxygen and carbon dioxide and generates carbonate ions. The fuel cell includes a fuel pole(110). The fuel pole reacts fuels containing the carbonate ions, hydrogen, and electrolyte absorbing the carbonate ions. The fuel pole generates the exhausted gas of the fuel pole, and the exhausted gas contains water and the carbon dioxide. The hydrocarbon reactor generates hydrocarbon based on the exhausted gas. The gas and liquid separator separates water from the hydrocarbon result. The hydrocarbon without the water is stored in the hydrocarbon reservoir.
Abstract:
A method for producing a molten carbonate fuel cell matrix by using nano-sized powder is provided to form a high-density structure while maintaining porosity, to impart high durability during thermal cycles to a fuel cell, and to realize enhanced strength and structural stability. A method for producing a molten carbonate fuel cell matrix by using nano-sized powder comprises the steps of: pulverizing gamma-LiAlO2 nano-sized particles with a ball mill; mixing the pulverized gamma-LaAlO2 nano-sized powder with gamma-LiAlO2 macroparticles and Al2O3 fibers to provide slurry; forming the slurry into a green sheet by using a tape casting process; and drying the green sheet. The ball mill pulverization step is carried out for 48-72 hours, and the drying step is carried out at a blade moving speed of 10-40 cm/min under 25-85 deg.C.
