A tightly rolled pure Ni coil catalyst was assembled to ensure a stable catalytic performance in a wide range of conditions for methane steam reforming. With a high geometric specific surface area of 88.1 cm2/cm3, the coil catalyst achieved the objective of this study in the range of the space velocity (455-2800 h−1), steam-to-carbon ratio (0.62–2.48), and temperature (973–1073 K), which was hard to achieve on our previously developed Ni honeycomb catalyst with a geometric specific surface area of 59.4 cm2/cm3. Methane steam reforming reaction was slightly accelerated by the reactant flow because of the mass transfer enhancement of H2, CO, and CO2. The conversion, selectivity, and yield of the products were evaluated as a function of the conditions mentioned above. The high H2production rate per unit catalyst volume demonstrated the high potential of the Ni coil catalyst for applications to small-scale hydrogen production system.
