Factors influencing methanol steam reforming inside the oriented linear copper fiber sintered felt

► An oriented linear copper fiber sintered felt uses as a catalyst support for MSR. ► Sintered felt shows little influence at low GHSVs and reaction temperatures. ► Sintered felt with 80% porosity presents better performances of MSR. ► Sintered felt with 60 mm length achieves better reaction performances. ► Sintered felt with symmetric triangle manifold enhances reaction performances.
