Title: Lambertus Haart and Hydrogen-Producing Membrane Reactor Innovation

Introduction

Lambertus Haart is an inventor associated with Heerlen, the Netherlands, and Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH. His patent work includes a reactor design for producing hydrogen while reducing carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in the resulting gas stream.

Latest Patents

Haart is credited with 1 patent: “Membrane Reactor for Producing CO- and CO₂-Free Hydrogen.” The invention describes a reactor with two chambers separated by a membrane that allows hydrogen and carbon monoxide to pass through but blocks carbon dioxide. In the first chamber, a catalyst converts methanol into a gas mixture containing hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. Hydrogen and carbon monoxide pass into the second chamber, where another catalyst converts the carbon monoxide into methane.

Career Highlights

Haart’s patent reflects research into catalytic processes and membrane-based separation for hydrogen production. The disclosed design combines methanol conversion with further treatment of the gas mixture in a two-chamber reactor.

Collaborations

His listed coworkers include Josefin Meusinger and Ulrich Stimming. The patent is associated with Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH.

Conclusion

Lambertus Haart’s patented membrane reactor combines methanol conversion and catalytic treatment to support the production of hydrogen with reduced carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
