摘要: Provided is a fuel cell system capable of further increasing electric power generation efficiency, compared to the current circumstances, with respect to a fuel cell SOFC that generates electric power by supplying a reformed gas obtained by steam reforming to a fuel electrode. A steam reformer that reforms a hydrocarbon fuel by a steam reforming reaction; a fuel cell that operates by introducing a reformed gas to a fuel electrode; and an anode off-gas circulation path that removes condensed water while cooling an anode off-gas, and introduces the anode off-gas to the steam reformer are provided. A condensation temperature in a condensing device is controlled by a control unit that controls a steam partial pressure of the anode off-gas circulated to the steam reformer, and S/C adjustment is adapted to high-efficiency electric power generation.

摘要: An electrochemical element stack that includes a plurality of stacked electrochemical elements, each of the electrochemical elements including a plate-like support provided with an internal passage. The plate-like support includes: a gas-permeable portion through which gas passes between the internal passage located inside the plate-like support and the outside; an electrochemical reaction portion covering the gas-permeable portion; and a first penetrated portion forming a supply passage through which fuel gas flows from the outside of the plate-like support to the internal passage. The plate-like supports of two adjacent electrochemical elements are opposed, an outer face of the first electrochemical element on which the electrochemical reaction portion is arranged is electrically connected to an outer face of the second electrochemical element on which the electrochemical reaction portion is not arranged, and a flowing portion through which air flows along the two adjacent outer faces is formed between the two outer faces.

摘要: Provided are a high-performance desulfurizing agent for gases and a gas desulfurization method that provide a high desulfurization performance even at low temperatures and can maintain its desulfurization performance for a long period of time. The desulfurizing agent is characterized in that it includes a zinc oxide, an aluminum oxide and copper, the agent further including nickel by from 1.0 mass % to 10 mass % and ruthenium by from 0.1 mass % to 1.0 mass %. The gas desulfurization method is characterized in that the desulfurizing agent is brought into contact with the gas in the coexistent of hydrogen, thus decomposing/removing sulfur compound contained in the gas.
