Abstract:
1. An apparatus for producing gasoline and hydrogen from methanol, comprising: a reaction container comprising a first reaction chamber filled with a first catalyst for an exothermic reaction of synthesizing gasoline from methanol through dimethyl ether (DME), a second reaction chamber filled with a second catalyst for an endothermic reaction of generating hydrogen from methanol, and a heat conduction unit for conducting a heat generated in the first reaction chamber to the second reaction chamber; and a methanol supply path for dividing methanol into a first part of methanol and a second part of methanol, the methanol supply path comprising a first supply path for supplying the first part of methanol to the first reaction chamber and a second supply path for supplying the second part of methanol to the second reaction chamber of the reaction container, wherein the heat conduction unit has a multi-tubular shape, the tubes being filled with the first catalyst so that the first reaction chamber is arranged inside the tubes, and a space between the tubes in the reaction container being filled with the second catalyst so that the second reaction chamber is arranged in the space between the tubes.
