Study of the activity of a novel green catalyst used in the production of hydrogen from methanolysis of sodium borohydride

Biomass is an important energy source because it easily accessible, contributes to the protection of environment, and can be used in industry. resources classified as plants, vegetable animal wastes, urban industrial wastes. Highly active catalysts prepared by physical chemical activation methods. Here, Microcystis aeruginosa was a biomass metal-free catalyst synthesized. The production conditions were determined burning microsistis modified with 3M H3PO4 at different temperatures (100, 200, 300 400 oC) times (30, 45, 60 90 minutes). Parameters such NaBH4 amount, amount temperature synthesized MA- that affect methanolization investigated. In kinetic calculations, reaction order found n 0.18, 19.014 kj / mol initial rate 4998.7 ml H2min-1gcat-1. reusability MA-H3PO4 tested 5 its stability determined.
