CO-free hydrogen production via dehydrogenation of a Jet A hydrocarbon mixture
نویسندگان
چکیده
The dehydrogenation of a Jet A hydrocarbon mixture was investigated for the production of hydrogen for fuel cell applications. This process differs from steam/partial oxidation reforming of hydrocarbons in that the hydrogen produced is free of CO, and therefore can be used in low temperature fuel cells without further purification. Because of their relative importance with respect to the spectrum of hydrocarbons in the mixture, cyclohexane and decalin were investigated independently. A hybrid catalyst, Pt/γ -Al2O3-ZrO2/SO 2− 4 , was designed to enhance the hydrogen production yields. © 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
