Description
Summary:Conventional processes of hydrogen production are among major producers of emissions. -free production of hydrogen via thermocatalytic decomposition of methane as a viable alternative to the conventional processes is discussed in this paper. The technical approach is based on a single-step decomposition of methane over ceria-based catalyst with nickel or copper promoter. This approach eliminates the need for water-gas shift reactors and removal, which significantly simplifies the process. In the case for thermocatalytic decomposition of methane, emphasis will be given on the (i) synthesizing of ceria-based catalyst with nickel or copper promoter, (ii) characterization of the catalyst, (iii) study performance of the catalyst in term of the hydrogen production.
