Co-Production Of Hydrogen And Carbon Nanofibers From Methane Decomposition Over Zeolite Y Supported Ni Catalysts Jan 2015

Co-Production Of Hydrogen And Carbon Nanofibers From Methane Decomposition Over Zeolite Y Supported Ni Catalysts

Faculty of Engineering University of Malaya

The objective of this paper is to study the influences of different operating conditions on the hydrogen formation and properties of accumulated carbon from methane decomposition using zeolite Y supported 15% and 30% Ni, respectively, at a temperature range between 500 and 650 degrees C in a pilot scale fixed bed reactor. The temperature ramp was showed a significant impact on the thermo-catalytic decomposition (TCD) of methane. An optimum temperature range of 550-600 degrees C were required to attain the maximum amount of methane conversion and revealed that at 550 and 600 degrees C, catalyst showed longer activity for the …
