Major Field of Science: | Natural Sciences | Field Category: | Chemical Sciences | Keywords: | Formic acid decomposition;H2 production;Process simulation modelling;Renewable energy;Green chemistry | Issue Date: | 2-Sep-2021 | Source: | Applied Sciences, 2021, vol. 11, no. 18, articl. no. 8462 | Volume: | 11 | Issue: | 18 | Journal: | Applied Sciences | Abstract: | The use of hydrogen as a renewable fuel has attracted great attention in recent years. The decomposition of formic acid under mild conditions was investigated using a 2%Pd6Zn4 catalyst in a batch reactor. The results showed that the conversion of formic acid increases with reaction temperature and with the formic acid concentration. A process-simulation model was developed to predict the decomposition of formic acid using 2%Pd6Zn4 in a batch reactor. The model demonstrated very good validation with the experimental work. Further comparisons between the 2%Pd6Zn4 catalyst and a commercial Pd/C catalyst were carried out. It was found that the 2%Pd6Zn4 demonstrated significantly higher conversions when compared with the commercial catalyst. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/23765 | ISSN: | 20763417 | DOI: | 10.3390/app11188462 | Rights: | © by the authors.
