Production of Hydrogen Contanng Gases

2017

OF THE DISCLOSURE Commercial methanol is cracked to give hydrogen by passing it first over a supported nickel catalyst to destroy impurities and then over a zinc oxide, copper oxide cata lyst which may also comprise chromium oxide to complete the cracking.

Hydrogen and oxygen generation from a water vapor containing exhaust

2006

In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a device for generating hydrogen from a water vapor containing exhaust is provided. The device comprises an exhaust diverter and a hydrogen generation section. The exhaust diverter is configured to divert a portion of the exhaust to the hydrogen generation section. The hydrogen generation section comprises an electrolysis unit defining a hermetically sealed void volume configured to accumulate and store hydrogen.

Method of production of pure hydrogen near room temperature from aluminum-based hydride materials

2004

The present invention provides a cost-effective method of producing pure hydrogen gas from hydride-based solid materials. The hydride-based solid material is mechanically processed in the presence of a catalyst to obtain pure gaseous hydrogen. Unlike previous methods, hydrogen may be obtained from the solid material without heating, and without the addition of a solvent during processing. The described method of hydrogen production is useful for energy conversion and production technologies that consume pure gaseous hydrogen as a fuel.

Process for the preparation of 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene comprising reacting With at least one aromatic hydrocarbon, in the presence of a Zeolitic catalyst, a mixture of naphtha lenes comprising a cut obtained by the fractionation of suitable petrochemical streams and subsequent treatment of the product thus obtained With a solid acid.

Large-scale Hydrogen Production

Topsoe Technologies Large-scale Hydrogen Production, 2001

There is a growing need for hydrogen and a future hydrogen economy is high on the political agenda. But where should the hydrogen come from? The “sustainable” routes are still too expensive. Steam reforming of hydrocarbons is the most feasible route today. If CO2-sequestration is accepted, fossil fuels may play an important role in a starting future “hydrogen economy”. This will happen by use of the reforming technologies.

The Hy4Heat Programme

The hydrogen approach To be able to inform any future assessment of the feasibility of the costs and benefits of undertaking a hydrogen conversion, a full understanding of issues from end-to end (production to use) of the gas chain will be required. The hydrogen gas chain can be split into the following stages: • Production (including plant and CO2 off-take, CO2 sequestration and hydrogen storage). • Transmission network (involving the pipework that transports the gas under a pressure of between 7 and 85 bar). • Distribution network down to the end user's gas meter (involving pipework that transports the gas under a pressure of up to 7 bar). • End-use (i.e. downstream of the meter). This innovation programme seeks to demonstrate and de-risk the technologies downstream of the meter Global Energy Village,

Direct Production of Fractionated and Upgraded Hydrocarbon Fuels from Biomass

Multistage processing of biomass to produce at least two separate fungible fuel streams, one dominated by gasoline boiling-point range liquids and the other by diesel boiling point range liquids. The processing involves hydrotreating the biomass to produce a hydrotreatment product including a deoxygenated hydrocarbon product of gasoline and diesel boiling materials, followed by separating each of the gasoline and diesel boiling materials from the hydrotreatment product and each other.
