Batch solid sodium borohydride hydrolysis for hydrogen generation : the role of...
Descrição
The present study reports original experimental work on generation of hydrogen, by hydrolysis of solid sodium borohydride with stoichiometric amount of distilled water (H2O/NaBH4: 2, 2.84 and 3 mol/mol), in the presence of a powder unsupported Ni-Ru based catalyst, reused about 320 times. The experiments, performed in two batch reactors with equal internal volume but with different bottom shapes (flat and conical), revealed - for the conical bottom shape with any excess of water - 8.1 H2 wt% and 92 kg H2/m3 (materials-only basis), and a H2 rate of 87.4 L(H2) min-1g-1 catalyst. The role of reactor bottom geometry on the solid NaBH4 hydrolysis - with any excess of water - is, as the authors are aware, for the first time here referred.
