Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to present the result of the research activity that have been carried out for the development of an innovative method for efficient and environmentally friendly hydrogen production from hydrocarbons.The research activities have been conceived in the context of current concerns regarding the production of cheap and environmental friendly hydrogen in massive quantities.Impact on the environment depends on hydrogen production processes and products. There are different methods of hydrogen production from hydrocarbons. Currently, hydrogen from natural gas is produced by the classical methods of steam reforming or autothermal catalytic decomposition. In both cases the by product includes large quantities of CO2. In this paper, various hydrocarbons (natural gas, methane, ethane, propane, ethyl alcohol, etc.), catalytic decomposition of carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are analyzed in the context of obtaining pure hydrogen while improving the efficiency of the active catalyst. The production of hydrogen through the catalytic decomposition of hydrocarbons does not pose danger to the environment due to the process of vapor recovery. Pure hydrogen, as a product of hydrocarbons produced through catalytic decomposition, and leading to by-products such as carbon nanofibres (CNF), and carbon nanotubes (CNT), has been of great interest recently due to environmental considerations. CNT, CNF and their electronic applications, gas storage and composite material, catalyst support, etc. of carbon structures are used in many fields.
