Abstract:Ammonia reforming of light alkane is conventionally employed
for
HCN production where coproduct H2 is burned for heating
owing to the high reaction temperature (1200 °C) of such a highly
endothermic process. Here, we show that a Ni3Ga1 intermetallic compound (IMC) catalyst is highly efficient for such
a reaction, realizing efficient conversion of C1–C3 alkanes at 575–750 °C. This makes it feasible
for on-purpose CO
x
-free H2 production
assuming that ammonia, as an H2 carrier, is ubiquitously
available from re… Show more
