Heterogeneous Catalytic Reactor for Hydrogen Production from Formic Acid and Its Use in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells
Gabor Laurenczy, Nordahl Autissier, Katerina Stefania Sordakis, Martin Grasemann, Andrew Francis Dalebrook
A proof-of-concept prototype of a medium-scale heterogeneous catalytic reactor for continuous production of hydrogen through formic acid (FA) dehydrogenation has been developed. A commercial proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell (FC) fed with the result ...
2018Hydrogen storage: beyond conventional methods
Gabor Laurenczy, Martin Grasemann, Weijia Gan, Séverine Joëlle Moret, Andrew Francis Dalebrook
The efficient storage of hydrogen is one of three major hurdles towards a potential hydrogen economy. This report begins with conventional storage methods for hydrogen and broadly covers new technology, ranging from physical media involving solid adsorbent ...
Royal Soc Chemistry2013Formic acid as a hydrogen source – recent developments and future trends
Gabor Laurenczy, Martin Grasemann
Formic acid has recently been suggested as a promising hydrogen storage material. The basic concept is briefly discussed and the recent advances in the development of formic acid dehydrogenation catalysts are shown. Both the state of research for heterogen ...
Royal Soc Chemistry2012A novel compact reactor for three-phase hydrogenations
Albert Renken, Lioubov Kiwi, Madhvanand Namadeo Kashid, Martin Grasemann
A novel reactor based on a bubble column staged by structured catalytic layers with integrated cross flow micro-heat-exchangers (HEX) was designed and tested in the solvent free hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (MBY) aiming on process intensification ...
Elsevier2010Compact reactor for continuous multi-phase reactions
The objective of this thesis is the development of a compact reactor for continuous three-phase reactions in single-pass configurations. The design is based on a bubble column reactor staged with layers of catalytic material. To make the reactor suitable f ...
EPFL2009Kinetics of the solvent-free hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol over a structured Pd-based catalyst
Albert Renken, Lioubov Kiwi, Rocio Micaela Crespo Quesada, Martin Grasemann
The solvent-free selective hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (MBY) to 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (MBE) was studied over a Pd/ZnO structured catalyst and compared to its behavior in water-assisted conditions. The catalytic behavior was correlated with the s ...
2009Three-Phase Catalytic Hydrogenation of a Functionalized Alkyne: Mass Transfer and Kinetic Studies with in Situ Hydrogen Monitoring
Albert Renken, Lioubov Kiwi, Martin Grasemann
Systematic studies of mass transfer interactions with intrinsic reaction kinetics were performed for the threephase selective hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (MBY) to 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (MBE) over a modified Pd/CaC catalyst under solvent ...
2008Perspective for Extended Group-Contribution Methods for the Prediction of Activity Coefficients Accounting for Sterical Effects. Linking UNIFAC and the Group Vector Space Method
Group contribution methods for the calculation of an activity coefficient such as UNIFAC (universal factorial activity coefficient) currently do not take into account sterical effects. Consequently one of the major deficiencies of such methods is their ina ...
