Hydrogen is one of the most promising fuels for the next generation of energy systems. It has the highest energy content per unit weight among all known fuels and is environmentally benign, producing only water vapor and energy upon combustion. This book provides a comprehensive overview of global research on hydrogen energy, covering innovative production methods and strategies for optimizing its generation and utilization.
Topics include: structured catalysts for process intensification in reforming; bimetallic supported catalysts for hydrocarbon and alcohol reforming; catalysts for renewable, by-product, and waste hydrogen production; Ni- and Cu-based catalysts for methanol and ethanol reforming; transition metal catalysts for low-temperature steam reforming of methane; supercritical water gasification of biomass; biofuel-based hydrogen production; modelling of fixed-bed and micro membrane reactors for ultrapure hydrogen; perovskite and polymeric membrane reactors; industrial membranes for hydrogen separation; multifunctional hybrid sorption-enhanced membrane reactors; carbon-based membranes; and cryogenic distillation for hydrogen isotope separation.
Hydrogen Production, Separation and Purification for Energy is essential reading for researchers and professionals in academia and industry working on energy engineering and hydrogen technologies.
