Abstract
The work is devoted to the study of the novel process of catalytic decomposition of light hydrocarbons on a catalyst at temperatures of 550 °С and 600 °C at various pressures. The CVD process is a new COx-free approach for hydrogen production. A glass fiber fabric was used as a catalyst, which was preliminarily modified by the application of additional outer layers of NiO and porous silica. A technical mixture of propane and butane was used as feedstock. The main purpose is to investigate the effects of pressure and temperature on the production of hydrogen and carbon nanofibers over a glass-based catalyst. As a result of the decomposition of the mixture, the yield of hydrogen was 266–848 L/gcat, and that of carbon nanofibers was 3–10 g/gcat. Increasing the pressure of propane-butane mixture decomposition led to an increase of the catalyst lifetime. The highest yield of hydrogen and carbon nanofibers was achieved at 1 bar and 600 °C.
