Hydrogen and Filamentous Carbon Nanomaterials Synthesis Via Catalytic Conversion of Biomass Pyrolysis Products
Short Introductive summary
A novel reactor configuration combining two beds: a central fluidized bed and an annular mobile bed was designed to be used for the production of carbon nanofilaments and H2 via catalytic conversion of gases produced from the pyrolysis of biomass that have been used to decontaminate soils. This combination will allow easy recovery of these nanomaterials and will also prevent blockage, as the mixture of catalyst and carbon formed is continuously fluidized. The produced CNF are entrained with the outlet gas stream and are retained using metallic candle filters, which are cleaned up periodically by gas pulses. To test the functioning of this reactor, ethylene was used first as a surrogate molecule. The preliminary experimental results will be presented in this work as well as the ongoing work.
