Characteristics of Hydrogen Evolution in 2-Propanol/Acetone/Hydrogen Chemical Heat Pump

Abstract

Efficient hydrogen evolution from the 2-propanol solution containing acetone at high concentrations was found by adoption of a large catalyst/substrate ratio under ebullient conditions. The so-called liquid-film type reaction gave both high reaction rates and low extents of rate retardation caused by the product. On this basis, a new type of the low-temperature endothermic reactor for the 2-propanol/acetone/hydrogen chemical heat pump system has been suggested.
