Hydrogen production from fossil sources and biofuels

This laboratory contains equipment and micro-scale testing plants for the study of reforming processes (Steam, Autothermal, and Trireforming) of gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons and biofuels (Biogas, Bioethanol) that aim at obtaining an hydrogen-rich mixture (syngas). The plants are used to test both structured catalysts (monoliths and foams) and pellets.   In particular: Plant...

Catalysts for hydrogen production

The laboratory mainly deals with synthesis and characterisation of catalysts for reforming processes, which are obtained as powder, granulated or are used as a covered layer on preformed structures (monolith, metallic foils, foams) and/or as self-supported catalyst beds The equipment for the preparation activity includes the following items: agitators, stirrers,...
