Abstract
The invention provides a process for the production of hydrogen, comprising catalytically decomposing a concentrated aqueous solution of potassium formate in a reaction vessel to form bicarbonate slurry and hydrogen, discharging the hydrogen from said reaction vessel, and treating a mixture comprising the bicarbonate slurry and the catalyst with an oxidizer, thereby regenerating the catalyst. Pd/C catalysts useful in the process are also described.
Claims14
A Pd/C catalyst wherein Pd loading is in the range from 0.15 to 0.5 wt %, and wherein at least a portion of the palladium is present on the support in the form of sub-nanometer particles (<1 nm).
