Nickel Catalyst Deposition on Carbon-Coated Receptors for Microwave-Assisted Catalytic Reactions

Due to the importance of hydrogen production on the prospect of global energy foresight, reforming reactions have been accredited and promptly developed to attain high selectivity and yield of pure hydrogen. Accordingly, novel processing methods, namely, microwave heating, with unique characteristics can contribute to optimize reforming processes leading to state-of-the-art technologies. Microwave heating provides exceptional advantages over conventional processing techniques, the selective heating mechanism, exclusively. While microwave irradiation interacts with dielectric material, components with significant dielectric properties, common compounds, namely, gases, fail to project substantial microwave interaction. With the assistance of microwave heating characteristics, preparing a catalyst system with the catalyst and/or support comprising the dielectric material would considerably promote the productivity of the reforming processes. Consequently in this study, multiple techniques have been developed to deposit nickel, a renowned reforming catalyst, on the developed carbon coated catalyst supports. The study concluded that fluidized bed chemical deposition of carbon coupled with polyol-sonication nickel deposition method provides the optimized catalytic system.
