REDUCTION OF CUPRIC OXIDE BY HYDROGEN. II. CONVERSION OF HYDROGEN TO WATER OVER FIXED BEDS

PDF Version Also Available for Download.

Description

The conditions under which hydrogen could be quantitatively recovered from mixtures of gases by oxidation over fixed beds of CuO were investigated. The conversion of H/sub 2/ to H/sub 2/O by reduction of CuO in fixed beds increased with in- creasing bed length, temperature, hydrogen/argon ratio, and decreasing mesh size of CuO. Residence times required for 99% conversion in a 1- in.-diam. bed were 0.6 and 1.2 sec for 30% hydrogen-70% argon and 10% hydrogen90% argon mixtures, respectively, at a total gas flow of 1 l/min. The CuO used was 25-mil-diam. wires with a surface area of 0.019 m/sup 2//g. … continued below

The CuO used was 25-mil-diam. wires with a surface area of 0.019 m/sup 2//g. The residence time required for a given value of conversion decreased about 10% when the total flow rate was increased from 1 to 1.7 liters/min, which indicates that the reduction is mass-transfer controlled to a slight extent under the experimental conditions used.
