Fe2O3, a cost effective and environmentally friendly catalyst for the generation of NH3 – a future fuel – using a new Al2O3-looping based technology†
Abstract
Fe2O3 is found to be a cost-effective and environmentally friendly catalyst for chemical looping generation of NH3 – a future fuel. The optimal Fe2O3 loading on nitrogen carriers, AIN, is 5 wt%. Fe2O3 can reduce the activation energy of the N-desorption step of AIN by 100 kJ mol−1 or ∼30%.
