Changes in iridium catalyst activity with different amounts of nanoparticles
Abstrak
To discuss the potential effect of iridium (Ir) nanoparticles as an active loaded in atmospheric conditions, we prepared a series of catalysts with the same active phase, but different contents of iridium (10, 15, and 20% by weight) on gamma-alumina for decomposition of hydrazine. The performance of catalyst nanoparticles was better with 15wt% and 20wt% of the Ir particles, and also the selectivity to hydrogen was about 27%. An increase in the reaction rate from 181 h-1 to 218 h−1 was observed in loading 15% by weight of iridium particles due to the good dispersion of the active phases by preventing surface agglomeration. Therefore, as a satisfactory result of this investigation, it was found that Ir catalysts with different weight percentage (15wt% and 20wt%) show the same performance against the activity and selectivity to hydrogen, and are suitable substitutes for each other. Using a catalyst with a lower weight percentage of the active phase and high activity is economically acceptable due to its low cost.
