Description
The increased demand for hydrogen as an energy vector and storage medium results in a constantly growing need for higher liquefaction capacity. However, the design of the required ortho-parahydrogen converters is currently subject to major uncertainty. The data on the activity of the current standard catalyst hydrous ferric oxide, commercially available as “Ionex-Type O-P Catalyst” (Ionex) by Molecular Products, are outdated and partially contradictive. The HyCat project, currently conducted at Dresden University of Technology, aims to create a new set of highly accurate design data for ortho-para converters. For this reason, a sophisticated measurement apparatus has been set up in the past years, allowing the testing of ortho-para catalysts in the entire operational of range modern large-scale hydrogen liquefaction plants. This work presents first activity measurements for Ionex at several conversion conditions.
