  • METHOD OF USING CARBON NANOTUBES FUEL PRODUCTION
    Publication number: 20140330059
    Abstract: Use of a particular form of carbon—carbon nanotubes—as the catalyst. The present technology uses CNTs produced via air-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD), which can produce these extremely active catalysts (over an order higher in the magnitude of the activity of the catalyst as compared to the conventional Fe based catalyst) in a single step for converting carbonaceous materials such as coal, biomass, natural gas to liquid fuels such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, kerosene etc. . . . , which is generally accomplished through three process blocks.

  • Process for recovery of hydrogen from coal gasification products
    Publication number: 20070256359
    Abstract: A process for recovering hydrogen from coal gasification products is provided. The process comprises contacting the coal gasification products with a metal-based Boudouard catalyst to produce a first product stream comprising hydrogen and carbon dioxide; and contacting the first product stream with a solid phase carbon dioxide adsorbent to separate hydrogen from the first product stream.
