| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The development of new hydrogen production methods has been widely studied to establish safe, efficient and environmentally friendly alternative energy resources. Hydrogen gas can be conventionally produced by a steam reforming of methane under harsh reaction conditions with CO2 generation. Alcohols are prospective candidates as CO2-free hydrogen storages since the dehydrogenation from alcohols relatively easily proceeds of low energy. We have found that the dehydrogenation of alcohol could smoothly and quantitatively proceed by the use of a heterogeneously catalyzed flow reaction system with microwave irradiation as a direct-heating source. The combination of flow reaction system and microwave irradiation extremely effectively facilitated the hydrogen production in comparison with the batch system.
Furthermore, we have also developed an efficient hydrogenation method of aromatic nuclei via the direct hydrogen transfer process from 2-propanol without external addition of hydrogen gas.
