1kW(chem) System
A world unique closed-loop ammonia system with storage has been established at the ANU for operation at around 1 kW(chem) and pressures up to 30 MPa. The system offers to switch between electrical and solar-heated ammonia dissociation reactors.
Scaleing Up
Catalysts
Up until 1994, ammonia dissociation experiments at the ANU have been undertaken using ICI's 10%-wt Ni on Al2O3 catalyst "47-1". From then on, Haldor Topsøe's triply promoted iron-cobalt catalyst "DNK-2R" has been used with great success instead. Starting in 1998 we have become involved in the synthesis, characterisation and investigation of novel Ruthenium based catalysts.
