Abstract
It is reported that a method for the hydrogen production from the propane decomposition using carbon black as a catalyst is more effective than from the methane decomposition. Since the by-products like CO and $CO_2$ are not produced by the direct decomposition of propane, it is considered as an environmentally sustainable process. In this study, hydrogen was produced by the direct decomposition of propane using either commercial activated carbon or carbon black at atmospheric pressure in the temperature range of $500-1,000^{\circ}C$. Resulting products in our experiment were not only hydrogen but also several by-products such as methane, ethylene, ethane, and propylene. Hydrogen yield increased as temperature increased because the amount of those by-products produced in the experiment was inversely proportional to temperature. The achieved hydrogen yield at $750^{\circ}C$ with commercial DCC N330 catalyst was 22.47％ in this study.
