Dehydrogenation of N-ethyldodecahydrocarbazole over Pt/C catalyst in the hydrogen storage aspect

The optimum conditions (T = 210 °C and V_L = 1 h^–1) were determined for the dehydrogenation of N-ethyldodecahydrocarbazole on a 3 wt% Pt/C catalyst in a flow-type catalytic unit at normal pressure. The kinetic parameters (conversion and selectivity) of the dehydrogenation process correlated well with the volumes of released hydrogen. High purity of the thus produced hydrogen was established by chromatography.
