I question the amount of nickel used. The one liter (1000 cc) Cat-E used 100 grams of catalyst. By proportion, a 50 cc volume should use only 5 grams of catalyst. The density of the catalyst is too high. It should be about 3g/cc since it is porous. On Wed, Apr 20, 2011 at 5:33 AM, .:.gotjosh

Axil, I agree about 5g in proportion, but the KE report says: The central container seen in figure 3 has an estimated volume of 50 cm3 and it contains 50 grams of nickel. I also thought about the powder density/porosity and chose a number close to the full density of nickel metal, as i imagined

Shutting down H2 supply cannot work, since the gas in the reactor is highly pressurized and consumed slowly, so the reaction would not be abated on H2 shut-down - in fact not for an extended period - possibly hours or days. Do you release pressurized and very hot hydrogen into a room where many
