"Modifications of the TiO2 P25 photocatalyst with metals: Platinum (Pt), Copper (Cu) and non-metal: Nitrogen (N) doping to produce Hydrogen (H2) from a glycerol-water mixture have been investigated. The metals (Pt and Cu) were loaded into Titanium Dioxide (TiO2 ) surface by employing an impregnation and Photo-Assisted Deposition (PAD) method, respectively. As prepared the metal doped TiO2 photocatalyst was then dispersed into an ammonia solution to obtain N-doped photocatalysts. The modified photocatalysts were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Ultraviolet-Visible Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS). XRD patterns indicated that the modified TiO2 photocatalysts have a nano-size crystallite range of 16-23 nm, while the DRS analysis showed that the doping of both metal and non-metal into TiO2 photocatalysts could effectively shift photon absorption to the visible light region. The optimum Cu loading of Cu-N-TiO2 was found to be 5%, resulting in a 10 times higher H2 production improvement level when compared to unloaded TiO2, even though this is still considered to be inferior compared to that of a 1% Pt loading, which results in a 34 times higher level than an unmodified TiO2photocatalyst. The effect of glycerol concentrations on hydrogen production has also been studied. This method offers a promising technology to find renewable and clean energy by using cheap materials and a simple technology."

"Produksi hidrogen dengan menggunakan metanol atau gliserol sebagai elektron donor pada fotokatalis TiO2, TiNT, Pt/TiO2 dan Pt/TiNT pada suhu reaksi dari 30 oC sampai dengan 70 oC telah diteliti. Metanol dan gliserol efektif sebagai elektron donor untuk produksi hidrogen secara fotokatalisis. Penggunaan metanol lebih unggul 10% dari gliserol pada semua katalis dalam total produksi hidrogen. Produksi hidrogen terbaik ditunjukkan oleh fotokatalis Pt(1%)/TiNT dengan metanol sebagai elektron donor, yaitu sebesar 2306 µmol/gcat, sementara total hidrogen dengan gliserol sebesar 2120 µmol/gcat. Penggunaan dopan Pt pada fotokatalis menghasilkan produksi hidrogen dua kali lebih besar dibandingkan dengan tanpa dopan.

Hidrogen production with methanol or glycerol as sacrificial agent using TiO2, TiO2 Nanotubes, Pt/TiO2 and Pt/TiO2 Nanotubes photocatalysts at reaction temperature 30 oC to 70 oC have been investigated. Methanol and glycerol were effective for hydrogen production and the best result was methanol with Pt(1%)/TiO2 that have 2306 µmol/gcat, meanwhile with glycerol only produce 2120 µmol/gcat. The other photocatalyst also have the same pattern, which metanol give 10% higher result on total hydrogen production. Catalyst with Pt give twice higher hydrogen production rather than with no Pt."

"Upaya untuk memproduksi hidrogen masih sedikit dari sumber yang terbarukan. TiO2 dalam bentuk nanotube arrays dengan dopan Boron yang disintesis dengan metode anodisasi untuk produksi hidrogen telah diinvestigasi. Perlakuan termal katalis B-TiO2 nanotube arrays (B-TNTAs) dilakukan dengan kalsinasi reduksi dengan gas hidrogen pada suhu 500oC selama 2 jam. Analisis SEM menunjukkan morfologi nanotube arrays tiap konsentrasi boron seragam. Analisis UV-Vis DRS menunjukkan B-TNTAs memiliki absorbansi yang besar pada jangkauan panjang gelombang sinar tampak dengan band gap energy yang relatif rendah yaitu menjadi 2,9 eV. Analisis XRD menunjukkan hasil 100% kristal anatase murni. Melalui proses fotokatalisis, hidrogen mampu dihasilkan hingga 48959 μmol/m2 setelah 4 jam pengujian dengan katalis 7,5 mM B-TNTAs.

A flex-matala packed biofilter with specific surface area M365 m2/m3 (M365) and 190 m2/m3 (M190) were used as a bacteria carrier in a Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) in this study. The continuous stirred tank reactor with packed biofilter (CSTR-PBF) was designed and operated under sugary wastewater substrate at concentration of 10 g total sugar/L ? 30 g total glukosa/L and hydraulic retention time (HRT) 8 h - 0.5 h to assess the biohydrogen producing ability. Biofilter was installed at 60 mm height from the bottom of bioreactor (middle of the bioreactor). The biofilter played a role in avoiding biomass washout. It was found that substrat concentration of 15 ? 20 g glucose/L lead the hydrogen production performa. Biofilter M365 produced the higher hydrogen production rate and yield. The condition producing the higher hydrogen production rate was at HRT 0.5 h with hydrogen production rate (HPR) of 124.87L H2/L/d, and yield of 1.17 mol H2/mol glucose. On the other hand, the condition producing the higher yield obtained when the fermentor operated at HRT 4 h, which hydrogen production rate and yield were 13.74 H2/L/d, and yield of 1.42 mol H2/mol glucose. Operation condition suggested for hydrogen production was HRT 1 h and 20 g total glucose/L which HPR, susbtrate conversion and yield were 88.69 H2/L/d; 91.85 % and 1.42 mol H2/mol glucose. There was difference distribution of biomassa on top, middle and bottom part of the bioreactor observed at HRT 1 h to 0,5 h. Butyric acid and acetic acid were the main liquid product that the ratio was 5.66 mol butyric/mol acetic. A flex packed biofilter used in CSTR system is a better approach to accumulate biomass concentration in bioreactor for enhancing biohydrogen production rate comparison with other kinds of bioreactor."

"Objectives of this research are mainly to study impacts of acidity strength (by varying amount of precipitant and loading Al-Si) and the effect of nickel particle size (by varying calcinations temperature) on decomposition reaction performances. In this research, high-nickel-loaded catalyst is prepared with two methods. Ni-Cu/Al catalysts were prepared with co-precipitation method. While the Ni-Cu/Al-Si catalyst were prepared by combined co-precipitation and sol-gel method. The direct cracking of methane was performed in 8mm quartz fixed bed reactor at atmospheric pressure and 500-700°C. The main results showed that the Al content of catalyst increases with the increasing amount of precipitant. The activity of catalyst increases with the increasing of catalyst?s acidity to the best possible point, and then increasing of acidity will reduce the activity of catalyst. Ni-Cu/4Al and Ni-Cu/11Al deactivated in a very short time hence produced fewer amount of nanocarbon, while Ni-Cu/15Al was active in a very long period. The most effective catalyst is Ni-Cu/22Al, which produced the biggest amount of nanocarbon (4.15 g C/g catalyst). Ni catalyst diameter has significant effect on reaction performances mainly methane conversion and product yield. A small Ni crystal size gave a high methane conversion, a fast deactivation and a low carbon yield. Large Ni particle diameter yielded a slow decomposition and low methane conversion. The highest methane conversion was produced by catalyst diameter of 4 nm and maximum yield of carbon of 4.08 g C/ g catalyst was achieved by 15.5 nm diameter of Ni catalyst."
