Critical Analysis of Hydrogen Production by Aqueous Methanol Sonolysis

Aissa Dehane et al. Top Curr Chem (Cham). .

Abstract

Recently, several experimental and theoretical studies have demonstrated the feasibility of enhancing the sonochemical production of hydrogen via methanol pyrolysis within acoustic cavitation bubbles (i.e. sonolysis of aqueous methanol solution). This review includes both the experimental and theoretical achievements in the field of hydrogen production by methanol sonolysis. Additionally, the limits of the process's applicability and plausible solutions are highlighted. The impact of different parameters influencing the process performance is discussed. Finally, the effects of methanol concentration on the size distribution of active cavitation bubbles are analyzed.

Keywords: Combustion; Fuel; Hydrogen production; Methanol; Size distribution; Sonochemistry.
