Abstract

A new and highly active catalyst for the promotion of the low-temperature para-orthohydrogen conversion has been developed recently [1,2]. This paper treats the problem of the design of adiabatic catalytic reactors for this reaction, with particular emphasis on the application of this catalyst. Included in the paper is a description of the experimental test stand, typical reaction rate data and their analysis, and a discussion of the application of the adiabatic reaction to open hydrogen systems in which low-temperature refrigeration is recovered from the hydrogen.
