Synthesis of Cu/Fe/Ti/Al(2)O(3) Composite Granules for SO(3) Decomposition in SI Cycle

Abstract

The present paper deals with the catalytic decomposition of SO(3) reaction. Cu/Fe/Ti/Al(2)O(3) composite granule catalysts prepared by a combination of Yoldas process and oil-drop method were studied in an attempt to find some suitable catalysts for the decomposition of sulfur trioxide as the oxygen-generating reaction in the thermo-chemical water splitting process. CuFe/Ti:Al-1:2 shows high SO(3) conversion (69%) at 800 A degrees C compared with other catalysts because of the high surface area and the support permitted a better dispersion of Ti.
