ABSTRACT
Dehydrogenation of organic chemical hydrides has been investigated with catalysts in which the economical Ni was adopted as catalytic component and SiO2 as support. In this work dehydrogenation of methylcyclohexane was performed as organic chemical hydride in a fixed-bed catalytic reactor in the temperature range of 653–713 K, having 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt.% Ni content.
