Abstract:

Hydrogen as an energy source having high potential for enhanced energy storage capacity has drawn interest of researchers as an environmental promising fuel. Hydrogen used in industrial applications is currently produced by catalytic reforming reactions. Various other methods of hydrogen production have been developed, including the water electrolysis. Hydrogen is a highly promising energy source due to its extremely high energy density and light weight. Around 95% of the hydrogen production in the world has been estimated to originate from fossil fuels, underlining the reliability and importance of fossil fuels as a hydrogen source. Ionic liquids (ILs) are salts comprising cations and anions, and usually liquids at or below 100°C. The salts that are liquids at room temperature are generally called as room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). Ionic liquids are also employed as auxiliaries and catalysts in chemical synthesis. Ionic liquids are non-volatile in nature having low vapor pressure. They are generally stable and heat resistant up to 300?. The electrical conductivity is very high, that is not the case in fluids composed of neutral particles potential. Imidiazolium ionic liquids are more preferably used for hydrogen production. Low pH (2.5) and high temperature (338 K) were discovered to be the better conditions for hydrogen production. The 1-ethyl-3-methylpyridinium ethyl sulfate (EMP-ES) ionic liquid is used to regulate the rate of hydrogen generation for the first time The comparative analysis of different ionic liquids is done by using a simulation software ASPEN Plus. Different ionic liquids being considered are analyzed using sensitivity analysis.
