On the mechanism activation of hydrogen and hydrocarbons on the carbides and hydrides obtained by non-isothermal conditions

Activation of ZrNiH3 hydride and TiCx carbides obtained by Self-Propagating High Temperature Synthesis method, as well as of natural clinoptilolite was investigated by hydrogen and hydrocarbon in non-isotherm conditions. Positive influence of small quantities of oxygen was observed on activation process. It has been shown that after preliminary activation of carbides and the zeolite surface modified by Cr2O3 can be used as substrate in CO hydration process carried out by spillover method in soft conditions. The modified zeolite or activated carbide combined with hydrogen activator, in our case ZrNiH3 hydride, can be efficiently used for rendering harmless the CO toxic gas ejecting into atmosphere, particularly turning it into useful hydrocarbons. The mechanism of hydride and carbide activation, and CO hydration by Spillover method had been discussed
