Definitions
- the present invention relates to the use of carbides and nitrides of transition elements in devices such as catalytic engines or continuous reactors used to generate and use gases obtained from the catalytic decomposition of hydrazine.
- the catalytic system shown in Figure 1 comprises a fixed bed (1) made with grains of carbides or nitrides of tungsten, molibdenum, niobium or other transition metals, placed inside a chamber (2) , which is an integral part of an engine or a continuous reactor.
- the hydrazine in its liquid phase and kept in a pressurized vessel (3) is admitted into the chamber through injectors (4) .
- the hydrazine is then vaporized and decomposed by the catalytic bed, generating the gases nitrogen, hydrogen and ammonia
- the present patent of invention is different from the existing techniques in the change of the catalytic bed, usually made with extremely expensive items such as iridium supported on alumina and submitted to a strong deactivation process, by a highly inexpensive material, which requires the use of less complex manufacturing techniques, and which possesses better thermal and mechanical properties while keeping a similar_ performance, such as carbides and nitrides of tungsten, molibdenum and niobium.
- the main mean characteristics of the nitrides and carbides of tungsten, molibdenum and niobium are the following: Porous Specific Volume: 0 to 1.2 cm 3 /g; Specific
- oxinitrides Materials with a residual oxigen content above zero may also be referred as oxinitrides and oxicarbides.
- the prepared compounds may have the shape of irregular plates, spheroidal-cylinders (bastonets) or spherical particles and powders with characteristic dimensions varying from ten to tens of mm.
- the material can also be deposited on screens or on an inert support such as alumina .
- the engine was operated inside a vacuum chamber
- Figures 5 and 6 show the performances of the tungsten oxicarbide and of the catalyst SHELL 405, respectively, under 5 s continuous operation regime.
