D3.6 - FIRST GENERATION POCS - AMBHER

This deliverable deals with the design, manufacturing, characterization, and catalytic activation by the wash-coating method of Periodical Cellular Structures (POCS) printed in several materials (Al, Ni and Cu alloys) and with various structural parameters (density, cell type and strut dimensions). The general aim is to intensify the ammonia synthesis throughout the developed structured catalysts with geometries that allow the integration with ammonia selective membranes in a membrane-based reactor. The activities described in this report are related to Subtask 3.3.1 (Design, manufacture and heat transfer performance characterization (under non-reactive conditions) of 3D printed POCS and commercial open cell foam) and Subtask 3.3.2 (Catalytic activation, characterization and performances of thermal conductive open-cell foams and POCS with commercial reference catalyst (1st generation).
