Abstract

Fresh commercial carbon nanotubes (CNTs) containing residual Co or Fe nanoparticles are highly active for NH₃ decomposition while the microstructure of CNTs remains unchanged. The catalysts are promising for elimination of NH₃ from coal gasification stream and for production of H₂ from NH₃.
