Hydrogen recovery from the reforming gas using commercial activated carbon
Hydrogen recovery from reforming gas products was investigated using commercial activated carbon in an adsorption column. The commercial activated carbon obtained from market that used for drinking water treatment was applied in this work. In the first part of this study, the effect of treated proce...
