Özet:

In this study, hydrogen production was carried out from NaBH4 by methanolysis using Spirulina platensis microalgae and Microcystis aeruginosa macroalgae species. Microalgae and macroalgae species were treated with various acids and their catalytic performances were compared. After determining the most efficient catalyst type, the effect of different reaction parameters on hydrogen production was investigated. For this, methanolysis experiments were carried out at different NaBH4 concentrations, different catalyst amounts and various experimental temperatures. Today, where the search for renewable and clean energy sources that can replace fossil energy sources is gaining momentum, the evaluation of waste materials with no economic value in this field is very interesting in terms of providing double benefits. In this study, it is seen that such materials can be used successfully in this field. In addition, the catalytic performances of algae species are given comparatively and the results are interpreted.
