Title:
METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN AND OTHER PRODUCTS AND DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT THIS METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/124189
Kind Code:
A4
Abstract:
Hydrogen is produced from waste aluminium by its reaction with water in the presence of sodium hydroxide as a catalyst. In addition to hydrogen, products of the reaction are also aluminium hydroxide, sodium chloride, heat and potentially electric energy. The reaction occurs in the reactor (1), and hydrogen is collected in a low-pressure hydrogen tank (3). The substance of hydrogen production, according to the invention, is that gas is successively removed from the reactor (1) and/or other accessory devices with the use of a vacuum pump (4) at a minimum pressure of 0.5 kPa before the reaction, then the reactor is filled with hydrogen of a minimum purity of 99.5%, the gas is pumped away again with a subsequent filling with hydrogen of a minimum purity of 99.5% again to a positive pressure of at least 0.1 MPa. Gas removed from the reactor and/or accessory equipment with the use of the vacuum pump (4) is exhausted to a chimney (5) and dispersed into the atmosphere. The subject of the invention is a method and device for 'the safe production of hydrogen at an industrial level and' other products as well as their purification for suitable industrial application as raw materials for other industrial production.
