Title:
PROCESS FOR PRODUCING HYDROGEN
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1980/002162
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A process for producing hydrogen by electrolysis of an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide solution using an electrolytic cell wherein a gas- and liquid-permeable anode and a gas- and liquid-permeable cathode are connected to respective sides of a fluorine-containing cation-exchange membrane. This process enables the use of an inexpensive metal as a material for the electrolytic cell, and the production of hydrogen stably for a long period of time at a low voltage.
