Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a separator that enables the hydrogen produced by using the CO+H2O=>CO2+H2 reactions from the carbon monoxide gas, which is formed in all the factories where fossil fuels are used and released into the air as waste from the chimneys, to be removed from the environment in order to be used as fuel and to obtain 99% purity.

State of the Art

Today, the waste gases emitted by many industrial entities have had and continue to have many negative consequences for the environment. The reason for this is mainly the use of fossil fuels in such factories.

Fossil fuels are formed as a result of the decomposition of the remains of dead living things in an oxygen-free environment for millions of years. Oil, natural gas and coal, which stand out as a natural energy source, are among the fossil fuels. Usage of fossil fuels as an energy source serves humanity seriously. However, the intense use of fossil fuels does more harm than good. One of the most important of these damages is that the environmentally harmful gases that come out as a result of burning these fuels to obtain energy from fossil fuels disrupt the balance in the ecological system. Therefore, the entire world has started to look for ways to find and use different energy sources instead of fossil fuels as an energy source or to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels. One of the ways to reduce dependence on fossil fuels is the process of obtaining hydrogen gas from the gases released to the nature as waste from factory chimneys through various methods and introducing it into the system as a new energy source. Hydrogen plays an important role in all strategies to reduce carbon emissions and improve the air quality of urbanized areas. Use of hydrogen as an energy source in the world helps eliminating concerns about energy security, global climate change and air quality. Hydrogen can be obtained from a variety of primary sources available domestically, including fossil fuels, renewable energy sources, and nuclear energy. Another important benefit is that the by-products of recycle are generally completely harmless to human health and the environment.

Fossil fuels are not a renewable energy type, and their consumption is being tried to be reduced by various projects both in Turkey and in the world. Hydrogen and fuel cells have the potential to be used in a wide range of applications in nearly all industries. Hydrogen can be used as an energy carrier for a variety of end-use applications such as stationary power, backup power, special vehicles, transportation and portable power etc. Due to the wide usage area of hydrogen gas and the increasing need for the same day by day, the development of new research and development methods to obtain pure hydrogen gas from waste gases has completely turned into a necessity in order to reduce the use of fossil fuels in said cement factories.

In the research made on the subject, an application with a title “a separator used in the production of hydrogen gas from waste gases in cement factories” numbered 2019/17895 was found. The application particularly relates to the use of the separator developed so as to obtain pure hydrogen gas from harmful and greenhouse effect gases released to nature as waste from chimneys as a result of intensive use of fossil fuels in factories operating in the cement sector and to ensure that this hydrogen is used both as a new energy source within the system and to store the same and pave the way for its use as a renewable energy source in other sectors. This application relates only to alloys in a magnetic field.

Aim of the Invention

The invention aims to solve the abovementioned disadvantages by being inspired from the current conditions.

The main aim of the invention is to use the separator developed so as to obtain pure hydrogen gas from harmful and greenhouse effect gases released to nature as waste from chimneys as a result of intensive use of fossil fuels in factories operating in the cement sector and to ensure that this hydrogen is used both as a new energy source within the system and to store the same and pave the way for its use as a renewable energy source in other sectors. Another aim of the invention is to convert carbon monoxide (CO) to carbon dioxide (CO2) by chemical reaction and to obtain hydrogen (H2) gas that can be used as an energy source.

Detailed Description of the Invention

In this detailed description, the preferred embodiments of the inventive separator (5) are described by means of examples only for clarifying the subject matter.

It relates to a separator (5) that enables the magnetic field (8) to increase the attraction of hydrogen for hydrogen recycling. The separator (5) distinctively includes the catalyst (3) positioned together with the sieve (1) at the point where the water is sprayed, and the hydrogen outlet (6) positioned on the separator (5) to take the hydrogen output from the chimney (4).

CO+H2O=>CO2+H2

Carbon monoxide (CO) in the above reaction is one of the gases released to nature as waste, especially in coal burning factories. Both carbon monoxide (CO) is converted into carbon dioxide (CO2) by chemical reaction and hydrogen (H2) gas that can be used as an energy source is obtained.

The reaction takes place when hot water, catalyst (3) and carbon monoxide (CO) come into contact at the same time in said production. Here, the catalyst (3) acts as a catalyzer that enables the reaction to take place quickly. The catalyst (3) is found inside the sieve (1) and said sieve (1) is mounted to the lower part of the inventive separator (5) with sieve connection elements (2). In order to ensure this triple contact, the catalyst (3), which is a catalyzer, is placed in the chimney (4) by means of the sieves (1) in the separator (5) in the cooling tower part. The inventive separator (5) is placed in the chimney (4) with the separator connection elements (7). The separator (5) is preferably composed of a palladium silver alloy.

In order to ensure all the gases to come out of the chimney (4) by passing through the separator (5), the magnetic field creation feature of palladium in the inventive separator (5) is utilized. Electrical support up to 700 Watts where necessary can be provided to help the separator (5) in creating a magnetic field. The hydrogen (H2) gas formed as a result of the reaction is directed towards the chimney outlet by moving together with all the gases in the chimney. In the meantime, hydrogen (H2) gas is separated from other waste gases and is removed from the environment by being separated from the hydrogen outlet (6) located in the separator outlet (9) section by the structure of the separator (5) which consists of an alloy (8) of palladium (85%-99%) and silver (1%- 15%), only passes hydrogen (H2) gas. The separated hydrogen (H2) gas is reintroduced to the separator (5) in order to undergo a second purification process, and the purity of the hydrogen (H2) gas is tried to be increased. In the final stage, hydrogen (H2) gas becomes ready for use as a renewable energy source and can be used as a fuel in the system or stored.
