This paper investigates a novel method for the production of hydrogen from carbonaceous materials such as coal and biomass materials. This process, referred to as the Bromination Process, consists of a two-step cycle. The carbonaceous material (CH) is reacted with bromine and water at about 250-300/degree/C to form an aqueous solution of hydrobromic acid and CO/sub 2/. The aqueous hydrobromic acid is electrolyzed to form hydrogen at a voltage less than that required for the electrolysis of water. 9 refs.
