Process for generating hydrogen. [reaction of iron oxide with alkali metal hydroxide]
Patent
·
OSTI ID:7189197
Magnetic iron oxide is reacted with an alkali metal hydroxide to produce hydrogen as a product. Alkali metal ferrite is also produced as a product and is subjected to reaction with water to produce ferric oxide and the alkali metal hydroxide used in the first reaction. The ferric oxide is decomposed by heat such that magnetic iron oxide and oxygen are products of the decomposition. By carrying out the reactions in the appropriate order, a closed thermochemical process for splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen is provided. 6 claims, 1 drawing figure.
