Catalytic production of hydrogen, useful as supplement fuel for fossil fuels, comprises heating metallic catalyst under oxygen atmosphere, introducing the catalyst into an aqueous solution and exposing the catalyst to light source

摘要

Catalytic production of hydrogen from an aqueous solution using a light source, comprises thermally treating a metallic catalyst for a period of 5-60 minutes at 500-1000[deg] C under an oxygen atmosphere, introducing the catalyst into the aqueous solution, exposing the catalyst to the light source and discharging the hydrogen containing gas existing above the aqueous solution from this water free area. An independent claim is included for the complete metal catalyst for the production of hydrogen from an aqueous solution using a light source, comprising (in wt.%) chromium (15-35); iron and nickel (minimum 60) and other elements (manganese, molybdenum, copper and silicon) (not more than 10).
