An automatic high-pressure H2 production system based on the HCO3- enhanced Al-H2O reaction is established, which can generate high-pressure H2 from renewable resources without using compressing facilities. It has a high exothermic reaction and self-supported energy requirement.
For the practical application, storage, and transportation of hydrogen energy, compressed high-pressure H-2 is generally required, which consumes large amounts of energy. In this research, an automatic high-pressure H-2 production system based on the HCO3- enhanced Al-H2O reaction is established, in which, over 40 MPa H2 at 300 degrees C (25 MPa at 25 degrees C) is successfully obtained without using any compressing facilities. Energy balance calculation reveals that although this reaction requires a high temperature, it is highly exothermic (145.9 MJ/kg H-2 ). Since heating the reactants to the desired reaction temperature only needs an energy of 55.3 MJ/kg H-2 , the energy requirement of this reaction can be self-supported. In addition, waste Al-can is further tested for the high-pressure H-2 generation to realize a waste material recovery simultaneously, and over 40 MPa H-2 at 300 degrees C can also be obtained with the addition of Na2CO3. This research proposes a new way of automatic high-pressure H-2 production from renewable resources, which can promote the practical large-scale hydrogen energy utilization.
