INDUSTRIAL HYDROGEN

The history of the production of hydrogen starts at the very beginning of chemistry. Indeed the foundation of modern chemistry, Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4) was dependent on hydrogen being sourced to it from the reaction with water. The number and methods and uses of hydrogen would fill an encyclopedia and 98% of it would not be of any use to those of you who are seeking the UNDERSTANDING and the KNOWLEDGE required for the PRODUCTION of hydrogen. This book covers the production of Hydrogen on an INDUSTRIAL SCALE. Which means LARGE. The great, great majority of the methods in this book can be made and used on a daily basis on a BENCH SCALE. That means 3 feet instead of 300 feet in size.

We are not republishing and distributing this book for the the heck of it. This book as well as all of the other new books we are producing under license were CAREFULLY selected by Steven Harris and Roy McAlister. This methods in this book cover 85% of the modern methods of hydrogen production. It even includes the production of H2 from Bacteria, in such large amounts it makes the blue-green algae hype look like the junk it is. This book is a treasure. Keep in mind, its not the only gold you need to have in your treasure chest, but it is a great piece. This book is written in SIMPLE English. The chemistry and math is NOT complex.

The diagram on the left is a diagram of a classic iron steam reactor. Iron and steam form Hydrogen. Large amounts of it. This reactor can be 300feet tall, it can be 3 feet tall. Ok..maybe 4 feet. You can heat and operate it with natural gas, propane or charcoal. It is made of brick, firebrick, high temp insulation, iron balls, iron tubes and a little chewing gum. No expensive catalysts or precious metals or silly membranes that get contaminated. Iron plus steam equals iron oxide and hydrogen. Every time you see rust on iron, you saw where hydrogen was produced. Iron can rust from oxygen in the air, but it does it very very slowly compared to rusting from contact with water ( H2O). Where there is rust, there was hydrogen produced, every time. The Iron ( Fe) grabs the Oxygen ( O ) from Water ( H2O) and it forms FeO or Fe2O3 or Fe3O4 and the Hydrogen ( H2) gets liberated. This reaction can happen slowly at room temperature (or even in the artic) or it can happen faster at the temperature of a natural gas flame, about 1800F, bright red temperature. This temperature is not hard to reach and ceramic kilns that artists use operate at a much higher temperature.

If you want to know what A - P are so you can think about making one of these for yourself then you need to get the book. You can do this with natural gas, fire brick, some iron tubes, a bunch of steel hex nuts and a pressure cooker for a steam source. We will be showing you this on video in the near future.
