Fukuoka Institute of Technology: Hydrogen generation from aluminum: 1g of aluminum and 1 liter of hydrogen
Fukuoka Institute of Technology
Professor Kenji Takahara, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
Hydrogen is generated only with aluminum and water.
The laboratory of Professor Kenji Takahara of Fukuoka Institute of Technology succeeded in this generation method.
The reaction formula published by the laboratory is as follows.
2Al ＋ 3H20 → Al2O3 ＋ 3H2
Looking at the reaction formula, it is not so complicated.
Aluminum and water produce aluminum oxide and hydrogen.
Fukuoka Institute of Technology New Technology:
At Fukuoka Institute of Technology, waste aluminum waste
Grind with a special device,
Process into finer particles.
Conventional aluminum is No:
Aluminum has the property of easily reacting with oxygen.
Therefore, the aluminum surface oxidizes immediately.
Therefore, aluminum does not easily react with water.
This aluminum is OK:
Fine particle aluminum processed by the plateau laboratory.
There are fine cracks in the particles,
Water invades along this crack,
Decomposition of water molecules progresses,
After that, hydrogen is generated.
1 g of aluminum and 1 liter of hydrogen:
This Fukuoka Institute of Technology technology
With only 1g of aluminum and water
It is possible to make about 1 liter of hydrogen.
Realizing a hydrogen society:
From waste
Without emitting CO2, which is a greenhouse gas
Can generate hydrogen,
It’s an amazing technology that is also environmentally friendly.
