A closed system for obtaining hydrogen from water is provided by combining a first step of obtaining hydrogen by reacting water and ferrous halide, a second step of converting triiron tetraoxide produced as a by-product in the first step to ferrous sulfate, a third step of obtaining oxygen and by-products by thermally decomposing said ferrous sulfate, and a fourth step of returning said by-products by thermally decomposing said ferrous sulfate, and a fourth step of returning said by-products obtained in the third step to any of the previous steps.
An improved system for generating hydrogen fuel for use in an energy-producing device such as a fuel cell or heat engine is disclosed. The hydrogen is produced at a faster rate by reacting particles of an activated iron reactant with heated water in a fluidized bed-type reactor. The reaction results in an increased rate of hydrogen production along with spent metal oxide particles which are easily and cheaply regenerable.
Describes a process for controlling the polymerization and cross-linked density of electrophoretic gel products useful for separation of bioorganic molecules, which process does not use initiators common to processes of the art. Electron beam polymerized gels afford the desired advantages of being ultra thin and having a high electrophoretic resolution with programmable porosity profiles.
