Hydrogen, production volume

The hydrogen product obtained has a purity between 97 and 99.9 volume %. The balance is methane, and the by-product of the process is CO2. 

The key determinants of future cost competitiveness of a-Si H PV technology are a-Si H deposition rates, module production yields, stabilized module efficiencies, production volume, and module design. Reported a-Si H deposition rates vary by more than a factor of 10, but most researchers report that the high quaUty films necessary for high stabilized efficiencies require low deposition rates often due to high hydrogen dhution of the Si (and Ge) source gases (see Semiconductors, amorphous). 

The product is hydrogenated in 4,000 cc of ethanol at room temperature and under normal atmospheric pressure with a catalyst prepared In the usual manner from 400 g of Raney nickel alloy. The calculated amount of hydrogen is taken up in approximately 75 hours. After filtration and evaporation to a small volume, the residue Is distributed between 1,000 cc of chloroform and water each. The chloroform solution is then dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to a small volume. Precipitation of the hydrogenation product with petroleum ether yields an amorphous white powder which Is filtered by suction, washed with petroleum ether and dried at 50°C In a high vacuum. 1. athyl-2-podophyllinic acid hydrazide is obtained in a practically quantitative yield. 

Older methods use a liquid phase process (Figure 10-11). ° New gas-phase processes operate at higher temperatures with noble metal catalysts. Using high temperatures accelerates the reaction (faster rate). The hydrogenation of benzene to cyclohexane is characterized by a highly exothermic reaction and a significant decrease in the product volume... 

The rate of H2 production by one unit of photobioreactor s volume is not useful for estimation of strain capabilities or for measurements of efficiency of light energy conversion. However, it is useful unit of measurements for optimization of hydrogen production by particular photobioreactor. From practical point of view it does not matter how much cells are in the photobioreactor or how much hydrogen is produced by one unit of illuminated surface. The rate of hydrogen production by the whole photobioreactor is of first importance. For a comparison of different photobioreactors it is better to express rate of hydrogen photoproduction per unit of its volume. So, it is practical unit for estimation of actual hydrogen photoproduction. 

Available statistics or market surveys about hydrogen capture the real production volumes only partially, as they usually consider only captive production, i.e., the directly produced hydrogen (e.g., in steam reformers), as for instance in refineries or fertiliser plants.1 Besides this, hydrogen is produced in significant amounts as a by-product from the manufacture of various chemical products, such as chlorine or ethylene, as well as from refinery processes (see also Section 10.9). Where this hydrogen cannot be internally utilised further, for instance for hydrogenation in... 

Under the assumption that CCS will be widely applied from 2025 on, a remarkable reduction of C02 emissions could be achieved in the transport sector by hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles over the next few decades, even if hydrogen was produced mainly on the basis of fossil fuels. In the case of a predominantly coal-based production mix without CCS, C02 emissions from hydrogen production will exceed those saved through its use in the transport sector. If around 50% of total hydrogen production was to depend on CCS from coal gasification, the total C02 volumes to be stored in... 

This Ceramic Transactions volume captures 24 key papers from the conference, organized into the following chapters International Overviews Hydrogen Storage Hydrogen Production Hydrogen Delivery and Leakage Detection/Safety. 

The processor was operated at atmospheric pressure and at 117—130 °C or 200 °C. A methanol-water mixture (1 1.5 molar ratio) was fed at 0.1 cm /h using a syringe pump. The reactors loaded with powder and pellets had comparable results, but the researchers preferred the powder packed bed form for its smaller volume and mass. The best hydrogen production was obtained at low temperatures, providing, on a dry gas basis, 70% hydrogen, 0.5% carbon monoxide, and residual carbon dioxide. Methanol conversion or thermal efficiency was not reported. 

If many products are formed, we sometimes have many possible definitions such as one based on carbon products, hydrogen products, a particular functional group, etc. It is also common to base these on weights or volumes if these are measured quantities in a particular process. Another and quite different definition is to take the ratio of particular desired and undesired products, a quantity that goes from zero to infinity this definition becomes ambiguous for other than simple reaction sets, and we will not use it here. 

R D on Hydrogen Production from Steel Mills. This project is aimed at capturing the considerable volume of hydrogen gas which can be obtained as a by-product steel production. R D will focus on the purification process of fuel from coke oven gas to an acceptable level for fuel cell utilisation. Work is sponsored by METI, the Japan Research and Development Centre for Metals and Nippon Steel. The budget allocations for 2001-2003 total 1.6 billion the 2003 allocation is 549 million.
