Industrial use of hydrogen

Hydrogen has been used as industrial gas for decades. Hence, besides its potential use as a future automotive fuel, the conventional use of hydrogen as an important 

11 Adsorption processes make use of the fact that the adsorbent s loadability depends on pressure and temperature. The process is conducted such that the gas mixture to be separated is fed through an adsorbent packed bed whereby easily adsorbable gas components accumulate on the surface and those components that are harder or impossible to adsorb pass through the packed bed.

It is expected that the hydrogen demand for crude-oil processing will increase further, the reason for this being twofold on the one hand, through an increasing

Industrial use of hydrogen has experienced a few accidents, which subsequently have been useful in defining norms and procedures. One occurred in a narrow Stockholm street in 1983, where 13.5 kg of H2 escaped from a set of 20-MPa pressure tanks with defect cormections and exploded (Fig. 5.4a) 16 people were injured, and 10 cars and the adjacent building were heavily damaged. This accident has recently been modelled by computational fluid dynamics methods, giving the distribution of H2 velocities and concentra-... 

Alkenes are said to be unsaturated , and they can be reacted with hydrogen to form saturated alkanes. However, benzene is much more reluctant to be hydrogenated to form cyclohexane. Explain why this is. Give one major industrial use of hydrogenation. Compare and contrast the chemistry of benzene with that of saturated and unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon compounds.

The current industrial use of hydrogen will also be enhanced by the introduction of the Fusion-Hydrogen energy system. Today the two major uses of hydrogen are the upgrading of petroleum and the production of ammonia. 

Hydrogenation of fats and oils in the food industry, use of hydrogen in glass manufacture, and in cutting and welding further illustrate the broad spectrum of applications.
