A hydrogen suppressing, flameless, heat generating chemical composition including magnesium or a magnesium-containing alloy, a hydrogen suppressor or eliminator, particulate carbon, a metallic salt including a cation and an anion and water. The anion is selected from the group consisting of silicate, carbonate, bicarbonate, phosphate, borate, perborate, percarbonate, perphosphate, persulfate, nitrate, nitrite, ferrate, permanganate, and stannate and combinations thereof. The magnesium or magnesium-containing alloy, hydrogen suppressor or eliminator, particulate carbon, metallic salt and water are each present in a proportional amount to generate sufficient heat to heat water, medical supplies and/or consumable rations. |

1. A hydrogen suppressing, flameless, heat generating chemical composition comprising:
pure magnesium; a hydrogen suppressor or eliminator selected from the group consisting of: γ-MnO2, oxides of ruthenium, PtO, IrO2, RhO2, Fe2O3, Co3O4, NiO, Ag2O, Au2O3, TiO2, ZrO2, HfO2, Ta2O5, PbO2, and combinations thereof; particulate carbon; a hydrogen overvoltage suppressor; a flowing agent; a reaction activator selected from the group consisting of: alkali metal halides, magnesium halide salts, thermally and electrically conducting, high surface area synthetic graphite, conducting carbon, conducting graphite, carbon and mixtures thereof; a metallic salt comprising a cation, wherein said cation is selected from the group consisting of calcium, magnesium and potassium; and an anion, wherein said anion is selected from the group consisting of silicate, carbonate, bicarbonate, phosphate, borate, perborate, percarbonate, perphosphate, persulfate, nitrate, nitrite, ferrate, permanganate, and stannate and combinations thereof; and water, wherein said pure magnesium, hydrogen suppressor or eliminator, particulate carbon, hydrogen overvoltage suppressor, flowing agent, reaction activator, metallic salt and water are each present in a proportional amount to generate sufficient heat to heat water, medical supplies and/or consumable rations and the chemical composition is placed in a reaction mixture bag made to be hydrophilic by dipping said reaction mixture bag in an aqueous solution containing a surfactant or by applying a dab of said aqueous solution containing said surfactant on a side of said reaction mixture bag. |
