HYDROGEN PRODUCTION METHOD

摘要

In producing hydrogen by reforming organic matter, excess moisture vapour is added to an exhaust gas (g0) containing carbon monoxide generated by a metallurgical furnace and a shift reaction is carried out, thereby constituting a mixed gas (g) containing hydrogen produced by the shift reaction, and carbonic acid gas, and water vapour not consumed by the shift reaction. Said mixed gas (g) is brought into contact with organic matter, bringing about a reforming reaction which reduces the molecular weight of the organic matter, and the product of the reforming reaction is steam reformed, thereby producing hydrogen.
