Provided are a hydrogen production process and a reactor for dehydrogenation whereby it is possible to mix hydrogen with a raw material for a dehydrogenation reaction easily and simply and suppress a reduction in the performance of a dehydrogenation reaction catalyst when hydrogen is produced by combining the dehydrogenation reaction of organic hydrides or the like with a hydrogen separation membrane. The reactor for dehydrogenation of an organic compound, the reactor being a flow-type reactor, comprising: a hydrogen separation membrane selectively permeable to hydrogen; and a dehydrogenation catalyst for promoting a dehydrogenation reaction of an organic compound which can release hydrogen upon the dehydrogenation reaction, and including: a reaction side area through which the organic compound can flow and which includes the dehydrogenation catalyst; and a permeation side area which is separated from the reaction side area by the hydrogen separation membrane and through which hydrogen that has passed through the hydrogen separation membrane can flow, the reactor for dehydrogenation of an organic compound including, in this order along a flow direction of the organic compound: a part B in which the hydrogen separation membrane is present and the dehydrogenation catalyst is not present; and a part A in which both of the hydrogen separation membrane and the dehydrogenation catalyst are present. |
