A CONTINUOUS SYSTEM FOR PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN

摘要

A continuous system for the production of hydrogen by catalytic electrochemical decomposition of water and regeneration of the catalysts used in the production, the system including at least one reaction vessel containing a catalyst material, the at least one reaction vessel having at least one inlet and at least one outlet, the at least one reaction vessel operable in a production mode in which steam is input into the reaction vessel and product mixture is output and a regeneration mode in which gas including at least one global warming constituent is input into the reaction vessel and regeneration off gas is output, wherein once the system has reached operation conditions in the production mode, the input steam is heated prior to entry into the at least one reaction vessel by heat transfer with at least one of the product mixture or the regeneration off gas.
