<p>A base-facilitated reaction for the production of hydrogen from biomass or component(s)thereof. Hydrogen is produced from a reaction of naturally occurring organicmatter with a base to form a bicarbonate or carbonate compound as a by-product.The base-facilitated hydrogen-producing reactions are thermodynamicallymore spontaneous than conventional-type reformation reactions and are ableto produce hydrogen gas at less extreme reaction conditions than conventional-typereformation reactions. The preferred reactants are biomass, components ofbiomass, and mixtures of components of biomass. Especially preferred are base-facilitatedreactions in which hydrogen is produced from carbohydrates or mixtures of carbohydrates,include monosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides, and cellulose.The instant reactions can occur in the liquid phase or solid.</p> |
