experiment example

[0036] Experimental example: the experiment of liquid metal assisted aluminum plate reacting with aqueous solution to generate hydrogen

[0037] The liquid metal is gallium-indium alloy (90% gallium, 10 indium), and the aluminum plate is 6061 aluminum plate. Use a spray gun to spray a layer of liquid metal on the surface of the aluminum plate, and recover the liquid metal with alcohol after a few seconds. Drop the aqueous solution (5% NaCl aqueous solution in the experiment) onto the corroded area of ​​the aluminum plate, and it can be seen that a large number of small bubbles are generated, that is, H 2 , and the amount of hydrogen generated is significant, and the process is very stable. The amount of hydrogen produced can be regulated by corroding the surface area of ​​the aluminum plate with the liquid metal. Since gallium indium alloy has a corrosive effect on aluminum, it can avoid the formation of a protective film on the surface of aluminum, thereby ensuring the conti...

Abstract

The invention relates to a liquid metal assisted aluminum block direct hydrogen production device. The liquid metal assisted aluminum block direct hydrogen production device comprises an aluminum block, a liquid metal tank, a flushing agent tank, a hydrogen collecting tank, a waste liquid recycling pond, a rotary sprayer and a lifting table. The rotary sprayer is connected with the liquid metal tank and the flushing agent tank through pipelines, the aluminum block is arranged below the rotary sprayer and placed on the lifting table, and the lifting table is located in the waste liquid recycling pond. According to the liquid metal assisted aluminum block direct hydrogen production device, direct, continuous and rapid hydrogen production of solid aluminum in any shape at room temperature is achieved for the first time, it is not needed to prepare aluminum and liquid metal into solid phase alloy or liquid phase alloy in advance in the continuous hydrogen production process, and potential risks of explosions generated by storage damp-affected hydrogen production when the alloy is prepared in advance in former methods are avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of hydrogen production, and in particular relates to a hydrogen production device using aluminum blocks and its application. Background technique [0002] As a clean energy, hydrogen is an energy source with extremely high power generation efficiency and has great development prospects. The use of artificial methods to produce hydrogen has long been highly valued by the global academic and industrial circles. The classic method of obtaining hydrogen is generally to decompose aqueous solution by means of light and electricity, but its high cost, high energy consumption, slow speed and poor controllability have always become a huge technical bottleneck for the popularization and application of hydrogen energy. Undoubtedly, the earth is rich in seawater and has huge reserves. If hydrogen can be produced directly from aqueous solution at low cost, the current energy crisis will be greatly alleviated. So far, obtaining h...
