Method for continuous production of hydrogen by magnesium-containing base materials

2:

• The method according to claim 1, wherein the supplying of the pH-lowering liquid (F) to the reactor (4) takes place continuously.

3:

• The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises the step of:
• stirring the suspension (S) and the pH-lowering liquid (F) in the reactor (4) with a reactor mixer (7), wherein preferably the stirring is carried out continuously and wherein preferably a rotational speed of the reactor mixer (7) is constant.

4:

• The method according to claim 3, wherein a rotational speed of the reactor mixer (7) is controlled so that the reaction of the base material (b) and the pH-lowering liquid (F) to hydrogen (H) proceeds at a predetermined reaction rate.

5:

• The method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of:
• determining a mass flow of the hydrogen (H) discharged from the reactor (4).

6:

• The method according to claim 5, wherein the mass flow of the hydrogen (H) discharged from the reactor (4) is controlled at least by adjusting the supply of the suspension (S) to the reactor (4) according to a mass flow setpoint.

7:

• The method according to claim 5, wherein the supply of the pH-lowering liquid (F) is controlled as a function of the supply of the suspension (S).

8:

• The method according to claim 1, wherein heat generated in the reactor (4) during the reaction is dissipated, for which purpose a temperature of a vessel wall (14) of the reactor (4) is preferably controlled, for which purpose cooling fluid is preferably supplied to the vessel wall (14) by means of a heat exchanger (13), and in particular an inlet temperature and/or an outlet temperature of the heat exchanger (13) represents the measured variable of the temperature control.

9:

• The method according to claim 1, further comprising the steps of:
• removing residual material from the reactor (4), in particular by means of an immersion tube (18) in the reactor (4);
• recycling the removed residual material into the reactor (4).

10:

• The method according to claim 1, wherein a fill level of the suspension (S) in the suspension container (2) is determined and a base material (B) and/or carrier fluid (W) are supplied to the suspension container (2) as a function of the determined fill level of the suspension (S), in particular when the fill level falls below a defined fill level limit value.

11:

• The method according to claim 1, wherein the suspension (S) is supplied to the reactor (4) via a flooding 3/2-way valve (21), wherein a water line (22) for flooding the reactor (4) is connected to the flooding 3/2-way valve (21).

13:

• The device (1) according to claim 12, wherein a mass flow meter (9) for measuring a mass flow of the hydrogen (W) is connected with the gas outlet (8) of the reactor (4).
