Hydrogen reactor system for continuously producing hydrogen and alumina with pressure and temperature regulation and control

Abstract

Disclosed is a hydrogen reactor system having a hydrogen reactor configured to enable a chemical reaction involving aluminum and water to produce hydrogen and alumina. In accordance with an embodiment, the hydrogen reactor system also has a pressure regulator configured to regulate and control pressure inside the hydrogen reactor during the chemical reaction, a temperature regulator configured to regulate and control temperature inside the hydrogen reactor during the chemical reaction, and an aluminum slurry feed regulator configured to regulate and control a continuous feed of the aluminum and the water as an aluminum slurry into the hydrogen reactor during the chemical reaction, thereby enabling the hydrogen and the alumina to be continuously produced at a controlled rate. The aforementioned regulation and control enables the pressure and the temperature to be purposely operated in an elevated manner, which can increase purity of the hydrogen and the alumina being continuously produced.
