Abstract :
This study proposes a new method and management systems without using catalyst for continuously generating hydrogen gas in an aqueous sodium chloride solution by the hydrolysis of a waste magnesium sample. Hydrogen generation was accelerated by applying sodium chloride and some acids such as acetic acid. As the acetic acid increased and both of the rate and cumulative amount of hydrogen evolution increased. It was indicated that the hydrogen generation rates using acetic acid and sodium chloride were high compared with those using other platinum titanium net and stainless-steel net catalyzed, respectively, and the acetic acid worked as an excellent catalyst for releasing hydrogen from the sodium chloride solution of hydrolysis reaction.
