Abstract

See full text

A system and method of efficiently producing ultrapure hydrogen from ammonia using a single energy efficient processing step. Ammonia is introduced into reaction cells. Each reaction cell has a first tube of hydrogen permeable material that is concentrically positioned within a second tube of hydrogen impermeable material. The concentric orientation between the first tube and the second tube creates a very narrow reaction gap space between the two tubes. The reaction cell is heated to an operational temperature that is efficient for the heat cracking of ammonia and which makes the first tube highly permeable to hydrogen. Ammonia is introduced into the gap space, wherein the ammonia cracks into nitrogen and hydrogen. The hydrogen contacts the first tube and permeates through the first tube. Accordingly, the cracking of ammonia and the separation of hydrogen occurs in the same reaction cell at the same time using the same heat energy.
