Influencing Factors and Inhibition of Hydrogen Produced by Aluminum and Water Reaction

doi:10.12068/j.issn.1005-3026.2018.05.025

Abstract

Abstract: Aluminum particles could react with water and produce hydrogen， and there is the risk of hydrogen explosion.Through the aluminum water reaction tester， the effect of different mass ratio of aluminum to water and different temperature on the hydrogen production and maximum production rate were systematically studied. A new method， PSM， is proposed to suppress hydrogen production from aluminum hydrate. The aluminum particles before and after the reaction were characterized by SEM， XRD and EDS. The mechanism of the reaction is clarified. The low cost PSM method can effectively inhibit hydrogen production， and it also could provide the inherent safety method for the hydrogen inhibition in some engineering project.

Key words: aluminum particle, hydrogen, hydrogen producted by alumimum and water, hydrogen inhibition
