PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN OUT OF CARBON-CONTAINING MATERIAL Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC C01B3/02 C10J3/00 

FIELD: power industry; methods of devices for generation of electric power using carbon-containing fuels.

SUBSTANCE: the invention is pertaining to methods of devices for generation of electric power using carbon-containing fuels, more particular, to production of hydrogen and connected with it generation of electric power by a coal gasification. Hydrogen is produced out of solid or liquid carbon-containing fuels. The fuel is gasified by hydrogen producing an enriched with methane gaseous product, which then is introduced in the reaction with water and calcium oxide gaining hydrogen and calcium carbonate. The calcium carbonate may be continuously removed from the zone of the reaction producing hydrogen and the carbonization and to anneal it for regeneration of the calcium oxide, which may be repeatedly introduced into the zone of the reaction producing hydrogen and the carbonization. The method is realized in the device containing a reactor of gasification and a reactor of the carbonization for production of hydrogen. The given invention allows to use the produced hydrogen at the stage of the fuel gasification to ensure it with electric power.

EFFECT: the invention ensures production of hydrogen, which may be used at the stage of the fuel gasification for generation of electric power.
