FIELD: methods of treatment of anaerobically decomposable materials, refuse or waste water; separation of carbon dioxide from other gaseous agents obtained at decomposition of organic materials.
SUBSTANCE: proposed method includes forming of reaction mixture containing anaerobically decomposable organic materials, application of electric potential to it and accumulation of gas. For obtaining of gas at high amount of hydrogen and low amount of methane as compared with gases formed spontaneously from said organic materials, use is made of intermittent generation of electric current at intervals dictated by content of hydrogen and/or methane detected in gas obtained from organic material.
EFFECT: increased productivity in hydrogen; reduction of time required for processing organic materials.
