CARBONLESS DISSOCIATION OF WATER AND ACCOMPANYING PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC C01B13/02 C01B3/02 C25B1/02 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: inventions relate to a device and a method of hydrogen and oxygen production and may be used in chemical industry and power engineering. The device comprises (a) a cathode unit, including a cathode electrode 3 and a nozzle 24 of the electrode, a surrounding cathode electrode 3, besides, the nozzle 24 of the electrode has the first wall 28 and the second wall 29, which form the first duct 13 and the second duct 11; and (b) at least one anode unit, comprising an anode electrode 2 and an electrode nozzle, which surrounds the anode electrode 2 and forms at least one duct. Power is supplied to the cathode electrode 3 in order to develop electric current between the cathode electrode 3 and at least one anode electrode 2 to generate an electric retaining field 5 induced by magnetic field. The flow of inert gas is supplied via the first duct 13 into the electric retaining field 5 in order to create plasma around a tip 14 of the cathode electrode 3. The flow of the vapour steam is sent via the second duct 11 into the electric retaining field 5 and plasma around the tip 14 of the cathode electrode 3 for the purpose to produce elementary hydrogen 19 and oxygen 20.

EFFECT: device and method make it possible to reduce costs in production of oxygen and hydrogen and to use produced gases for generation of power, thus preventing consumption of any fossil fuels accompanied with discharge of carbon-bearing substances.
