Research and Development of Solid Fuel Compositions for the Production of Hydrogen

  • Published:
Moscow University Chemistry Bulletin Aims and scope

Abstract

The pyrotechnic base of solid fuels of different compositions is investigated in order to produce hydrogen in the mode of the forced convection of combustion products. Potassium borohydride is used as the fuel, and metal oxides and hydroxides are used as the oxidizing agents. In each case, the formula for the fuel with the optimal percentage of components is developed. The studies have shown that among the metal oxides used as oxidizing agents (CuO, Fe2O3, MnO2, and MoO3), MnO2 has the highest gas productivity. When metal hydroxides Ni(OH)3, Al(OH)3, and H3BO3 are used as oxidizing agents, Ni(OH)3 can provide the maximum gas production.
