Abstract:
1. A method of generating hydrogen gas, the method comprising: inserting a reactant material into a reactor, said reactant material including at least one of sodium silicide powder or sodium silica gel; adding an aqueous solution via a solution inlet fill port to the reactant material in the reactor to generate hydrogen gas; routing the generated hydrogen gas from the reactor via a hydrogen outlet port to an industrial application; filtering at least one of the reactant material, the aqueous solution, the hydrogen gas, or the reaction waste product, cleaning the at least one hydrogen separation membrane, chemical filter, desiccant filter, coarse media filter, dryer filter, or secondary reactor chamber with a portion of the aqueous solution; and directing the portion of the aqueous solution to areas of the reactor to recapture a waste product resulting from the combination of the reactant material and the aqueous solution.
