Patent ID: 11137153

Abstract:
A product for controlling humidity in an environment is a composite of micro-galvanic couples with a desiccant. When the humidity in the environment rises above deliquescent's unique deliquescence relative humidity (DRH), the deliquescent substance dissolves into a solution in response to an increase in humidity in the environment above said (mutual) deliquescence relative humidity point of said deliquescent substance(s), and, the micro-galvanic couples react with said solution into a metallic compound and hydrogen. Whereby at least some to all of the dissolved deliquescent returns to solid phase, and the humidity in the environment is maintained at or near the DRH. The micro-galvanic couples can be produced in a molten salt electrolysis bath. Electro-catalytic hydrogenation achieved by reacting a reactant with said micro-galvanic couples into a metallic compound and hydrogen, whereby at least some to all of hydrogen hydrogenates the reactant into a hydrogenated product.
