ABSTRACT:
Coal and carbon particulates or dust when mixed with water through which a direct electric current passes, electrochemically react reducing the water to hydrogen and the coal to carbon dioxide. By washing the electrodes with an inert dielectric liquid the gases as formed are mechanically washed from both the anode and cathode electrodes and subsequently absorbed by the liquid thus more efficiently keeping the chemical reaction proceeding to the right. By using a liquid dielectric capable of operating under elevated temperatures and superatmospheric pressures the chemical reactions proceed at a much greater rate than at atmospheric and ambient conditions. This disclosure teaches the art and science of producing hydrogen by reacting coal or carbon dust with hot water retained as water by superatmospheric pressure. The pressure controlled by the use of an inert dielectric liquid which washes the electrodes and while doing so depolarizes them by absorption of the gases. Gases are recovered from the absorber liquid for use.
