ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are disclosed for electrolysis of organic cellulose material to produce free hydrogen. Ground vegetation is saturated with liquid ammonium hydroxide to produce a mixture. The mixture is preferably fed through a tubular device using a screw feed mechanism or other appropriate feed mechanism, past cathodes and anodes which are positioned at intervals and in opposition in walls of the tubular device. Electrolysis is conducted on the mash and free hydrogen is collected at the cathodes via a tube connection adjacent to each cathode. Oxygen is also produced and collected. The hydrogen may be purified by utilizing a hydrogen scrubber which uses liquid nitrogen to condense and remove any contaminating gases. The collected hydrogen may be reacted with nitrogen and oxygen to replenish the ammonia for input to the process. It may also be reacted with oxygen to produce water, or it may be used for other purposes such as for fuel.
