This paper deals with the survey of domestic hydrogen production, consumption, and distribution. The amount of domestic hydrogen production and consumption has not been identified, and we survey the amount of domestic hydrogen production and consumption by industries. The hydrogen production industries are classified into the oil industry, the petrochemical industry, the chemical industry, and the other industry. In 2004, the amount of domestic hydrogen production was 972,601 ton, which corresponded to 1.9% of the global hydrogen production. The oil industry produced 635,683 ton(65.4%), the petrochemical industry produced 241,970 ton(24.9%), the chemical industry produced 66,250 ton(6.8%), the other industry produced 28,698 ton(2.9%). The hydrogen consumptions of corresponding industries were close to the hydrogen productions of industries except that of the other industry. Most hydrogen was used as non-energy for raw materials and hydrogen additions to the process. Only 122,743 ton(12.6%) of domestic hydrogen was used as energy for heating boilers. In 2004, 47,948 ton of domestic hydrogen was distributed. The market shares of pipeline, tube trailers and cylinders were 84.4% and 15.6%, respectively. The purity of 31,848 ton(66.4%) of the distributed hydrogen was 99.99%, and 16,100 ton(33.6%) was greater than or equal to 99.999%. Besides domestic hydrogen, we also identify the byproduct gases which contain hydrogen. The iron industry produces COG( coke oven gas), BFG(blast furnace gas), and LDG(Lintz Donawitz converter gas) that contain hydrogen. In 2004, byproduct gases of the iron industry contained 355,000 ton of hydrogen.

A long-term energy system in the future is expected to be based on the ideal circulation system between water and hydrogen in the sense that the hydrogen prepared from water eventually returns to water again after its use. Currently, with respect to the hydrogen energy system, it is predicted that the turning-point at which the production cost of hydrogen will become to be lower than that of fossil fuels would be after 2010. However, fuel cell technology would be able to be practically used for the applications to the transportation vehicles and small-scale power sources from 2004, and therefore, an efficient construction of the infrastructure covering hydrogen production and supply systems would be required with short-/mid-term technologies for the $CO_2$ reduction associated with fossil fuel utilization. In this paper, the hydrogen quantity available in domestic market has been estimated focusing on the hydrogen by-produced from domestic industries, and also the infrastructure for hydrogen-driven vehicles like fuel cell cars has been reviewed.

무인항공기용 고분자전해질 연료전지의 수소발생용으로써 $NaBH_4$는 많은 장점을 갖고 있다. 무인항공기용으로 이용하기 위해서는 $NaBH_4$ 가수분해 반응 후 부산물의 무게와 부피가 작아야 한다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 비담지 촉매를 사용한 $NaBH_4$ 가수분해 반응 후 부산물의 무게와 부피에 대해 연구하였다. 촉매 형태, $NaBH_4$ 농도, NaOH 농도, 촉매팩 두께 등이 부산물의 무게와 부피에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다. 본 실험 조건에서 발생한 부산물은 대부분 $NaB(OH)_4$였고, 거품이 발생하여 부피가 증가하였다. 안정화제인 NaOH 농도는 부산물의 무게와 부피에 별 영향을 주지 않았다. $NaBH_4$ 농도가 증가하면 부산물 무게가 감소하였으나, $NaBH_4$ 농도 23 wt%에서 최고 부피를 나타냈다. 소포제를 이용해 부산물의 부피를 감소시킬 수 있었다.

The simplest and lightest element-hydrogen is an alternative fuel which provides a clean and renewable energy source. Hydrogen can be used to power gas-type appliance and modified automobiles with water vapor as the only byproduct of combustion. Historically, production of hydrogen from coal was one of the mass production technology of hydrogen. In this paper, the status of hydrogen production process from coal was investigated to review the current situation of hydrogen production and utilization.

Hydrogen and electricity are expected to dominate the world energy system in the long term. The world currently consumes about 50 million metric tons of hydrogen per year, with the bulk of it being consumed by the chemical and refining industries. The demand for hydrogen is expected to increase, especially if the U.S. and other countries shift their energy usage towards a hydrogen economy, with hydrogen consumed as an energy commodity by the transportation, residential and commercial sectors. However, there is strong motivation to not use fossil fuels in the future as a feedstock for hydrogen production, because the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide is a byproduct and fossil fuel prices are expected to increase significantly. An advanced reactor technology receiving considerable international interest for both electricity and hydrogen production, is the modular helium reactor (MHR), which is a passively safe concept that has evolved from earlier high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) designs. For hydrogen production, this concept is referred to as the H2-MHR. Two different hydrogen production technologies are being investigated for the H2-MHR; an advanced sulfur-iodine (SI) thermochemical water splitting process and high-temperature electrolysis (HTE). This paper describes pre-conceptual design descriptions and economic evaluations of full-scale, nth-of-a-kind SI-Based and HTE-Based H2-MHR plants. Hydrogen production costs for both types of plants are estimated to be approximately $2 per kilogram.

Hydrogen was generated by the reaction of metal hydride with water. The variation of hydrogen generation with the kind of powders (milled $MgH_2$, and $MgH_2$ milled with various contents of MgO, $MgCl_2$ or $Ni+Nb_2O_5$) was investigated. $MgH_2$ powder with a hydrogen content of 6.05 wt% from Aldrich Company was used. Hydrogen is generated by the reaction of Mg as well as $MgH_2$ with water, resulting in the formation of byproduct $Mg(OH)_2$. For about 5 min of reaction time, milled $95%MgH_2+5%MgO$ has the highest hydrogen generation rate among milled $MgH_2+x%MgO$ (x=0, 5, 10, 15 and 20) samples. Milled $90%MgH_2+10%MgCl_2$ has the highest hydrogen generation rate among all the samples.

한국의 수소경제 활성화 로드맵에 의하면 2040년 526만톤의 연간 수소공급이 필요하며 이 중 해외 생산부분이 50%를 담당해야 할 것으로 설정하였으나 부생, 추출, 수전해 방식의 수소공급이 원활하지 않을 경우 해외 생산 비중이 당초 계획보다 증가될 수 있다. 따라서 국외 생산분에 대해 다양한 공급원의 확보가 필수적이며, 본 기술보고에서는 주요 공급후보국인 캐나다의 수소생산/수송 정책, 현황, 향후 전망에 대해 살펴보고 가장 현실적인 수소공급 방법으로 여겨지는 블루수소 프로젝트의 사례를 소개하고자 한다.

석유화학단지내에서 석유화학공장과 정유공장과 같은 산업현장에서는 상당량의 수소가 부산물로 발생되고 있으나, 이는 대부분 자체적으로 연료로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 연료로 사용되는 상당량의 수소를 에너지원의 원료나 기타 공정의 원료로 재활용할 경우, 현재보다 수소의 가치를 높여서 사용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 석유화학단지내 공장간 수소 재활용 네트워크를 설계하였다. 수소 핀치 분석을 통하여 교환망 구성에 필요한 최소의 수소 요구 및 정제량을 파악하고, 네트워크 구성에 필요한 비용과 기타 제약 조건으로 최적화 문제를 구성하여 공급처(source)와 수요처(sink) 공장간에 최적으로 수소를 재활용하기 위한 네트워크를 설계하였다.

Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless, and malodorous 'rotten eggs' gas that results from the decay of organic material. It is a byproduct of industry and agriculture. The mechanism of its toxicity is primarily related to inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation, which causes a decrease in available cellular energy. Because there is no rapid method of detection that is of clinical diagnostic use, management decisions must be made based on history, clinical presentation, and diagnostic tests that imply hydrogen sulfide's presence. Although there is some anecdotal evidence to suggest that the early use of hyperbaric oxygen is beneficial, supportive care remains the mainstay of therapy. We describe an occupational exposure to hydrogen sulfide gas in 51-year-old man. While cleaning the sewage of pigs. he became unconscious. When he arrived in the emergency department, he had irritability and confused mentality. The typical smell of rotten eggs on clothing and exhaled air were enough to be considered to be exposed to hydrogen sulfide. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy was performed. He had a recovery to normal function.

DC Arc Plasma was applied in order to convert of hydrocabon fuels (Methane) to hydrogen, which has higher available energy. Plasma can generate very high temperatures with a high degree of control, using electricity. Plasma can be used to produce the pure hydrogen fuel, and has rapid response time. In addition, the use of plasma could provide for a greater variety of operating modes including the posibility of virtual elimination of $CO_2$ production by pyrolytic operation and could obtain byproduct (Carbonblack).
