The present invention relates to the production of hydrogen. More particularly, the present invention relates to a composition and process for the displacement of hydrogen from water under standard temperature and pressure conditions. The composition comprises finely divided metal powders (e.g., magnesium, or magnesium and aluminum) and can also contain a chloride salt (e.g., sodium chloride or potassium chloride). The process of the present invention comprises adding a composition of the present invention to water (either water that already contains chloride ions—such as seawater—or, alternatively, with compositions that contain a chloride salt, either fresh water or seawater), at standard temperature and pressure conditions, in order to create hydrogen gas from the displacement of hydrogen from the water.

The present invention relates to the production of hydrogen gas. More particularly, the present invention relates to: (1) a composition and process for the displacement of hydrogen from water under standard temperature and pressure conditions; (2) a hydrogen fuel system; (3) a method for using the hydrogen fuel system in conjunction with a feedstock composition to produce hydrogen gas (e.g., onboard a vehicle); and (4) a method of using the hydrogen fuel system at a reduced cost (e.g., by providing a consumer rebate in exchange for the return of byproduct(s) collected after using the hydrogen fuel system). The composition (e.g., a feedstock composition) comprises finely divided metal powders (e.g., magnesium, or magnesium and aluminum) and can also contain a chloride salt (e.g., sodium chloride or potassium chloride). The process of the present invention comprises adding a composition of the present invention to water (either water that already contains chloride ions—such as seawater—or, alternatively, with compositions that contain a chloride salt, either fresh water or seawater), at standard temperature and pressure conditions, in order to create hydrogen gas from the displacement of hydrogen from the water The methods of the present invention also comprises contacting the feedstock composition of the present invention with water (either water that already contains chloride ions—such as seawater—or, alternatively, with compositions that contain a chloride salt, either fresh water or seawater), at standard temperature and pressure conditions, in order to create hydrogen gas from the displacement of hydrogen from the water.

Titanium and titanium alloy surfaces can be diffusion coated, and portions of the surface protected against such coating by localized powdered masking layer of about 43% titanium, aluminum in an amount equal to the aluminum content of the surface masked, as well as other metals in an amount about one-fifth of their content in the surface masked. Diffusion coating can be speeded by high heat input. Diffusion coating packs can be made with chemically reduced metal content of sludges. Diffusion aliminizing followed by caustic leaching to remove much of the diffused-in aluminum, yields catalytically and pyrophorically active porous surface that also accepts top coatings. Mixtures of aluminum powder with nickel and/or iron powders react when heated to form Raney-like product that can be leached to become pyrophoric, and when held on a metal foil or gauze web will adhere to the web so that leached product can be used as pyrophoric foil for decoying heat-seeking missiles. Such adhesion is improved by addition of small amount of copper.

In the pack diffusion coating of chromium into the surface of a superalloy, the formation of undesirable oxide inclusion is reduced when the diffusion coating pack contains at least about 3% Ni. sub. 3 Al. Also the formation of alpha-chromium is reduced when the pack diffusion is carried out in a retort effectively not over five inches in height. Pack aluminizing in the presence of chromium makes a very effective aluminum- and chromium-containing top coating over platinum plated or platinum coated nickel-base superalloys. Aluminized nickel can also have its aluminum attacked and at least partially removed with aqueous caustic to leave a very highly active catalytic surface. Pack diffusion can also be arranged to simultaneously provide different coatings in different locations by using different pack compositions in those locations. An aluminizing pack containing a large amount of chromium provides a thinner aluminized case than an aluminizing pack containing less chromium, or less chromium and some silicon. A cobalt-chromium pack deposits essentially a chromized case when energized with a chloride, but deposits large amounts of cobalt along with chromium when energized with an iodide.

Foil, wire and similar coherent bodies of catalytic metal are provided with catalytically active surfaces by diffusing a chemically removable metal such as aluminum or zinc into those surfaces and then selectively dissolving out at least about a third of the removable metal. Platinum wire screens activated in this way make effective exhaust catalysts for automotive engines.

Diffusion aluminizing, when applied to titanium is effected with little or no activator to produce more uniform case and less etching. Workpieces are very rapidly pack-diffusion coated by using an excess of energizers in the pack, heating the retort containing the packed workpieces at a rate that brings the workpieces to diffusion-coating temperature and then completing the diffusion coating, all in less than 50 minutes, then cooling the retort. Diffusion aluminizing can also be applied to foils and powder to make pyrophoric product after leaching out much of the introduced aluminum. Powder can also be diffusion boronized. Pyrophoric boron-containing iron or nickel powder mixed with Ba(NO. sub. 3). sub. 2 will ignite to cause generation of large quantity of NO. sub. 2 gas, and generation is improved when powdered boron and/or an oxidizer like NaClO. sub.

Roughening effect of low-temperature diffusion aluminizing of age-hardenable stainless steels, is offset by applying a nickel or cobalt plating not over 0. 1 mil thick before the aluminizing.

Self-supporting web of brass or similar cupreous metal is catalytically activated by diffusing aluminum into its surface at low temperatures and then leaching out some of that aluminum with dilute mineral acid, preferably HNO. sub. 3, or ammonium persulfate. Resulting catalyst is very effective for reaction of CO with H. sub. 2 to make methanol, and web provides very good thermal conductivity for improved temperature control. Activation can be confined to one face of web. Other self-supporting catalysts can be made similarly.
