sounds like porphyritic iron to me. And do you know why it has that
name? Becaause it doesn't catalyze the decomposition of water but rather
it reacts with water to produce iron oxide and a rather energetic
reaction.
100 degrees centigrade = 212F, this is boiling point of water, even 150F
your water vapor will destroy your Catalyst converter. DumbFuck Poster, do
you know what you're doing? Many of you acting smart went online selling
the Fucking Scam Hydrogen generator (when in fact it's a simple "water vapor
generator")........heeheee...........Yup.......America got

Fred,
You're talking out of your ass.
First off, the boiling point of water you cite is at only accurate if
you assume one atmosphere (14.7 psi). Nearly everyone but you knows
that when you increase the pressure and the boiling point rises - so
steam can have be very hot. As I mentioned, 600C steam is required to
catalyze water into hydrogen using iron. This has been done for years
and it cited in many an old chemistry text - Linus Pauling's GENERAL
CHEMISTRY from Dover Press is a very good read for those who really
want to know a thing or two about Chemistry.
Here is a chart for an autoclave relating pressure and temperature
http://www.broadleyjames.com/FAQ-text/102-faq.html
The temperatures are rather modest, but this is only used for
sterilization.
As for your comments about the sensitivity of catalysts to
temperatures approaching 100C - check out the operating temperatures
of catalytic converters in car exhausts. Car exhausts are a lot
hotter than 100C. Obviously catalytic converters work under these
conditions. This obviously proves you are wrong in your idiotic
assertion about catalytic temperatures. For someone who wants to
know, all they've gotta do is pull down a technical reference for the
reaction they want to catalyze and there will be given a range of
temperatures and pressures needed for efficent operation. They're not
all below 100C - which is my point.
Please note that most catalysts operate at temperatures above the
boiling point of water. To use iron to efficiently make hydrogen from
water, you need 600C steam. Its in all the technical literature if
you'd care to look it up.
So,your commentary is dead wrong about the catalysts..
You are obviously wrong about steam temperatures and the sensitivity
of all catalysts to temperatures above 100C.
Now, I move on to your point about 'scam hydrogen generator' and 'dumb
fuck poster'
You seem to be the 'dumb fuck' to use your phrase - since you
obviously can't tell that there is a clear difference between workable
systems - such a hydro-electric powered hydrogen generation - and non
workable systems which get a lot more press than the workable
systems. It seems the media likes to marginalize alternative energy
systems by promoting scams and then debunking them in quick succession
- while ignoring workable systems totally.
Now, while iron is an efficient catalyst for converting water and heat
to hydrogen, its not clear it can be made into an efficient carbon-
free hydrogen generator system. Which was my point in posting - with
the technical details to back up my comments.
Your response indeed portrays you as a 'dumb fuck' - which it too
damned bad.
Talking about ignorance: Iron does not - I repeat not - catalyze steam
at high temperature. The change is a chemical reaction that changes the
iron into iron oxide and the iron oxided does NOT revert to iron. A
catalyst is characterized by for a considerable amount of time being
left unchanged by any chemical reaction it promotes (e.g. the catalytic
converter in an internal combustion vehicle exhaust.) So it would appear
you have joined the ranks of a "dumb fuck" as well as the person you
hectored.

I'm not calling anyone names. I'm not hectoring anyone. You guys are
getting all hot and bothered with me for no good reason.
Now, clearly you are playing word games with me. Defining 'catalyst'
a certain way and then calling me names because I used it
improperly.
Obviously I know there's a chemical reaction taking place. I gave you
the mass balance equation for it!!! haha.. So you point cannot stick
logically.
Besides, since we're interested in the hydrogen, and interested in
reusing the iron - we need a secondary reaction to convert the iron
oxide to iron again ...
