A hydrogen generator and a fuel cell system including a fuel cell battery and the hydrogen generator. The hydrogen generator includes a cartridge including a plurality of pellets stacked within a casing, each pellet containing a hydrogen containing material capable of releasing hydrogen gas when heated; a compartment including a hydrogen outlet through a housing and a cavity within the housing within which the cartridge can be removably disposed; and an induction heating system. The induction heating system includes a plurality of secondary coils within the cartridge casing, with each secondary coil in contact with one or more of the pellets. The induction heating system also includes at least one primary coil within the compartment housing. The induction heating system provides an electromagnetic field from a flow of the current in the primary coil, induces an electric current in the secondary coil, and producing heat to heat the pellets.

| PCT/JP2012/077534 | KABUSHIKI KAISHA ATSUMITEC | UCHIYAMA, Naoki | ||||
Provided is a method for hydrogen occlusion that is for causing a hydrogen-storage alloy to occlude hydrogen up to a maximum hydrogen occlusion amount possessed by the hydrogen-storage alloy which exceeds a generally known theoretical value. The method for hydrogen occlusion comprises repeating a hydrogenation step and a dehydrogenation step. In the hydrogenation step, a hydrogen occlusion ratio, which is calculated as atomic-weight ratio between the hydrogen-storage alloy and hydrogen, is determined beforehand as a theoretical value, the pressure at which the hydrogen-storage alloy has occluded hydrogen up to the theoretical value is set as a first pressure value, a pressure value which is at least 10 times the first pressure value is set as a second pressure value, and the pressure is elevated to the second pressure value. In the dehydrogenation step, the pressure is lowered from the second pressure value to or below the first pressure value.

A hydrogen generator and a fuel cell system including a fuel cell battery and the hydrogen generator. The hydrogen generator includes a cartridge, a housing with a cavity to removably contain the cartridge, and an initiation system. The cartridge includes a casing; a plurality of pellets including a hydrogen containing material; a plurality of solid heat transfer members in contact with but not penetrating the casing; a hydrogen outlet in the casing; and a hydrogen flow path from each pellet to the hydrogen outlet. A plurality of heating elements is disposed inside the housing. When the cartridge is in the cavity, each heating element is disposed so heat can be conducted from the heating element and through the casing and corresponding heat transfer member to initiate the release of hydrogen gas. The initiation system can selectively heat one or more pellets to release hydrogen gas as needed.

| PCT/EP2012/071188 | SHELL INTERNATIONALE RESEARCH MAATSCHAPPIJ B.V. | TE BRAAKE, Justus Theodorus Gerardus | ||||
This invention concerns a method for producing a gas comprising at least 80 vol% carbon monoxide from a Fischer- Tropsch off-gas. The method comprises the following steps: (1) feeding Fischer-Tropsch off-gas through a column comprising an adsorbent bed at high pressure and discharging effluent; (2) reducing the pressure in the column and the bed slightly; (3) rinsing the column and the adsorbent bed with methane or carbon dioxide; (4) rinsing the column and the adsorbent bed with carbon dioxide; (5) reducing the pressure of the column and adsorbent bed to a low pressure; (6) rinsing the column and adsorbent bed with a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen; (7) pressurizing the column and adsorbent bed to a high pressure again using a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen. The carbon monoxide rich product stream obtained in step (3) can be sent as feed to a Fischer-Tropsch reaction. Step (4) produces a methane stream comprising at least 80 vol% methane.In a preferred embodiment a gas comprising at least 80 vol% hydrogen is produced as well.
