Separate Hydrogen Oxygen Methods
On the Method of Separating Hydrogen and Oxygen
Those who want to separate hydrogen and oxygen in ancient times all know that the composition of water is the combination of hydrogen and oxygen. However, it is not easy to do, so they must use exquisite methods.
First, the method of electrolysis. Make electricity flow through water, and the ions in the water move. At the anode, the oxygen ions lose electrons and become oxygen to escape; on the side of the cathode, the hydrogen ions gain electrons and gather into hydrogen gas. This is the force of electricity, the combination of hydrogen and oxygen, and the method requires a good guide and a steady flow to separate the hydrogen and oxygen in an orderly manner, and each returns to its place.
Second, the method of thermochemistry. Adding high temperature to water, water molecules can be cracked. When the temperature is high, water decomposes into hydrogen and oxygen. However, this route requires extremely high temperature and is not easy to maintain, so the material requirements of the appliance are strict, and it needs to be able to withstand hot topics without destroying, and the energy loss during the reaction process is also large. If you want to do it, you should carefully consider the energy budget and the tolerance of the material.
Third, the method of photocatalysis. There are special catalysts that are activated when exposed to light. When the light shines, the catalyst changes the water molecules and gradually divides the hydrogen and oxygen. This method seems to be a clean way by using natural light, but finding an efficient and stable catalyst is the key, and the light absorption and conversion efficiency needs to be improved before it can be widely used.
All these methods have advantages and disadvantages. Although the electrolysis method is accurate, the energy consumption is not small; the thermochemical method is difficult to control the high temperature; the photocatalysis method is still under exploration. To find the best method of hydrogen and oxygen separation, a wise person needs to think carefully and weigh the strengths and weaknesses of each method, in order to find a convenient, efficient and energy-saving way, so that the hydrogen and oxygen separation technique can be perfected day by day and used by the world.
