HYDROGEN
Hydrogen is a very light gas, whose main properties are that it is
flammable, colorless, odorless, non-metallic, and insoluble in water.
In our electrolysis plants, hydrogen is obtained from the process of electrolysis of sodium chloride and water through the passage of electrical energy in the form of direct current. The hydrogen gas is formed at the cathode according to the following reaction: 2 H2O + 2 e- = H2 ( g ) + 2 OH-
Hydrogen has many applications, mainly in industry, as well as in the energy and transport sectors. Some of them are:
- In oil refining convert it into gasoline, diesel, paraffin, naphtha, or asphalt in processes such as hydrocracking.
- In the chemical industry for the manufacture of ammonia, hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide, or aniline.
- In other industries such as metallurgy, glass, cosmetics, or food.
- As a fuel by direct use in a combustion engine or in fuel cells for electricity generation or for vehicle transport.
