Title: Innovations of Jonathan A Wiseman
Introduction
Jonathan A Wiseman is an accomplished inventor based in Pedro, OH (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of molten metal hydrogen generation. His innovative approach has led to the development of a unique apparatus that enhances the efficiency of hydrogen production.
Latest Patents
Wiseman holds a patent for a "Molten decomposition apparatus and process." This invention features an improved molten metal hydrogen generation bath, where baffles create a draft tube or chimney effect near the center of the bath. The flow through the chimney is facilitated by maintaining a temperature differential that favors convection, along with a differential pressure between the portions of the bath on either side of the baffle-chimney arrangement. Feed is introduced into the feed zone, while oxygen is added to the oxidation zone, resulting in the emission of H₂ from the feed zone and CO from the oxidation zone. The baffles can be constructed from brickwork or high-temperature metal and are designed to fit into existing refractory-lined molten metal vessels. The products generated can be mixed as syngas feed for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Additionally, the Boudouard endothermic reaction can be utilized to control temperatures by injecting CO in place of oxygen.
