Abstract
A hydrogen forming process and apparatus wherein one side of a hydrogen ion porous and molecular gas non-porous metallic foil is contacted with mixed gases comprising molecular hydrogen formed by a chemical reaction in a hydrogen production zone. The molecular hydrogen is dissociated and passed as ionic hydrogen to the other side of the metallic foil from which it is withdrawn, thereby removing hydrogen from the hydrogen production zone. This invention is particularly advantageous in favorably shifting the equilibrium of steam/methane reforming reactions and water-gas-shift reactions providing high yields of high purity hydrogen.
