Abstract
An apparatus for removing free hydrogen from a gas mixture containing essentially hydrogen, oxygen, and steam using a catalyst arrangement for catalytically supported oxidation of hydrogen and a hydrogen-storage apparatus for absorption of hydrogen by hydride formation. The catalyst arrangement and the hydrogen-storage apparatus are designed to operate in different temperature and pressure regions, and they are arranged to provide good heat conduction between them. In this manner, heat generated by hydride formation enhances catalytic oxidation.
