Abstract

Aluminium-water reaction is one of the most promising ways to produce clean and economical hydrogen. In this study, the effect of the waste Aluminium foil AA1235 thickness on Aluminium-water reaction process was investigated. The thickness of aluminum used are 6.5 m, 11.5 m and 19.5 m. Aluminum foil was cut by size 20 mm x 30 mm in each thickness variation. The 0.4 M NaOH and 0.01 M NaAlO2 was added as promoter on the process. The initial composition of the aluminum and the dislocations in the aluminum are also considered. The experimental results was evaluated by the mass reduction and shrinking core models. The initial composition of the aluminum and the dislocations in the aluminum are also considered. The experimental results were evaluated by the mass reduction and shrinking core models. The results obtained that aluminum with thinner thickness can be approximated by the 1-dimensional slab shrinking core model. Aluminum with a thicker thickness can be approached with a mass reduction model. It is also found out that smaller thickness has larger dislocation and better effects of NaAlO2 resulting higher yield of hydrogen production.
