Hydrogen Generation through NaOH-Aluminum

Reaction: A Sustainable Approach for
Hydrogen Gas Production

ODUCT METHOD
INTR ION This research uses qualitative and quantitative methods in the process of hydrogen production by the aluminum base
reduction method. The aluminum base reduction method involves the following steps:

Hydrogen is a form of renewable energy that is currently

attracting great attention in many countries, especially Sumbat Karet

developed countries. Many countries believe that hydrogen

will be a more efficient and environmentally friendly fuel in the
future. Hydrogen gas cannot be extracted but must be
produced. An alternative embodiment can be achieved by 1) Prepare a 100 mL 2) Pour 80 mL of warm

CONCLUSION
1. The study's findings highlight that the optimal mass of
hydrogen production occurs with 2 grams of aluminum
and a 6N NaOH concentration, yielding 1,0818 liters.
2. The highest conversion efficiency of aluminum to
hydrogen is achieved using 0.5 grams of aluminum with a
5N NaOH, reaching 50.168%.
3. Meanwhile, the maximum Hydrogen generation efficiency
is observed at 2 grams of aluminum with a 5N NaOH or

The results of this research can be developed as a stove fuel for the wider community to replace the commonly used gas But further research is needed
so that this hydrogen gas fuel can be more efficient. This research can be the basis for further research To make 1kg of Hydrogen gas requires 18kg of
Water, 9kg of aluminum and 2kg of NaOH (Kulakov & Ross 2007) Therefore, further research is needed in order to make Hydrogen gas that is efficient
in time and materials.
