  • Patent number: 9520609
    Abstract: A hydrogen purification device including a container, a first opening structure and a second opening structure is provided. The container has at least a filter material inside. The first opening structure is disposed in the container, wherein hydrogen-rich gas mixture flows into the container via the first opening structure so that purified hydrogen gas is generated by conducting a reaction between the hydrogen-rich gas mixture and the filter material. Besides, a second opening structure is disposed in the container, wherein the purified hydrogen gas flows away from the container via the second opening structure. A fuel processor having the hydrogen purification device is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20130129572
    Abstract: A hydrogen-generating equipment including a hydrogen-generating device and a hydrogen-purifying device is provided. The hydrogen-generating device is capable of generating a hydrogen-gas, a water-vapor mixed in the hydrogen-gas and a toxic-gas mixed in the hydrogen-gas. The hydrogen-purifying device includes a water-vapor filter unit and a toxic-gas filter unit. The hydrogen-gas passes through the water-vapor filter unit to remove the water-vapor mixed in the hydrogen-gas. The toxic-gas filter unit includes a filtering assembly. The surface of the filtering assembly has a plurality of hydroxyls. After the hydrogen-gas passes through the water-vapor filter unit, the hydrogen-gas passes through the toxic-gas filter unit, and the toxic-gas mixed in the hydrogen-gas reacts with a plurality of hydroxyls on a surface of the filtering assembly to remove the toxic-gas.
