Hydrogen is only found in the atmosphere at trace levels. It
is synthetized from hydrocarbons (petroleum and petroleum by-products) and from
water where it constitutes the lightest fraction of the H2O molecule.
Industrial Use
- Hydrogen is an active gas used in combination with nitrogen to create a
reductive atmosphere over the tin bath in the FLOAT glass process. It can
also be used for heat treatment (oxy-hydrogen flame) of the hollow glass and
the optic fibers pre-forms, reductive atmosphere for various processes of
heat treatment, and as a carrier gas in gas chromatography.
- In refineries, glass manufactures, for metal production, chemical
production.
- Hydrogen is a carbon-free energy source used in the fuel cells.
