Exclusively on ZL7T blog, a group of researchers from Adeland University managed to separate hydrogen atoms from the remaining components of salty seawater. These hydrogen atoms can be used to produce clean hydrogen fuel. The scientists explained that the hydrogen atoms were separated from oxygen without any additional processing, resulting in a low-cost method. This is done by electrolytic separation to produce hydrogen atoms whose efficiency is 100%.

How to extract hydrogen from seawater?
The extraction of hydrogen atoms from seawater is achieved through electrical separation using an electrical catalyst. Hydrogen buttons are separated from seawater by an electrical catalyst. Its mechanism relies on harnessing seawater through electrolysis of its atoms, similar to the electrolysis process used with freshwater, leveraging the minerals present in seawater.
The Importance of Extracting Hydrogen from Seawater
The importance of extracting hydrogen atoms from seawater is due to the fact that they can be used and replaced with fossil fuels, is the cost, as the separation of hydrogen atoms only needs an electrolyzer, which is a small cost from other means of extracting other energy, which gives greater productivity, as sea water is available in abundance all over the world and can be exploited from now on to feed coastal areas far from urban agglomerations, which overlook sea coasts that can be exploited in the extraction of hydrogen atoms, which in turn Works on energy production.
Expected Cost of Electricity Generation from the Project
The project is expected to decrease the cost of generating energy, which will positively impact electricity costs for project beneficiaries. This approach is likely to be widely applied in coastal areas with limited petroleum production for electricity generation.
