The present inventors have focused on the fact that many chips are generated by machining, etc. in the manufacturing process of various aluminum products using aluminum alloys, etc. as raw materials, and can hydrogen be produced using these chips? investigated.
In order to use the obtained hydrogen for fuel cells and the like, it must be high-purity hydrogen.
However, it has been found that the purity of hydrogen is low and cannot be used for hydrogen for fuel cells only by reacting chips such as aluminum alloy with an alkaline aqueous solution.
