Hydrogen production by hydrolysis of ball milled and cold rolled activated magnesium wastes: case of MSR alloy wastes in NaCl solution

Key Points

• The aim is to investigate the feasibility of hydrogen production from activated magnesium waste materials.
• Used ball milling and cold rolling to activate magnesium wastes.
• Conducted hydrolysis experiments in sodium chloride solution.
• Analyzed hydrogen production rates from different waste alloys.
• Significant hydrogen production was observed during hydrolysis.
• Ball milled samples produced more hydrogen compared to cold rolled samples.
• Sodium chloride solution enhanced the overall hydrogen generation efficiency.
