Similar name: pure hydrogen, 99.999% hydrogen gas, H2 hydrogen gas, compressed hydrogen gas, hydrogen industrial gas, and so on.

1. Description:

At standard temperature and pressure, hydrogen (H2) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, nonmetallic, highly combustible diatomic gas with the molecular formula H2.

2. Physical properties

3. Typical technical data

4. Applications

1). Large quantities of H2 are needed in the petroleum and chemical industries. The largest application of H2 is for the processing ("upgrading") of fossil fuels, and in the production of ammonia.The key consumers of H2 in the petrochemical plant include hydrodealkylation, hydrodesulfurization, and hydrocracking.

2).Hydrogen gas is used as a shielding gas in welding methods such as atomic hydrogen welding.

3). In more recent applications, hydrogen is used pure or mixed with nitrogen (sometimes called forming gas) as a tracer gas for minute leak detection.

4).Hydrogen is commonly used in power stations as a coolant in generators due to a number of favorable properties that are a direct result of its light diatomic molecules.
