Abstract

The invention concerns a hydrogen generating system, characterized in that it combines a water-corrodible metal, an inorganic material, said material having a specific surface capable of fixing the oxide and/or hydroxide form(s) of said metals generated during corrosion. The invention also concerns a method for generating hydrogen and its uses, in particular in a hydrodehalogenation process of halogenated organic compounds present in aqueous media to be purified.
