Abstract: Disclosed is a process for producing hydrogen and a reactor used for this process. The reactor contains a first reaction space for oxidizing metal fuel selected from silicon, magnesium, iron, titanium, zinc, aluminum or alloy containing two or more of these metals with an oxidant and a second reaction space separated from the first reaction space for dehydrogenating hydrogen-containing chemicals into hydrogen and dehydrogenated products. The reactor contains a plurality of feed lines axially and/or radially and/or tangentially passing through the reactor jacket for feeding the inlet zone of the first reaction space with inert gas and/or metal fuel and/or oxidant as a result of which a vortex is formed at the interior of the reactor jacket, which vortex moves towards the direction of the outlet zone of the first reaction space or the reactor contains at least one electrolysis cell that is placed partially or in total within the first reaction space or is placed downstream a tube located within the first reaction space for performing electrolysis of the hot hydrogen-containing chemical within said electrolysis cell. With the reactor and the process of this invention hydrogen is generated from hydrogen-containing chemicals, such as water and metal fuel is used to generate thermal energy to promote the dehydrogenation reaction.
