1. An apparatus to promote a substantially complete reaction of an anhydrous hydride reactant, the apparatus comprising:

  • a liquid permeable pouch that defines a cavity, the liquid permeable pouch having at least one wall formed from material configured to permit passage of a liquid from one side of the material to the other side;

    a solid anhydrous hydride reactant disposed within the cavity, the solid anhydrous hydride reactant having a liquid permeation distance;

    wherein the cavity comprises a cross-section such that each point within the cross-section is separated from a perimeter of the liquid permeable pouch by no more than double the permeation distance;

    a cartridge configured to receive the liquid permeable pouch and a liquid reactant such that at least a portion of the liquid permeable pouch is in contact with the liquid reactant.
