Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a heat pump that utilizes the heat generation or endothermic reaction when a hydrogen storage alloy stores and releases hydrogen, and hydrogen storage that utilizes the property that the hydrogen storage alloy absorbs and releases only hydrogen A hydrogen storage alloy filling container such as a container is known. In these hydrogen storage alloy filled containers, the hydrogen storage alloy in the container becomes fine powder and gradually deteriorates due to repeated storage and release of hydrogen. Therefore, it is desired that the used container containing the hydrogen storage alloy is dismantled and the hydrogen storage alloy, the container and the like are reused.

る。When exposed to the atmosphere, a hydrogen storage alloy activated to absorb and release hydrogen generates heat due to an oxidation reaction and ignites. If the amount of hydrogen storage alloy filled in the container is small, there is no problem if it is taken out quickly and cooled before ignition, but if it is large and the amount of hydrogen storage alloy is large, it will take a long working time and It is dangerous because it catches fire while being taken out of the container. For this reason, it is very difficult to recover the used hydrogen storage alloy, and it is the current situation that it has not been implemented.

Certain types of hydrogen storage alloys, such as TiFeCa-based hydrogen storage alloys, react with water and release the remaining hydrogen when the temperature rises, which is dangerous. The shape makes it difficult to take out the hydrogen-absorbing alloy that has been wet with water, and the post-process becomes troublesome unless taken out in a dry state. If the hydrogen storage alloy can be easily taken out from the container and recycled, the effective use of resources and the pollution problem can be solved.

Is exposed and the alloy-filled portion 3 is covered with a cylindrical cover 8. At this time, it is desirable to keep the temperature of the hydrogen storage alloy A as low as possible. Therefore, a low-temperature heat medium (refrigerant) is passed from the heat medium inlet 1e to the tube bundle 7 and flown out from the heat medium outlet 1f, so that the hydrogen storage alloy A filled in the container 1 is indirectly cooled. In this cooling state, the flange joint 1b of the container 1 coupled with the flange portion 1c having the heat medium inlet 1e and the heat medium outlet 1f, and the seal portion such as a welded portion are removed.

い。When covering the alloy-filled portion 3 with the cover 8, it is desirable to suppress contact of the hydrogen storage alloy A with air as much as possible in order to suppress ignition. Therefore,
When there is a possibility that the hydrogen storage alloy A may come into direct contact with a large amount of air when the outer cylinder 2 is pulled out and the holding member 6 is removed, the air-tight cylindrical cover 8 has a connection port 8b A
While introducing an inert gas such as r, N 2 , CO 2 or the like, the cover 8 covers the alloy filling portion 3 to minimize contact with air. The holding member 6 holding the outer side of each alloy filling portion 3 is stripped off at least one side portion in the left-right direction in FIG. 5 to expose at least a part of the alloy filling portion 3, and the exposed portion 15 is exposed. The cover 8 may be quickly covered, and finally the entire alloy filling portion 3 may be covered with the cover 8.

Let it be sealed. The hose band 42 can also be fastened to the flange portion 1c. After that, the hose band 40 is removed, and the alloy recovery tanks 9 are attached to the openings 8a of the cover 8 (in this example, there are five baffles 10 for fixing the tube bundle 7). The alloy recovery tank 9 can be attached to each opening 8a by tightening it with a hose band (not shown).

Since the partitioning members 5 are usually arranged horizontally in multiple stages, after the alloy recovery tank 9 is attached to the lateral position, the alloy filling section 3 and the cover 8 are rotated 90 degrees to lower the alloy recovery tank 9 downward. And As a result, the hydrogen storage alloy A spontaneously falls from the exposed portion 15 and is recovered in the alloy recovery tank 9. The hydrogen storage alloy A attached to each partition member 5, the baffle plate 10, the tube bundle 7 and the like is vibrated and dropped, and is recovered in the alloy recovery tank 9. Figure 1 shows the recovery work of hydrogen storage alloy A.

When introducing air, a low-temperature heat medium (refrigerant) is caused to flow through the tube bundle 7 to indirectly cool the hydrogen storage alloy A and suppress the oxidation reaction of the hydrogen storage alloy A.
The air flowing around the hydrogen storage alloy A in a consolidated state does not cause an excessive oxidation reaction with the hydrogen storage alloy A,
Ignition is suppressed in conjunction with the fact that the hydrogen storage alloy A is being cooled.

The cylinder 2 is pulled out to expose the alloy filling portion 3 to form the exposed portion 15. After that, the alloy filling portion 3 is covered with a cylindrical cover 8, and the alloy recovery tank 9 is attached to each opening 8 a of the cover 8. Next, so that the exposed portion 15 faces downward,
The attitude of the container 1 is changed to prompt the hydrogen storage alloy A to fall.

An inert gas such as r, N 2 or CO 2 is introduced. As a result, the hydrogen storage alloy A is allowed to fall naturally from the exposed portion 15 while being relatively well filled with the inert gas, and is recovered in the alloy recovery tank 9. In this way, when the hydrogen storage alloy A falls in the form of powder and falls, it is possible to favorably suppress the ignition due to the excessive oxidation reaction. Even during the period from the removal of the outer cylinder 2 to the dropping of the hydrogen storage alloy A, the low temperature heat medium (refrigerant) can be flown through the tube bundle 7 to indirectly cool the hydrogen storage alloy A.

First, after hydrogen in the outer cylinder 2 of the container 1 filled with the hydrogen storage alloy A is released to the outside, the hydrogen storage alloy A in the container 1 is discharged.
The portion filled with is filled with an inert gas. After that, the outer cylinder 2 is removed from the container 1, and one side portion of the holding member 6 that partitions the outer side of the alloy filling portion 3 is removed.
A part of the alloy filling portion 3 filled with is exposed, and the exposed portion 15 (shown by a broken line in FIG. 6) is covered with the alloy recovery tank 9. Then, the alloy filling part 3 is rotated 90 degrees,
The alloy recovery tank 9 is on the lower side. As a result, the hydrogen storage alloy A spontaneously falls from the exposed portion 15 and is recovered in the alloy recovery tank 9. The alloy recovery tank 9 is arranged while maintaining the airtightness of the exposed portion 15, and suppresses the hydrogen storage alloy A from contacting air and igniting as much as possible. The holding member 6 can be divided in advance to partition the outside of the alloy filling portion 3 so that only one side can be removed.
