Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to simply perform the indication of a hydrogen storing amount by pressure measurement in a storing method for occluding hydrogen with metal hydride, by using a mixture consisting of various metal hydrides while bringing the relation of the hydrogen storing amount of said mixture and the equilibrium pressure to linearity. CONSTITUTION:As metal hydride for occluding hydrogen, a mixture consisting of several kinds of metal hydrides is prepared so that the relation of a hydrogen storing amount (H/M) to the amount of metal hydrides and the equilibrium pressure has linearity. By this method, the indication of a fuel residual amount in utilizing metal hydrides in storing hydrogen as power fuel can be simply performed by usual pressure measurement.

Hydrogen has a wider range of ignitable combustion limits than petroleum-based fuels, and has high thermal efficiency, so it is viewed as a promising fuel for future power sources. Conventional hydrogen storage methods have generally been to store it as liquefied hydrogen in a cryogenic storage tank or as a high-pressure gas in a high-pressure container. A hydrogen storage method that utilizes the property of occluding a large amount of hydrogen gas in the form of an interstitial bond under a certain equilibrium pressure and devolatilizing the occluded hydrogen gas at a different equilibrium pressure is attracting attention.

However, one of the drawbacks of the hydrogen gas storage method using metal hydrides is that it is difficult to indicate the amount of hydrogen stored in the metal hydrides. In other words, when hydrogen is stored using a single type of metal hydride, the relationship between the amount of hydrogen stored in the metal hydride (H/M) and the equilibrium pressure is linear (-
For example, the amount of gas stored in a high-pressure gas container cannot be easily indicated by pressure measurement, such as by indicating the amount of gas remaining in a high-pressure gas container with a pressure gauge. - Conventionally, the equilibrium pressure and temperature were measured and a pressure-composition-isotherm diagram (P-
Therefore, it was necessary to calculate the storage amount from the CT diagram (CT diagram).
