Description

United States Patent Int. '01. F17c 11/00 s. on. 624-48 l 3 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method for storing hydrogen whereby gaseous hydrogen is adsorbed by titanium-iron alloys at temperatures. above C. and pressures above 14 pounds per square inch.
PRIOR ART Hydrogen is conventionally stored in pressure vessels which are dangerous both from fire and explosion hazards. Others in the art have tried to form stable metal hydrides in order to eliminate the hazards arising from containment of hydrogen in pressurized containers. The metals and alloys previously employed by those skilled in the art have been too expensive toallow their widespread use in conventional processes such'as rockets and fuel cells.
In US. Patent No. 3,315,479, R. H. Wiswall, Jr., and J. I. Reilly, issued Apr. 25, 1967, disclosed a method of storing hydrogen whereby gaseous hydrogen is adsorbed by nickel-magnesium alloys at temperatures above 250 C. and pressures above 18 pounds per square inch. The hydrogen loaded alloys disclosed in U.S. Patent 3,315,479, when heated to temperatures of 250 C. give oif hydrogen at a pressure of slightly over one atmosphere. I
US. Patent No. 3,375,676, James J. Reilly and Richard H. Wiswall, Jr., issued Apr. 2, 1968, entitled Method of Storing Hydrogen, disclosed a method of storing hydrogen whereby gaseous hydrogen is adsorbed by coppermagnesium alloys at temperatures above 250 C. and pressures above 30 pounds per square inch. The hydrogen loaded alloys disclosed in US. patent application S.N. 642,289 when heated to temperatures of 200 C. give off hydrogen at a constant pressure. v
It is an object of this invention to provide those skilled in the art with a simple, economical, safe method of storing hydrogen.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention described herein was made in the course of, or under a contract with the US. Atomic Energy Commission.
A novel method for storing hydrogen by forming a hydrogen metal alloy complex, wherein hydrogen gas is absorbed into a metal alloy, comprising contacting gaseous hydrogen with a solid titanium-iron alloy, said alloy containing from about 35 weight percent to about 75 weight percent titanium based upon the total weight of the titanium-iron alloy and from about 25 weight to about 65 weight percent iron based upon the total weight of the titanium-iron alloy, while maintaining said hydrogen and said alloy at a pressure of at least about 14 pounds per square inch and at a temperature of at least about 10 C. until said alloy has absorbed up to about 3 weight percent hydrogen based upon the total weight of the titanium-iron alloy.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The amount of hydrogen that can be absorbed by our amount of titanium contained in the alloy. The rate of adsorption of the hydrogen onto our novel complex is rapidwhen low temperatures (about 25- C.) and pressures of about 400 p.s.i. are employed in the loading operation. When higher temperatures are employed during the loading operation, of course higher pressures will be required. v
The product formed by our method is a hydrogentitanium-iron complex, whose exact physical and chemical structure is not known at this time.
,The hydrogen-titanium-iron complexes produced by the practice of our invention are capable of emitting hydrogen at a pressure of about 3 atmospheres at ambient temperatures (20 0-). They can be readily stored by forming the complex inaccordance with the method disclosed by our invention and maintaining the complex in a pressure vessel. A more rapid release of the hydrogen can be effectuated by applying heat to the complex. To release the hydrogen from the complex, all that is required to be done is to allow the hydrogen to escapefrom the vessel in which it is contained.
A unique feature of our novel complexes is the fact that hydrogen is released at a constant rate from a complex when the complex is maintained at a specific temperature of 25 C. until the complex contains less than 1.0 weight percent of hydrogen based on the total weight of titaniumiron alloy contained in the complex. For example, a hydrogen titanium-iron complex containing 2 weight percent hydrogen based upon the weight of the titanium-iron alloy upon being heated at a constant temperature of 25 C. will maintain a hydrogen pressure of 15 lbs. per square inch above the alloy until above 1.0 weight percent of hydrogen remains in the complex. This feature provides those skilled in the art with a simple hydrogen source in which the rate of release can be carefully controlled by simply controlling the temperature of the complex during the release. Thus, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that our invention can be readily adapted to conventional techniques to provide a safe dependable source of hydrogen for a multitude of uses such as rockets, fuel cells, etc.
Further, as will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, the novel hydrogen-titanium-iron complexes disclosed herein can be readily used as a source of energy avail- I able at temperatures above 10 C. to provide the required heat source to enable the hydrogen-alloy complexes disclosed in US. Patent No. 3,315,479 and US. Patent application S.N. 642,289, to give 011 the hydrogen entrained therein. Thus small amounts of hydrogen can be contained in the instant alloys in a relatively small pressure vessel which can provide a means to release large amounts of hydrogen from large quantities of other hydrogen alloy complexes which latter complexes do not require pressure vessel containment at low temperatures. This advantage will greatly enhance the safety factors when such storage systems are employed in fuel cells and rockets as fuel depots. 1
In the preferred embodiment of our invention, the titanium-iron alloy contains 62 weight percent titanium and 38 weight percent iron based on the total weight of the alloy. The alloys found usable in our invention can be produced by any convenient alloying technique. They can be produced by simply heating the proper amounts of titanium and iron under an inert atmosphere with an induction heater until a melt is formed, intimately mixing the ingredients of the melt and thereafter cooling the melt until a solid alloy is formed. Liquid metal alloys are not desirable for use in the practice of our invention because the pressure requirements required to form the desired hydrogen-alloy complex would be too great. Our invention is not limited to any particular physical shape of the alloy, blocks and meshes of the alloy can be employed and indeed in certainapplications, such shapes may be desirable. In practice when hydrogen is adsorbed onto solid blocks of titanium-nickel alloys and desorbed therefrom, the solid block disintegrates into a pulverulent form. Conventional pressure vessels and heating. devices may be employed in the practice of our invention;
In the preferred embodiment of'our inventiomthe hy drogen and the titanium-iron alloy are maintained at a temperature of 20 C. and maintained under. a pressure of 200 pounds per square inch absolute during the loading operation. The pressure can be maintained by adiiingadditionali increments of hydrogen to the system to counterbalance the increments taken up by the alloy during the absorption phase of the process.
We haye found that about 4 atoms of hydrogen will be, adsorbed per atom of metal contained in. an alloy containing minimal amounts of iron. One mol of. an. alloy having the composition corresponding to T igFe will absorb up to 2 mols of hydrogen during the practice of our invention.
