Abstract: Hydrogen propelled fuel cell vehicle system designs that reduce the relative cost of releasing hydrogen from hydrogen storage alloys by providing and/or utilizing secondary sources of heat to supply the heat of desorption of stored hydrogen. The secondary source can include combusting conventional secondary (non-hydrogen) fuels. The fuel supply system uses fundamentally new magnesium-based hydrogen storage alloy materials which for the first time make it feasible and practical to use solid state storage and delivery of hydrogen to power fuel cell vehicles. These exceptional alloys have remarkable hydrogen storage capacity of over 7 weight % coupled with extraordinary absorption kinetics such that the alloy powder absorbs 80% of its total capacity within 1.5 minutes at 300° C. and a cycle life of at least 2000 cycles without loss of capacity or kinetics.

Abstract: A process for producing a refined magnesium material which is flame retardant by adding an alkaline earth metal. In the process, the dross in a thin film is formed on the surface of the molten magnesium material by contacting it with a dross-formable atmosphere gas while the molten magnesium material is subjected to a vertical vortex flow. The dross encloses the impurity floating on the surface of molten magnesium material through the vortex flow in a vertical direction. The resultant dross is accumulated at the corner of the crucible to prevent the re-diffusion of the impurity. The continuous application of the vortex flow against the molten magnesium material causes the thin film of dross to be continuously formed on the molten magnesium material and adhered thereto so as to enclose the impurity each time it is formed. Accordingly, the molten magnesium material is improved in cleanliness or refined. Solidifying the molten magnesium material by cooling serves to provide an ingot for casting which is extremely reduced in the porosity peculiar to the addition of an alkaline earth metal. Casting such the ingot serves to provide a product having good qualities.

Abstract translation: 一种生产通过加入碱土金属阻燃的精制镁材料的方法。 在该过程中，通过使熔融镁材料的表面与可浮渣的气氛气体接触，同时熔融的镁材料受到垂直涡流的影响，在薄膜中形成浮渣。 浮渣通过垂直方向的涡流将杂质漂浮在熔融镁材料的表面上。 所得的渣滓积聚在坩埚的拐角处，以防止杂质的再扩散。 涡流相对于熔融镁材料的连续施加导致浮渣薄膜连续地形成在熔融的镁材料上并附着在其上，以便在每次形成时包围杂质。 因此，熔融镁材料的清洁度提高或精制。 通过冷却来固化熔融镁材料用于提供铸造用铸锭，其极大地降低了添加碱土金属所特有的孔隙率。 铸造这种锭用于提供具有良好品质的产品。

Abstract: A magnesium based hydrogen storage alloy powder which is useful as a hydrogen supply material for powering internal combustion engine or fuel cell vehicles. The alloy contains greater than about 85 atomic percent magnesium, about 2-8 atomic percent nickel, about 0.5-5 atomic percent aluminum and about 2-7 atomic percent rare earth metals or mixtures of rare earth metals. The rare earth elements may be Misch metal and may predominantly contain Ce and/or La. The alloy may also contain about 0.5-5 atomic percent silicon. The alloys can be modified to store more than 4 wt. % hydrogen, with a reduced hydride bond strength (i.e. about 64 kJ/mole) which allows for economic recovery of the stored hydrogen. Also, they have a plateau pressure about two times greater than pure Mg and comparable bond energies and plateau pressures to Mg2Ni alloys, while reducing the amount of incorporated nickel by 25-30 atomic %. Also, the storage capacity of the alloy is significantly greater than the 3.6 wt. % of Mg2Ni material.
