ない効果的な回収方法を提供するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for taking out and recovering a metal material for hydrogen storage from a container containing the metal material for hydrogen storage, which method is safe and does not deteriorate the performance of the metal material for hydrogen storage. This provides an effective collection method.

れている。Metal materials for hydrogen storage are considered to be used as a means of storing and transporting hydrogen, and as a means of energy conversion such as heat storage and air conditioning.
Materials such as Mg2Ni, TiMn, etc. are well known.

めに金属水素化物として記し、水素化前の状態も含める
ものとすする。Generally, these hydrogen storage materials are stored in a pressure-resistant container and the necessary hydrogen gas pressure is applied to form a metal hydride to store hydrogen, and when the hydrogen is extracted, the ambient conditions are controlled. Hydrogen is separated from the metal hydride by changing the This metal material for hydrogen storage will hereinafter be referred to as a metal hydride for the sake of simplicity, and the state before hydrogenation will also be included.
容器内に収納された金属水素化物は、水素化と脱水素化

器の異常等によって金属水素化物を容器外に取り出し回
収する操作も必要になってくる。Metal hydrides stored in containers gradually undergo hydrogen storage performance deterioration due to repeated hydrogenation and dehydrogenation over a long period of time. Therefore, regeneration treatment may be necessary to recover metal hydrides and restore performance. In addition, it becomes necessary to transfer the metal hydride stored in the container to another container, or to take out the metal hydride from the container and collect it due to an abnormality in the container.
したがって、本発明で言う回収方法とは、金属水素化物

燃焼する傾向にある。Regarding this recovery method, no sufficient consideration has been given to the handling, and it has been common sense to replace the waste with an inert gas. Metal hydrides tend to become fine powders on the micron or submicron order by repeating hydrogenation and dehydrogenation. In addition, the strength of the chemical activity resulting from the constituent metal elements unique to metal hydrides has an influence,
Easily oxidizes when left in air. The degree of oxidation varies depending on the type of metal hydride, powder particle size, contact status with oxygen, amount of residual hydrogen, etc., but highly active hydrides are more easily oxidized when exposed to air. tends to burn.

いた。When metal hydrides are oxidized, their hydrogen storage performance is significantly reduced and the heat of oxidation generates high temperatures, which poses safety problems. Therefore,
Even during recovery, a method is required to completely prevent oxidation as much as possible. Conventionally, as a recovery method to suppress this oxidation, an inert gas such as nitrogen gas or argon gas is introduced into a container containing all metal hydrides, and the inside of the container is replaced with the inert gas to separate air and metal hydrides. Collecting it in a form that prevents contact with it,
Alternatively, a method was generally used in which the material was left in an inert gas atmosphere for a period of time and then gradually taken out into the air for recovery.

て解決できない欠点を有している。However, this method using an inert gas atmosphere has problems such as the need to completely cut out all oxygen, making the equipment large and complicated, and reducing work efficiency. Although the degree of oxidation is somewhat alleviated when it is taken out, it still has unresolved drawbacks in terms of oxidation prevention.
本発明は、これらの問題点全解決し、安全で水素貯蔵性

ことを特徴とする。The present invention solves all of these problems and provides a safe and effective recovery method that does not deteriorate hydrogen storage performance. That is, in the present invention, before recovering the metal hydride, it is connected to a vacuum exhaust system at an appropriate temperature, dehydrogenation treatment is first performed, and then a liquid that hardly reacts with the metal hydride is introduced into the container. The method is characterized in that after the surface of the metal hydride is coated with the liquid, it is taken out of the container together with the liquid.

説明すると、まず脱水素化処理については、単に回収時

こるのを防止するというだけの理由ではない。Between the dehydrogenation treatment and the introduction of the liquid, it may be very effective to replace the inert gas with nitrogen gas or argon gas, which has been conventionally often done. The liquid used in the present invention is a liquid in a constant state,
It is preferable to have a relatively low vapor pressure, and it is also important that it is difficult to react with metal hydrides in order to prevent deterioration of properties. Suitable liquids that meet these conditions include organic solvents such as alcohol, acetone, ether, ethylene glycol, and glycerin, and inorganic solvents such as water and silicone oil. If a mixture is used, metal hydrides can be effectively recovered without deterioration of properties.
6 To explain the method of the present invention in more detail, first, the dehydrogenation treatment is not simply to prevent hydrogen generation from occurring due to the hydrogen decomposition reaction of the metal hydride during recovery.

きるという特徴がある。In general, even if the equilibrium dissociation pressure of a metal hydride powder is lower than atmospheric pressure at a certain temperature, if it forms a hydride phase, it will have a higher performance than one that has been sufficiently dehydrogenated. , susceptible to several stages of oxidation. Therefore, it is a particularly important operation from the point of view of preventing oxidation. When the trench is filled with a liquid, the metal hydride powder is completely covered with the liquid, so it is hardly oxidized even in an oxidizing atmosphere such as air during recovery. However, when recovering using the liquid of the present invention, metal hydrides can be recovered by washing them away with the liquid used. It has the characteristic that it can be recovered very effectively.

などの方法が適用できる。In addition, the metal hydride powder coated with the liquid is recovered after collection.
It is necessary to separate the liquid and metal hydride and reuse the metal hydride. In this case, it is possible to apply a method such as filtration of the liquid as necessary and then evaporation separation using conventional heating, reduced pressure, or the like.

る。Pressure-resistant containers containing metal hydrides require periodic inspections to confirm safety, and the metal hydrides must be taken out of the container. This will be explained as an example of the present invention.

o , p M n o , 1+T iM n 1. Three types of alloys of s were selected and each was filled into a container having a structure as shown in the figure. The metal hydride 1 is filled in a stainless steel pressure container 2 and a stainless steel lid 3 so that the porosity becomes about 50%. The lid 3 is fixed to the flange of the container 2 with fixing bolts 4 to ensure airtightness. Further, a vacuum valve 6 and a hydrogen valve 7 are attached to the stainless steel pipe 5 fixed to the lid, and a liquid valve 9 is attached to the pipe 8.

素化の繰り返しを各合金共1000回行った。The metal hydride 1 was filled into the container, the container was kept airtight with the redundant bolt 4, and then only the valve 6 was opened to evacuate the container. Then, only valve 7 was opened, and hydrogen was applied to the reactor to about 40 atm from a commercially available hydrogen cylinder to carry out a hydrogenation reaction. After the hydrogenation reaction was completed, only the valve 6 was opened to release hydrogen from the metal hydride until the pressure reached about atmospheric pressure, thereby carrying out a dehydrogenation reaction. This hydrogenation-dehydrogenation process was repeated 1000 times for each alloy.

められなかった。The metal hydride thus produced was recovered according to the present invention. That is, only the vacuum valve 6 is opened, and the inside of the container is evacuated until the pressure reaches about 10-50-5 rrr.After sufficient dehydrogenation treatment is performed, only the liquid valve 6 is opened, and ethyl alcohol is gradually poured into the container. and covered the surface of the metal hydride. Then, the fixing bolts 4 were loosened, the inside of the container was opened to the atmosphere, and the metal hydride turned into sludge was taken out of the container. At this time, no abnormality such as ignition was observed in any of the alloys.

放置)後、大気中に取り出す方法についても調べた。The three types of alloys obtained in this way were then heated and degassed to separate the ethyl alcohol, and together with the three types of alloys that did not undergo any hydrogenation (before recovery), they were subjected to a general hydrogenation characteristic measuring device. , pressure-composition-isotherm diagram, and other data were obtained. In addition, the same method as above can be applied to a method in which after dehydrogenation, the inside of the container is replaced with nitrogen gas and the liquid is immediately introduced, and a method in which the inside of the container is replaced with nitrogen gas (left for about 5 hours), which is the conventional method, is replaced with atmospheric air. I also looked into how to take it out.

次表に示す。The following table shows a comparison of the hydrogen release ability of each alloy from the data obtained.

小さいことがわかる。(Note) The numerical value C% in the table indicates the amount released before collection for each alloy.
From the results shown in the table (temperature is constant at 20℃), the characteristics after recovery using nitrogen gas, which is the conventional method, are compared to those before recovery. However, when using the recovery method using liquid according to the present invention and the recovery method in which liquid is introduced after inert gas replacement, the characteristics are almost 95% or more and there is no characteristic deterioration. You can see that it is very small.

できることがわかった。In the above example, ethyl alcohol was used as the liquid, but the deterioration of properties of many other liquids such as water, acetone, ethylene glycol, and trichlene was investigated using the same recovery method, but the liquid of the present invention was used. It turns out that it can be effectively recovered if you do this.
また回収時、液体を容器に充填する前に、窒素。Also, during collection, before filling the container with the liquid, nitrogen is added.

も、不活性ガスと液体との組み合わせによって改善する
ことができた。The method of completely replacing the inside of the container with an inert gas such as argon was a more effective method than simply filling the container with liquid. In other words, in the dehydrogenation state, the inside of the container has a considerable degree of vacuum, so replacing the liquid with an inert gas is better in terms of workability than suddenly introducing liquid into the vacuum. Even if dehydrogenation is insufficient and hydrogen is easily decomposed, hydrogen gas can be diluted by replacing it with an inert gas and can be handled safely. Furthermore, problems with conventional inert gas replacement could be improved by combining an inert gas and a liquid.
