Notes:
Isothermal, isobaric measurements were made of the rate of hydrogen absorption by a slurry of LaNi5 powder suspended in n-undecane in a baffled stirred reactor. The data were interpreted using a model emobodying three resistances in series: a gas-liquid mass transfer resistance, a liquid-solid mass transfer resistance, and an “overall reaction resistance.”At the highest agitator speeds employed, 2,000 rpm, conversions of LaNi5 to hydride of 90% or better were obtained within one minute or less, thereby confirming the potential of the metal hydride slurry concept for commercial applications.
