Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a hydrogen purification/storage apparatus and method using a liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC).
Claims20
A hydrogen purification and storage apparatus comprising:
- a hydrogen supply unit;
- a reaction unit connected to the hydrogen supply unit via a hydrogen supply line, the reaction unit comprising a hydrogen storage material and a catalyst configured to accelerate hydrogenation of the hydrogen storage material;
- and
- a compressor installed in the hydrogen supply line, the compressor being configured to compress hydrogen supplied from the hydrogen supply unit, wherein
- the hydrogen storage material comprises a liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC);
- wherein the hydrogen supply line comprises:
- a first hydrogen supply line configured to interconnect the hydrogen supply unit and the compressor;
- a second hydrogen supply line configured to interconnect the compressor and the reaction unit;
- and
- a third hydrogen supply line configured to interconnect the compressor and the reaction unit along a path different from a path of the second hydrogen supply line, the third hydrogen supply line having a buffer tank.
