Method for the dehydrogenation of organic molecules

A reaction vessel (RB) which:

• i) has been provided with a device for generating an inductive field (IF);
• and
• ii) comprises a solid loose material (FLM),
• wherein the solid loose material (FLM)
• is such that it can couple magnetically to the inductive field (IF) and
• consists of a metal (M) or metal alloy (ML) which can couple magnetically to the inductive field (IF) or has an outer layer (Sch) comprising or consisting of a metal (M) or metal alloy (ML), and
• the reaction vessel is such that the solid loose material (FLM) can couple to the inductive field (IF), and
• the reaction vessel has an inlet for supply of organic molecules (OM),
• and the reaction vessel is configured such that the solid loose material (FLM) comes into contact with the organic molecules (OM) after they have been supplied.

A process for dehydrogenating organic molecules (OM), comprising the following steps:

• a) feeding the inorganic molecules (OM) into a reaction vessel (RB),
• wherein the reaction vessel;
• i) has been provided with a device for producing an inductive field (IF);
• and
• ii) comprises a solid loose material (FLM),
• b) applying an inductive field (IF) and allowing the inductive field (IF) to act on the solid loose material (FLM) and the organic molecules (OM),
• c) removing hydrogen from the reaction vessel (RB) during and/or after step b),
• d) removing dehydrogenated organic molecules (DOM) from the reaction vessel (RB) during and/or after step b),
• wherein the solid loose material (FLM)
• is such that it can couple magnetically to the inductive field (IF), and
• consists of a metal (M) or metal alloy (ML) which can couple magnetically to the inductive field (IF) or has an outer layer (Sch) comprising a metal (M) or metal alloy (ML), and
• the reaction vessel is such that the solid loose material (FLM) can couple to the inductive field (IF) and the solid loose material (FLM) comes into contact with the organic molecules (OM).
