Abstract
A method for making a metal-hydride slurry includes adding metal to a liquid carrier to create a metal slurry and hydriding the metal in the metal slurry to create a metal-hydride slurry. In some embodiments, a metal hydride is added to the liquid carrier of the metal slurry prior to hydriding the metal. The metal can be magnesium and the metal hydride can be magnesium hydride.
Claims18
A method for making a metal-hydride slurry, comprising:
- (a) combining metal or a metal alloy, metal hydride, and a liquid carrier to create a metal slurry, wherein the metal or metal alloy is in the form of particles having a diameter of between 0.1 micron and 100 microns within the metal slurry, wherein the metal slurry comprises at least 1.2 weight percent of metal hydride;
- and
- (b) hydriding the metal particles in the slurry to create a metal-hydride slurry.
