According to one aspect of the present invention, a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) device includes an adsorption tower configured to introduce hydrogen gas and adsorb impurity components in the hydrogen gas by using a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) method, an adsorbent of one layer made of activated carbon or an adsorbent of two layers in which activated carbon and zeolite are stacked being disposed in the adsorption tower, the hydrogen gas containing carbon monoxide (CO) of 0.5 vol % or more and 6.0 vol % or less and methane (CH) of 0.4 vol % or more and 10 vol % or less as the impurity components; and a densitometer configured to detect a concentration of CO in the hydrogen gas discharged from the adsorption tower, wherein the impurity components are adsorbed and removed to cause the CO concentration measured by the densitometer to fall below a threshold.

A method for producing p-xylene, comprising: a dimerization step of bringing a first raw material comprising isobutene into contact with a dimerization catalyst to generate C8 components comprising diisobutylene; a cyclization step of bringing a second raw material comprising the C8 components into contact with a dehydrogenation catalyst comprising Pt in the presence of water to obtain a reaction product comprising p-xylene; and a collection step of collecting p-xylene from the reaction product.

Production method for p-xylene

The invention provides a hydrogen storage material comprising a porous carbon material having oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface, and Li bonded to the surface of the porous carbon material. The hydrogen storage material of the invention has more excellent hydrogen storage capacity than the prior art.
