A method for dehydrogenating a hydrogen carrier medium comprises the method steps of providing a metal-containing catalyst material, an at least partially loaded hydrogen carrier medium, a metal-free reaction accelerator substance, transferring hydrogen from the hydrogen carrier medium to the reaction accelerator substance and releasing hydrogen gas from the reaction accelerator substance.

Method and apparatus for dehydrogenating a hydrogen carrier medium

A system for storing energy includes a hydrogen production unit for producing hydrogen, a hydrogen storage device for storing hydrogen, with a loading unit for loading a carrier medium with the hydrogen produced in the hydrogen production unit and with an unloading unit for unloading the hydrogen from the loaded carrier medium, a heat generation unit for generating heat and a heat storage unit for storing the heat generated by the heat generation unit, with the heat storage unit connected with the unloading unit in order to supply heat.

System and method for storing and releasing energy

A reactor device for the release of a gas from a starting material includes a reactor housing having a longitudinal axis and at least one single reactor arranged in the reactor housing, the single reactor including a base plate oriented transversely to the longitudinal axis, a starting material flow channel defining a starting material flow direction, a catalyst arranged in the starting material flow channel, a heating unit for heating the catalyst and/or the starting material and a gas collection chamber arranged above the starting material flow channel for collecting the gas released from the starting material.

The invention relates to a process for obtaining a formate from a reaction mixture () in which a polyoxometallate ion, which acts as a catalyst, is in contact with an organic material at a temperature below 120&#xb0; C. to produce formic acid in an aqueous solution, with the following steps: a) separating a mixture of formic acid and water from the reaction mixture by reverse osmosis and/or as vapor (), the vapor () subsequently being condensed, and b) reacting the formic acid with a hydroxide () in aqueous solution to produce a solution of a formate.

A process for the deep desulfurisation of hydrocarbons (HC), in particular Natural Gas Condensate (NGC), and HC comprising diesel, pre-extracted diesel and naphtha, is described which is capable of reducing the sulfur content of these HC from 500 to 30 ppm. The process comprises contacting the hydrocarbon material with an oxidant selected from organic peroxy acids, organic peroxides, inorganic peroxides and mixtures thereof, in at least a stochiometric amount sufficient to oxidise a sulfur compound to a sulfone compound; contacting the hydrocarbon material with an aqueous extractant to allow at least a portion of the oxidised sulfur compounds to be extracted into the aqueous extractant, and separating the hydrocarbon material from the aqueous extractant to give a hydrocarbon material of reduced sulfur content. Optionally, the process may include a second and subsequent extractions with the aqueous extractant to further reduce sulfur content. A final extraction with an IL may be conducted. The invention also provides for substitution of the aqueous extractant with an IL in one or more of the other extraction steps. The extractants and by products generated during f01 oxidation can be recovered by simple distillation techniques.

An ionic liquid according to the invention is substantially halogen-free, has a low viscosity and is stable to hydrolytic degradation under test conditions. The ionic liquid is a compound of the formula (cation) (R'&#x2014;O&#x2014;SO), (cation) (R&#x2032;&#x2014;SO), or a mixture of the two compounds. It can be used in processes for the chemical conversion and separation of materials by employing the ionic liquid as a solvent, solvent additive, extraction agent or phase-transfer catalyst. It can also be used in a heat exchange device wherein the ionic liquid serves as a heat carrier or heat carrier additive.

This invention relates to a process for removing polarizable impurities from hydrocarbons and mixtures of hydrocarbons using ionic liquids as an extraction medium. By way of extraction, the degree of contamination of the hydrocarbon or mixture of hydrocarbons is reduced to a low or very low level. The specific ionic liquids are compounds of the Formula 1, which are organic salts that are liquid or can be melted to form a liquid and that can form at least a biphasic mixture with a hydrocarbon. The process is suitable for purifying a wide range of hydrocarbons under a wide range of process conditions.
