Investigation of potential alternative hydrogen carrier, Mg supported zeolite with temperature programmed desorption of NH3.

Magnesium ion exchanged zeolite A was subject to the measurement of the temperature programmed desorption of NH3 to explore the possibility of the potential hydrogen carrier. The result suggested that the Mg supported NaA zeolite released a significant amount of ammonia corresponding to 1.4 Hwt% hydrogen at around 373 K. Under the same condition after the NH3 adsorption at ambient temperature, the MgCl2 sample released 1.0 Hwt% hydrogen at around 340 K. The present work suggests that the Mg supported zeolite can also be utilized as hydrogen carrier.
