Hydrogenation naphthalene

In contrast, a catalytic reaction pair of tetralin dehydrogenation/naphthalene hydrogenation (Equation 13.3) is another choice for stationary applications. Although the storage densities of tetralin are relatively low (3.0 wt%, 28.2 kg-H2/m3), rates of absorbing and desorbing hydrogen... 

The catalysis pair of decalin dehydrogenation/naphthalene hydrogenation is usable as a hydrogen storage medium loaded in hydrogen vehicles. Here, the power density obtainable from decalin is the most significant factor for the onboard application.

The product slate for the lithium quench was even more complex, with approximately equal amounts of four products 1-ethyl naphthalene, l-(4-hydroxybutyl) naphthalene, 1-ethyl 1-protio, 4-deutero 4-protio naphthalene, and l-(4-hydroxybutyl) 1-protio, 4-deutero 4-protio naphthalene. Hydrogen gas, in the isotopic form HD, was evolved on quenching the lithium and sodium systems, but not the potassium system.
