Tego Magnan powder desorption kinetic curves

Fig. 2.6 (a) Desorption kinetic curves at various temperatures under initial hydrogen pressure of 0.1 MPa of the as-received, nonactivated, commercial MgH powder Tego Magnan and (b) the Arrhenius plot of the desorption rate for the estimate of the apparent activation energy, fi, using kinetics data for four temperatures 350, 375, 400, and 420°C (fi -120 kJ/mol). Coefficient of fit = 0.996... 

Figure 2.6a shows typical kinetic curves of first desorption carried out in a Sieverts-type apparatus at the initial hydrogen pressure of 0.1 MPa (atmospheric pressure of 1 bar) for the as-received, nonmilled, and nonactivated Tego Magnan powder. For each temperature, a fresh load of sample was desorbed. At each temperature in Fig. 2.6a, the desorption process is complete with 100% of MgH2 des-...
