  1. MAGNESIUM BASED FOAMS FOR HYDROGEN STORAGE By: J. Omar Gil Posada Supervisor: Professor Peter J. Hall Chemical and Process Engineering Department. University of Strathclyde James Weir Building, 75 Montrose Street, Glasgow G1 1XJ Scotland.

  2. Introduction Hydrogen Today hydrogen is used primarily as a chemical precursor to produce different compounds but hydrogen has the potential to be a clean fuel. At STP 1g H2 occupy almost 11L J. Omar Gil Posada

  4. Aim The hydrogen adsorption and desorption on magnesium based foams prepared by solid phase were evaluated as a function of the foaming agent (ZrH2, Cs2CO3 and CaH2) and its composition in the sample. J. Omar Gil Posada

  12. Conclusions • The system Mg + Cs2CO3 shows the best hydrogen sorption properties compared with the other systems. • After several runs the magnesium based foams keep their sorption properties, this does not happen with pure magnesium samples. • The magnesium samples seem to have occluded porosity. • It was found that Ni increases the amount of hydrogen adsorbed.
