Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Concentrated solar power (CSP) has received widespread attention and research globally as a mature and promising renewable energy technology. Given the intermittent and unstable nature of solar energy, thermal energy storage technology has become a key component of CSP systems. Common heat storage media in these systems include molten salt, thermal oil, and solid materials. However, these media still face some limitations in practical applications. For example, molten salt has a relatively narrow applicable operating temperature range. Therefore, developing new heat storage and transfer media to improve the overall efficiency of CSP systems has become an urgent priority.
[0003] Magnesium-based hydrides are considered promising thermochemical thermal storage materials due to their high heat storage density. However, their application in concentrated solar power (CSP) systems faces several challenges. Magnesium-based hydrides require high temperatures for hydrogen release and exhibit slow reaction kinetics.

[0044] This invention proposes a method for preparing magnesium-based hydride slurry.
[0045] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present invention, the preparation method of the magnesium-based hydride slurry includes the following steps:
[0046] Metallic Ti and metallic Mn were prepared according to the atomic mass ratio of Ti atoms to Mn atoms in TiMn2, and then placed in a high vacuum electric arc melting furnace for melting to obtain magnesium-based hydride catalyst TiMn2;
[0047] Prepare MgH2 compound and magnesium-based hydride catalyst TiMn2 obtained by smelting according to the first component ratio, and place them in a ball mill jar with an air filling valve. Fill the ball mill jar with stainless steel grinding balls and seal the ball mill jar.
[0048] Hydrogen gas is introduced into the ball mill jar through the gas filling valve, the ball mill jar is placed into the planetary ball mill, the planetary ball mill is started, and magnesium-based hydride composite material is obtained.
[0049] The organosilicon oil and the magnesium-based hydride composite material obtained after starting the planetary ball mill were prepared according to the second component ratio and placed in the same container for stirring to obtain magnesium-based hydride slurry.
[0050] In this embodiment, the metallic Ti can be high-purity Ti particles, such as Ti particles with a purity of 99.9% and a particle size of 3*3mm, and the metallic Mn can be electrolytic Mn flakes with a size of 1-10mm. It should be noted that the materials listed above are merely illustrative examples and should not be considered as limiting the technical solution of the present invention. When metallic Ti and metallic Mn are placed in a high-vacuum electric arc melting furnace for melting, the particles need to be repeatedly turned and melted four times to ensure uniform melting.
[0051] In the step of charging hydrogen into the grinding jar through the charging valve, loading the grinding jar into the planetary ball mill, and starting the planetary ball mill to obtain the magnesium-based hydride composite material, the purpose of ball milling is to change the physical properties of the magnesium-based hydride catalyst TiMn2 obtained by high-vacuum electric arc melting furnace, transforming it from a large solid block into fine solid particles. Charging high-pressure hydrogen into the ball mill valve is to prevent the decomposition of MgH2 during ball milling. This is because in conventional ball milling, the friction between the material, the stainless steel grinding balls, and the grinding jar generates heat, which easily leads to the decomposition of MgH2 into Mg and H2. Mg is prone to cold welding during ball milling, affecting the milling effect and causing a decline in material properties.
[0052] In the step of preparing the silicone oil according to the second component ratio and starting the planetary ball mill to obtain the magnesium-based hydride composite material, and then stirring it in the same container to obtain the magnesium-based hydride slurry, the stirring time can be controlled within the range of 10 to 20 hours to achieve sufficient stirring of the silicone oil and the magnesium-based hydride composite material obtained after starting the planetary ball mill. Furthermore, stirring the MgH2-TiMn2 composite material with the silicone oil with good fluidity and heat transfer properties results in a final magnesium-based hydride slurry with higher heat storage density.
[0053] This embodiment utilizes the high heat storage density of magnesium-based hydrides and the high fluidity and thermal conductivity of organosilicon oil to prepare a novel heat storage and heat transfer medium. Furthermore, the medium incorporates a magnesium-based hydride catalyst, TiMn2. TiMn2 can lower the ambient temperature required for the hydrogen release reaction of the hydride and increase the reaction rate, effectively improving heat storage density and power generation efficiency in solar thermal power generation systems, reducing system operating costs, and achieving efficient recycling of heat storage and release under high-temperature conditions.
[0054] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first composition ratio is: 95-98 wt% MgH2 and 5-2 wt% TiMn2. In this embodiment, TiMn2 acts as a catalyst during the reaction of MgH2 absorbing heat and releasing hydrogen. Only a small amount of TiMn2 is needed to achieve a high catalytic effect. Excessive TiMn2 is not conducive to controlling the reaction rate and will cause material waste. Therefore, the first composition ratio is set to: 95-98 wt% MgH2 and 5-2 wt% TiMn2.
[0055] In one embodiment of the present invention, the second component ratio is: 15-35 wt% silicone oil and 85-65 wt% magnesium-based hydride composite material. In this embodiment, Helisol 5 can be used as the silicone oil. The hydrogen release temperature of the above-mentioned magnesium-based hydride composite material is about 250°C. After adding silicone oil, the prepared magnesium-based hydride slurry is in the form of a slurry or paste and has a certain fluidity. The prepared magnesium-based hydride slurry can be placed in a thermal storage tank to play a role in heat storage and heat transfer in a solar thermal power generation system.
[0056] To prevent the oxidation of magnesium-based hydrides, in one embodiment of the present invention, the steps of preparing MgH2 compound and magnesium-based hydride catalyst TiMn2 obtained by smelting according to the first composition ratio and placing them into a ball mill jar with an air filling valve, filling the ball mill jar with stainless steel grinding balls, and sealing the ball mill jar are carried out in an inert gas environment.
[0057] And / or, the step of preparing the organosilicon oil and the magnesium-based hydride composite material obtained after starting the plasma ball mill according to the second composition ratio, and then stirring them in the same container to obtain the magnesium-based hydride slurry is carried out in an inert gas environment.
[0058] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of arranging metallic Ti and metallic Mn according to the atomic mass ratio of Ti atoms to Mn atoms in TiMn2 and placing them in a high-vacuum electric arc melting furnace for melting specifically includes the following steps:
[0059] Metallic Ti and metallic Mn are prepared according to the atomic mass ratio of Ti atoms to Mn atoms in TiMn2 and placed in a clean high-vacuum electric arc melting furnace;
[0060] Vacuum evacuation is performed inside the vacuum arc melting furnace;
[0061] A small amount of argon gas is introduced into the vacuum arc melting furnace;
[0062] The vacuum arc melting furnace is started to melt the metallic Ti and metallic Mn in the furnace.
[0063] In this embodiment, the vacuum evacuation step inside the vacuum arc melting furnace is to remove oxygen from the furnace and prevent oxidation of the metal raw materials. The step of introducing a small amount of argon gas into the furnace further isolates the metal raw materials from oxygen and prevents the reaction from being too violent and causing a fire or explosion risk.
[0064] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, before the step of preparing the MgH2 compound and the smelted magnesium-based hydride catalyst TiMn2 according to the first composition ratio and placing them into a ball mill jar equipped with an air filling valve, the following step is further included:
[0065] In an inert gas environment, the obtained magnesium-based hydride catalyst TiMn2 was crushed into small pieces of 1-10 mm using a titanium alloy mortar and pestle. The small pieces were then placed in a high-temperature and high-pressure hydrogen reactor, and hydrogen gas at 4 MPa was introduced to heat the reactor to 350°C.
[0066] In this embodiment, the TiMn2 catalyst material is a classic AB2-type hydrogen storage material that can reversibly absorb and desorb hydrogen at room temperature. However, after the material is prepared, it needs to undergo activation treatment. Activation refers to the process of treating the TiMn2 catalyst material under high temperature and high hydrogen pressure conditions, which forces the material to hydrogenate, transforming the catalyst material's performance from a relatively stable state (not absorbing hydrogen at room temperature) to a state of reversible hydrogen absorption and desorption. Therefore, hydrogen needs to be introduced into the reactor to achieve the activation of the TiMn2 catalyst.
[0067] To facilitate subsequent ball milling of the MgH2 compound and the smelted magnesium-based hydride catalyst TiMn2, and to ensure thorough mixing of the MgH2 compound and the smelted magnesium-based hydride catalyst TiMn2, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4 In one embodiment of the present invention, before the step of preparing the MgH2 compound and the smelted magnesium-based hydride catalyst TiMn2 according to the first composition ratio and placing them into a ball mill jar equipped with an air filling valve, the following step is further included:
[0068] The heated small pieces are ground, and the ground powder is then sieved through a 200-mesh sieve.
[0069] When the ball mill is running, it drives the grinding jar to rotate. The stainless steel grinding balls inside the grinding jar crush the raw material to be ground through collision and falling. In order to ensure that the stainless steel grinding balls have sufficient inertial potential energy to grind the raw material when the grinding jar rotates, in one embodiment of the present invention, the step of filling the grinding jar with stainless steel grinding balls specifically includes:
[0070] Multiple stainless steel grinding balls with diameters ranging from 2 to 10 mm are loaded into the grinding jar according to a ratio of 20:1 between the mass of the stainless steel grinding balls and the total mass of the MgH2 compound and the magnesium-based hydride catalyst TiMn2 placed in the grinding jar.
[0071] In this way, the quality of the stainless steel grinding balls is ensured so that they have sufficient inertial potential energy, and the diameter of the stainless steel grinding balls is controlled to be 2-10mm to ensure that the particle size of the raw material is not too large after grinding.
[0072] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment of the present invention, the steps of filling the milling jar with hydrogen gas through the gas filling valve, loading the milling jar into the planetary ball mill, starting the planetary ball mill, and obtaining the magnesium-based hydride composite material specifically include the following steps:
[0073] Repeatedly introduce argon gas into the ball mill jar and evacuate the ball mill jar until the oxygen in the ball mill jar is removed, then introduce hydrogen gas at 10-20 MPa.
[0074] The grinding jar is loaded into the planetary ball mill;
[0075] The planetary ball mill is set to intermittent operation mode, with the following operating parameters: 30 minutes of ball mill operation time, 30 minutes of pause time, and a total operating time of 3 to 6 hours.
[0076] Open the vent valve of the grinding jar to reduce the air pressure inside the grinding jar;
[0077] Repeatedly introduce argon gas into the grinding jar and evacuate the grinding jar until the hydrogen gas inside the grinding jar is removed;
[0078] In an inert gas environment, the ball mill jar was opened to remove the magnesium-based hydride composite material.
[0079] In this embodiment, the milling jar has an inflation valve and an exhaust valve. The purpose of repeatedly introducing argon gas into the milling jar and evacuating it until all oxygen is removed is to prevent the frictional heat generated during milling from causing a reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, which could lead to an explosion. Similarly, the purpose of repeatedly introducing argon gas into the milling jar and evacuating it until all hydrogen is removed is to prevent hydrogen from escaping into the air, thus avoiding the risk of ignition for operators in a hydrogen-filled environment. The step of opening the milling jar to remove the magnesium-based hydride composite material in an inert gas environment is to prevent the magnesium-based hydride from oxidizing upon contact with oxygen in the air, causing shape changes, and consequently affecting the heat storage performance of the final slurry.
[0080] This invention also proposes a magnesium-based hydride slurry, which is prepared by the method described in any one of the above embodiments. Since this magnesium-based hydride slurry employs all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it possesses at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated further here.
[0081] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
