ABSTRACT

The dehydration and hydration behavior of Mg-Al mixed hydroxides was studied to develop a new material for chemical heat storage. The mixing was expected to reduce the dehydration temperature of authentic magnesium hydroxide; this temperature corresponds to the temperature of heat storage operation. It was demonstrated that the dehydration of Mg- Al mixed hydroxides proceeded at around 250°C, which was lower than that in the case of authentic magnesium hydroxide. These hydroxides showed higher hydration reactivity than authentic magnesium oxide, under hydration at 110°C after dehydration at 250°C. These results indicate that Mg-Al mixed hydroxides are applicable for the utilization of industrial waste heat between 250 °C and 300°C.
