Popis: A novel hydrogen separation process utilizing the selective absorption properties of metal hydrides was developed. Performance and operational data generated during a 9 month pilot plant demonstration of the process are used to describe the important technical features of the process. When applied to the separation of the hydrogen from the argon vent stream of an ammonia synthesis loop, the process is capable of producing a final hydrogen product of minimum purity 99% at an overall recovery of 90%–93%. Unique features of the hydrogen absorbent and absorber performance are discussed.
