Hydrogenation Catalyst for Toluene/MCH LOHC Process
The toluene/methylcyclohexane (MCH) liquid hydrogen carrier process is an innovative and efficient method for storing and transporting hydrogen. This process utilizes the reversible chemical transformation between toluene and methylcyclohexane to safely and effectively store hydrogen in liquid form, making it ideal for long-distance transport and various end-use applications.
Under high-pressure hydrogen and in the presence of Delion's hydrogenation catalyst, toluene reacts with hydrogen to form methylcyclohexane (MCH). MCH serves as a hydrogen-rich liquid carrier, storing hydrogen in a chemically bound form. It is then transported to the enduse site, where it is converted back into toluene and hydrogen is released at elevated temperatures in the presence of Delion's dehydrogenation catalyst.
