The “HeatLab” team (ULNANOTECH’s startup) has developed an energy-efficient technology to produce magnesium hydride (MgH2)

The o "HeatLab" team has developed an energy-efficient technology to produce magnesium hydride (MgH₂). During studies of the activity of magnesium powders, a method was found to intensify the process of magnesium hydrogenation. Activation of the surface allowed increasing the rate of sorption of hydrogen into magnesium powder, as well as lowering the operating temperature and pressure of the process. Magnesium hydride obtained in "HeatLab" has a hydrogenation degree of more than 95%, produch united at a hydrogenation plant of its own manufacture. For hydrogenation unit design the innovative technological techniques were applied.

Magnesium hydride (MgH2) is considered one of the most promising materials for hydrogen storage, it can be used in metallurgy, chemical technology, pyrotechnic production, rocket fuel, cosmetology, medicine and pharmaceuticals.
