Where does the heat for the methylcyclohexane dehydrogenation reaction in organic liquid hydrogen storage (LOHC) technology come from?
Thread Content
I would like to ask everyone: In the organic liquid hydrogen storage (LOHC) technology that uses methylcyclohexane as a carrier, the dehydrogenation reaction of methylcyclohexane is an exothermic reaction; where does the heat for this reaction come from? If anyone knows, please let me know. Thank you!
The methylcyclohexane dehydrogenation reaction is endothermic, and the heat required comes from external heat sources such as the combustion of fossil fuels, electric heating, or solar energy. In industrial applications, these heat sources require specialized heating systems to transfer thermal energy to the reactor in order to maintain the temperature necessary for the dehydrogenation reaction. .
