Abstract:The present work investigates the hydration reaction of a composite made up of β-lanthanum sulfate and thermally expanded graphite for possible use as a chemical heat storage technique for exhaust heat below 250°C. The e ects that water concentration and hydration temperature exert on hydration behavior were mainly studied via the use of a disklike pelletized sample with a β-lanthanum sulfate content of 98 wt%. These e ects were experimentally investigated using a thermal-gravimetric apparatus. The maximum hyd… Show more
