  • Use of a magnesium-based material for producing dihydrogen or electricity
    Patent number: 10407303
    Abstract: Use of a material (3) for producing hydrogen or electricity, wherein the material comprises at least 50% by weight of a reagent for hydrolysis upon contact with an aqueous solution to obtain hydrogen. The reagent comprises: a first compound chosen from magnesium metal, magnesium hydride, and mixtures thereof, and a second compound alloyed with the first compound, wherein the second compound is chosen from graphite, carbon fibers, and mixtures thereof. The first compound represents at least 75% by weight of the reagent, while the second compound represents between 1% and 25% by weight of the reagent. Use of a capsule containing the material. Method and corresponding production device.

  • Hemihydrogenation method for dinitriles
    Patent number: 6521779
    Abstract: The invention concerns the hydrogenation in amine function of a nitrile function of a dinitrile to obtain the corresponding aminonitrile. More precisely, the invention concerns the hemihydrogenation of a dinitrile into the corresponding aminonitrile, in a liquid medium, characterized in that it consists in operating in the presence of a Raney nickel or cobalt catalyst containing copper and/or silver and/or gold and in the presence of an alkaline or alkaline-earth metal hydroxide. The hemihydrogenation of adiponitrile provides amino-6 capronitrile, compound which can be easily transformed by cyclization hydrolysis into caprolactam, the starting product for the synthesis of polyamide-6.
