Abstract

Hydrides of magnesium composites with additions of intermetalide ZrNi_0.5Al_1.5 and gra­phite were synthesized by reactive ball milling in hydrogen. It is shown that the duration of hydrogenation of magnesium after addition of ZrNi_0.5Al_1.5 and graphite is reduced. The influence of graphite on the particle size of composites was investigated. The effect of these additions and MgCl₂ concentration on the hydrolysis of magnesium hydride was established
