Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a storage tank for storing a sorbent material. Said storage tank comprises a pressure vessel, a connecting element to an external supply system, at least on sorbent material which contains a sorbent and an adsorbate that adsorbs thereto, especially a gaseous fuel, preferably hydrogen, and which is stored in the storage tank at least during proper use of the storage tank, and a conduit for feeding and/or discharging sorbent material into/from the storage tank. At least one second duct is provided for supplying and/or evacuating a gas (gas duct). The sorbent is formed on the basis of heavy-duty adsorbents based on activated carbon in the form of discrete, activated carbon grains, preferably spherical ones. At least 70 percent of the entire pore volume of the heavy-duty adsorbents are formed by microspores having a diameter of ≦20.
