Abstract:
1. A method of producing a compacted block of material constructed of one or more units consisting of matter comprising an ammonia-saturated material capable of reversibly desorbing and ad- or absorbing ammonia surrounded by a gas-permeable enclosure made of a flexible material having a thermal conductivity of at least five times the thermal conductivity of said ammonia-saturated material at −70° C. to 250°, the method comprising: wrapping said matter comprising an ammonia-saturated material capable of reversibly ad- or absorbing and desorbing ammonia into a gas-permeable, flexible material having a thermal conductivity of at least five times the thermal conductivity of said ammonia-saturated material at −70° C. to 250° C. so that one or more units of wrapped matter are provided, and compressing said one or more units by an external pressure of at least about 5 MPa, wherein, optionally, said one or more units are placed in a container or mold having one or two opposite open end(s) and optionally one or more removable walls and said external pressure is exerted uni-axial through the open end(s), optionally via a plate.
