PURPOSE: A hydrogen storage apparatus is provided to facilitate hydrogen storage management by collecting micronized hydrogen storage alloys. CONSTITUTION: A hydrogen storage apparatus(100) comprises a container(110), a valve(120), a heat transfer plate(130), a magnetic plate(140), a filter(150), and a powder processing part(160). The container forms a space in which hydrogen storage alloys are stored. The valve controls the discharge of hydrogen. The heat transfer plate is vertically extended from the valve to the inside of the container. The magnetic plate collects fine powder of the hydrogen storage alloys generated when the hydrogen of the hydrogen storage alloys is repeatedly absorbed and discharged. The filter is attached to the top of the magnetic plate in order to filter the fine powder generated from the hydrogen storage alloys. The powder processing part is installed on the bottom of the container, and penetrates the magnetic plate in order to process the powder of the hydrogen storage alloys collected by the magnetic plate.
