Chemical Engineering :: Chementator :: Hydrogen http://www.che.com Chemical Engineering en-us 2013 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 12:11:59 EDT A method to produce an iron-titanium alloy for H2-storage A new and inexpensive way to produce TiFe — an alloy with potential as a material for reversibly storing hydrogen — has been developed by the research groups of professors Zenji Horita and Etsuo Akiba at Kyushu University (Fukuoka, Japan; www.kyushu-u.ac.jp). The TiFe is made by a technique known... http://www.che.com/chementator/hydrogen/10371.html Mon, 1 Apr 2013 0:00:00 EDT Production facility for stabilized sodium slated for startup A new plant for manufacturing sodium silicide (Na4Si4;diagram), a non-flammable, air-stable powder that reacts with water to generate pure hydrogen, is under development near Niagara Falls, N.Y. by SiGNa Chemistry Inc. (New York; signachem.com). Scheduled for startup in the third quarter of 2013, the... http://www.che.com/chementator/hydrogen/10378.html Mon, 1 Apr 2013 0:00:00 EDT A less-expensive process to recover CO2 from PSA offgas At Achema 2012 (June 18–22; Frankfurt am Main, Germany), Union Engineering A/S (Fredericia, Denmark; www.union.dk) will be presenting its patented FlashCO2 process — both at the exhibition (Hall 9.1, Stand E29) and in a congress lecture (Monday, June 18th at 11:30 in the room Illusion 2)... http://www.che.com/chementator/hydrogen/9362.html Fri, 1 Jun 2012 0:00:00 EDT Reforming ethanol into hydrogen A group from the University of Canterbury (www.canterbury.ac.nz), and Industrial Research Ltd. (both Christchurch, New Zealand; www.irl.cri.nz), has produced hydrogen from ethanol via steam reforming in a non-thermal plasma reactor. The project is part of an Industrial Research concept called Hylink that... http://www.che.com/chementator/hydrogen/8815.html Sun, 1 Jan 2012 0:00:00 EST Waste disposal system for military operations The Micro Auto Gasification System (MAGS) is a compact solid-waste disposal system that is designed for energy-efficient operation onboard naval vessels, in forward-operating military bases and in other isolated installations. Developed by the Office of Naval Research (ONR; Arlington, Va.; www.onr.navy.mil)... http://www.che.com/chementator/hydrogen/8831.html Sun, 1 Jan 2012 0:00:00 EST ‘One-pot’ ammonia-borane recharging could boost fuel-cell vehicles Ammonia borane’s (AB) capacity to contain and easily release large amounts of hydrogen has made it an attractive candidate to store the gas for onboard fuel-cell powered vehicles. A major technological hurdle that remains is how to reintroduce hydrogen to spent AB in an energy-efficient way. Now, a... http://www.che.com/chementator/hydrogen/7930.html Sun, 1 May 2011 0:00:00 EDT
