Researchers propose mechanochemistry-based process to recover metals from waste cathode materials; green and efficient

Green Car Congress

A team from Central South University, Changsha, China and Shaanxi University of Science & Technology, Xi’an, China, has proposed a mechanochemistry-based process to recover metals from waste cathode materials of LiCoO 2 (LCO) and LiFePO 4 (LFP) in spent Li-ion batteries (LIBs). —Jiang et al. These were co-ground.

New catalyst opens door to CO2 capture in coal-to-liquids process

Green Car Congress

World energy consumption projections expect coal to stay one of the world’s main energy sources in the coming decades, and a growing share of it will be used in CT—the conversion of coal to liquid fuels (CTL). China represents the largest coal market in the world and is expanding its coal-to-liquids (CTL) technology by ~2% per year.

CRI awarded €1.8M EU grant to scale CO2-to-methanol technology

Green Car Congress

CO 2 capture and clean-up: Waste gases are captured from the points of emission at the stack and transferred to the gas conditioning system where impurities are removed to produce CO 2 suitable for downstream methanol synthesis. CRI’s ETL technology consist of five process modules. In many ethanol production and biogas processes.
