A team led by Kanazawa University in Japan has developed a cleaner method for the recycling of several rare earths (REs) such as yttrium (Y) and europium (Eu) used as phosphors in fluorescent lamps (FLs). These are already used to remove toxic metals from solid waste. Credit: Kanazawa University. Mashio, Teruya Maki, Ismail M.M.

Several companies are developing chemical processes, but these are still at pilot scale, and Aqua’s execs see serious challenges in delivering the required product purity and dealing with waste streams. Aqua Metals has developed a process that it says is much cleaner, more efficient and more cost-effective.

This is cleaner and better for the environment than producing petrol and diesel. This will allow the grid to draw renewable energy from cars and vans which are plugged in, with their batteries replenished when energy is cleaner at off-peak times. That’s why the UK Government has banned the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030.

The battery pack stores electrical energy and supplies power to the electric motor. 7 DC-DC Converter: A DC-DC converter converts high voltage DC supply from the battery to low voltage supply. Electric motors have higher efficiency rates compared to internal combustion engines, which waste a significant amount of energy as heat.

This research revealed utility energy storage as the most promising of possible applications, with a relatively low expense and abundant battery supply. The most promising application identified for second use batteries is to replace grid-connected combustion turbine peaker plants and provide peak-shaving services.
