Cheap Commercial Waste Water 
Green Car Congress

A Northwestern Engineering-led team has developed a highly porous smart sponge that selectively soaks up oil in water. Currently used solutions include burning the oil, using chemical dispersants to breakdown oil into very small droplets, skimming oil floating on top of water and/or absorbing it with expensive, unrecyclable sorbents.

The technology is to be commercialized by a spin-out from the University, MOF Technologies. Professor Stuart James in Queen’s School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering patented a novel technique for the synthesis of MOFs without using any solvents, even water, and on greatly reduced timescales, by making use of mechanochemistry.

Example of micro fibers produced with 20 wt % AB (ammonia borane) in water as core solution, showing smooth (nonporous) and cylindrical (noncollapsed) fibers; from a 2010 paper by the scientific team. The material could allow hydrogen to be stored in a cheap and practical way for transport applications, the company says.

Companies have looked into pumped hydroelectric systems that generate electricity from water flowing out of large artificial reservoirs, underground caverns that store hydrogen fuel electrolyzed from water, elevators that lift blocks of concrete and harvest their potential energy as they fall.

using just water, H 2 , CO 2 and sunlight. This proprietary novel gas fermentation technology converts the carbon monoxide-containing waste gases emitted by blast furnace, coke oven and BOF (basic oxygen furnace) operations into low-cost ethanol and high-value chemicals.

Depending on factors such as how the sun hits the ground, the amount of water or the fertilizer needed could vary patch by patch. With the new, cheap sensors, farmers will be able to collect data on their farms without worrying about the variability. One problem with mass-producing sensors, however, is that it creates a lot of waste.

Little seems developed in any wide commercial sense and certainly not to the extent of the pure electric car. The only by products are water and a fair degree of heat, the latter indicating a degree of inefficiency and wasted energy. Hence its supply would not be cheap, renewable nor sustainable in the long term.
