Utilizing waste hydrogen for energy recovery using fuel cells and associated technologies

Identification and Assessment of Available Technologies for Materials and Energy Recovery from Flexible Packaging Waste (fpw)

High rate copper and energy recovery in microbial fuel cells

Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) are a novel, promising technology for the recovery of metals. The prerequisite for upscaling from laboratory to industrial size is that high current and high power densities can be produced. In this study we report the recovery of copper from a copper sulfate stream (2 g L(-1) Cu(2+)) using a laboratory scale BES at high rate. To achieve this, we used a novel c...

Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies for Sustainable Future

This paper discusses some crucial energetic, environmental and sustainability issues and the role of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies as one of the potential solutions to these issues. The commercialization plans in various industrialized countries (USA, Canada, Japan, etc.) for these technologies have started by identifying the most likely early markets for hydrogen as an energy carrier and...
