The invention is an engine that converts low-grade thermal energy into mechanical work. The innovation in the proposed solution is the possibility of using low-quality heat from renewable energy sources or waste heat in a previously unused manner. A significant advantage of the proposed solution is that this engine does not require electricity for

Recycling or refurbishing of lithium-ion batteries is crucial in tackling the challenges of climate change and air pollution. While there is the demand for batteries to have more capacity and longer life cycles, lots of time and investment are also required to dismantle and recycle batteries. Precious metal, such as Lithium, needs to be saved while

Waste management has become a critical issue as cities run out of landfill sites - the traditional method of disposing waste - as they grapple with rising waste volumes due to growing urban populations and limited land availability. A Polish company offers a waste-to-energy (WTE) solution that simplifies waste management by converting biomass and w

In the recent years, there has been a growing demand for biotechnology-based processes for material, chemical and fuel production to minimise the environmental impacts that chemical technology based alternatives may cause, and an increasing need to reduce waste generation amidst resource and environmental concerns. A research team has developed an

This technology provides a more eco-friendly solution to convert non-biodegradable plastics into fuels and chemical feedstocks. In Singapore, about 96% of the plastics waste is incinerated, which contributes to Singapore's CO 2 emissions and aggravates global climate change. The remaining 4% is recycled only after the plastics have been cleaned and

Mixed plastic input is cut into 10-12 mm and enters an extruder where it is melted at 200-250°C and oxygen is eliminated. The melt continues to be heated up by the superheater at 350-400°C, producing oil vapor. Subsequently, the turbulent flow medium enters the heated tubular reactor (550-600°C). The blades built into the reactor anneal the partial

This invention is related to a novel chemical process for extracting and recycling lead from lead acid battery paste and lead ores using a batch of non-acidic and non-hazardous solvents. This method is based on the complete dissolution of all lead compounds except metallic lead at ambient conditions and without using furnace or strong acids to extr

As the consumption of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for the transportation and consumer electronics sectors continues to grow, so does the pile of battery waste. Lithium-ion battery waste retains value particularly in the form of metal ions in the cathode part of the device, but few standardised methods exist to extract, recover, and reuse these pre

A UK company has developed a battery that does not run out. This is by using recycled nuclear waste and it converts radiation energy into electrical energy. Because it uses nuclear waste that stays radioactive for thousands of years, it can also produce electricity for thousands of years as well. In other words, it is a battery that never runs out,

This optical fibre sensor has been developed in cooperation with an industrial collaborator that has an application requiring a sensor capable of measuring humidity in a harsh waste water treatment environment. The sensor employs a Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) which acts as the basis of the Relative Humidity (RH) sensor design and the humidity sensing

The companyis an environmental technology provider to general & hazardous waste industry, food & beverage industry, horticulture,agriculture and farming industry introduces our highly advanced magnetic plasma system as an alternative green solution for handling and clean reduction of solid waste. The innovativeMagnetic Plasmasystem uses plasma tech

In comparison with the combustion of diesel oil, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a type of cryogenic clean fuel, which is the crucial impetus of the country economy. It is an attractive solution to use it as engine fuel for cruises, barges, inner river ships as well as some heavy trucks. Before being burned, LNG will be vaporized and superheated to

The up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) and up-flow fixed film (UFF) in a single bioreactor is used as an integrated bioreactor in the form of UASB-FF bioreactor to produce biohydrogen from palm oil mill effluent (POME). The lab scale UASB-FF bioreactor (total volume 3.5 L, working volume 2.55 L, and liquid height 80 cm) with an external settli

Nanobubbles technology is currently being incorporated into massive range of applications across all industries. Some of the current and expected applications includes: Commercial - Bottle water; Carbonated water/drinks; Water conditioning units; Water for spas, baths, whirlpools, swimming pools water filtering units, Water for use in the manufactu

A novel configuration of a system has been developed which utilizes ejectors in a unique way to produce power and cooling simultaneously by utilizing low grade heat. Low grade heat is abundantly available in industries like power plants, utility companies, petrochemical plants, steel, and glass manufacturers etc. Low grade heat is also available fr
