nano-storage of hydrogen
“To address this problem, Froudakis and colleagues carried out
computer simulations to see how the hydrogen uptake of carbon
nanoscrolls could be affected by adding quantities of different alkali
metals. These impurities cause the atomic distance between the layers
of a scroll to vary.
“Their findings suggest that adding lithium ions should increase the
uptake of hydrogen at atmospheric pressure and room temperature from
0.19% to 3.31%.”
plastic to oil, by microwave
“Key to GRC’s process is a machine that uses 1200 different
frequencies within the microwave range, which act on specific
hydrocarbon materials. As the material is zapped at the appropriate
wavelength, part of the hydrocarbons that make up the plastic and
rubber in the material are broken down into diesel oil and combustible
gas.”
