    摘要: Disclosed is a novel fluid flow field plate for use in a solid polymer electrolyte fuel cell. The flow field plate is made of a suitable electrically conducting material and comprises a substantially planar surface, a flow field formed in said substantially planar surface, said flow field comprising a plurality of staggered lands defining a network of substantially symmetric interconnected orifices and diagonal channels in the flow field and a fluid supply manifold through which fuel and an oxidant are introduced to the flow field and a fluid exhaust manifold through which reaction by-products and excess fuel and oxidant are removed from the flow field. Streams of the fuel, oxidant and reaction by-products are continually separated and diverted into separate channels, and the separated streams are then mixed with streams from adjacent channels in the orfices.

    摘要: A modular unitized electrochemical fuel cell cartridge (20) is formed from a mono-polar anode plate (22), a second mono-polar cathode plate (24 ) and a solid polymer membrane electrode assembly (26) operably interposed between the anode and the cathode. An electrochemical fuel cell stack is provided having at least one removable fuel cell cartridge, a pair of current collectors which are individually disposed on opposite sides of the anode and the cathode plates and a pair of end plates which are individually disposed on opposite sides of the current collectors from the anode and cathode plates. Sealing ridges (42) and mating grooves (44) as well as alignment means (46) enable the easy assembly of a modular unitized fuel cell cartridge and stacking said cartridge.

    摘要: A process for the extraction and recovery of bitumen from oil sands and a process for the treatment of tailings are disclosed. Bitumen is recovered in a process comprising contacting a polysilicate microgel with an ore sand oil to produce a froth comprising bitumen and a tailings stream comprising water, sand and clay fines. Preferably the tailings stream is dewatered and recovered water may be recycled to the extraction process. Polysilicate microgel may be carried through to a dewatering step and enhances flocculation in dewatering said tailings.

    摘要: There is provided a process for sealing a coolant plate to an adjacent bi-polar plate or coolant plate in an electrochemical cell. The first coolant plate comprises at least one mating region for mating with a complementary region on the adjacent plate, the adjacent plate is a second coolant plate or a bipolar plate of the electrochemical cell, and the first coolant plate and the adjacent plate each comprise a polymer and conductive filler. The process comprises the step of welding the mating region to the complementary region to create a seal formed by the polymer at the mating region and the complementary region. Welding may be done using resistance welding or vibration welding processes.

    摘要: An electrically conductive electrochemical cell component is disclosed. The cell component includes a first coolant plate and an adjacent plate, wherein the adjacent plate is a second coolant plate or a bipolar plate. The first coolant plate has at least one mating region, preferably a rib, for mating with a complementary region, preferably a groove, on the adjacent plate. The first coolant plate and the adjacent plate are each made of a polymer and conductive filler blend. The first coolant plate is joined to the adjacent plate by a seal formed by the polymer at the mating region and the complementary region. The seal is created using vibrational or resisitive welding processes.
