摘要: A method for producing direct reduced metal material includes charging metal material to be reduced into a furnace space; evacuating an existing atmosphere from the furnace space so as to achieve an underpressure inside the furnace space; providing, in a main heating step, heat and hydrogen gas to the furnace space, so that heated hydrogen gas heats the charged metal material to a temperature high enough so that metal oxides present in the metal material are reduced, in turn causing water vapor to be formed; condensing and collecting the water vapor in a condenser below the charged metal material. The hydrogen gas is provided without recirculation of the hydrogen gas. The also includes a subsequently performed step of removing the reduced metal material from the furnace space, and storing and/or transporting the reduced metal material under an inert atmosphere.

摘要: A system and method for obtaining a metal oxide reduction product in a metal oxide reduction reaction using a pyrolysis-derived hydrogen from a pyrolysis reactor that pyrolyzes a hydrocarbon feedstock to deliver pyrolysis gases that include the pyrolysis-derived hydrogen, a pyrolysis carbon product and a hydrocarbon fraction of unreacted hydrocarbon feedstock. Pyrolysis gases are fed through a high-temperature carbon separator to separate the pyrolysis carbon product and then flow at a working temperature below pyrolyzation temperature to a reduction furnace that runs the metal oxide reduction reaction such that the pyrolysis-derived hydrogen participates in that reaction. A thermal management system maintains the working temperature of the pyrolysis gases and manages the processing of unreacted pyrolysis-derived hydrogen through heat exchange and other thermal management techniques and tools.

摘要: Herein discussed is a method of producing hydrogen comprising introducing a metal smelter effluent gas or a basic oxygen furnace (BOF) effluent gas or a mixture thereof into an electrochemical (EC) reactor, wherein the EC reactor comprises a mixed-conducting membrane. In an embodiment, the method comprises introducing steam into the EC reactor on one side of the membrane, wherein the effluent gas is on the opposite side of the membrane, wherein the effluent gas and the steam are separated by the membrane and do not come in contact with each other.

摘要: This invention provides processes and systems for converting biomass into high-carbon biogenic reagents that are suitable for a variety of commercial applications. Some embodiments employ pyrolysis in the presence of an inert gas to generate hot pyrolyzed solids, condensable vapors, and non-condensable gases, followed by separation of vapors and gases, and cooling of the hot pyrolyzed solids in the presence of the inert gas. Additives may be introduced during processing or combined with the reagent, or both. The biogenic reagent may include at least 70 wt %, 80 wt %, 90 wt %, 95 wt %, or more total carbon on a dry basis. The biogenic reagent may have an energy content of at least 12,000 Btu/lb, 13,000 Btu/lb, 14,000 Btu/lb, or 14,500 Btu/lb on a dry basis. The biogenic reagent may be formed into fine powders, or structural objects. The structural objects may have a structure and/or strength that derive from the feedstock, heat rate, and additives.

摘要: The present invention discloses a method for recycling a spent lithium-ion battery, including the following steps: sandwiching a cathode of the spent lithium-ion battery with a conductive acid-resistant material as a cathode of a primary battery system; sandwiching an anode of the spent lithium-ion battery with a conductive acid-resistant material as an anode of the primary battery system; injecting an acid solution into a chamber of the primary battery system; and carrying out, after an electrochemical reaction is completed, solid-liquid separation on a mixed liquor in the chamber. The present invention further discloses an electrochemical system for recycling a spent lithium-ion battery. The method for recycling a spent lithium-ion battery in the present invention requires only dismantlement of cathode and anode materials, without a series of complex pretreatment operations on the cathode materials of the spent lithium-ion battery. In addition, by the method, the cathodes and anodes of the spent lithium-ion battery can be recycled at the same time, and valuable elements can be separated, which is greatly improved compared with the electrolytic leaching method. Moreover, there is no need to add an external power supply, which saves energy and can also output electricity.

摘要: A method for manufacturing direct reduced iron wherein iron ore is reduced in a direct reduction furnace by a reducing gas, the reducing gas exiting the furnace through the top as a top reduction gas. The top reduction gas is captured and at least partly subjected to a CO2 recovery step during which it is divided into two streams, a CO2-rich stream and a CO2-poor stream. The CO2-rich stream is subjected to an alkanol production step to produce an alkanol product.
