Process for Hydrogen Production from Sodium Sulfite Solutions Resulting from Capture of SO2 from Coal Flue Gas

Green Car Congress

A typical example is the use of a dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution to absorb SO 2 from flue gas, forming an aqueous Na 2 SO 3 solution.

UMD-led study: road salts and other human sources are threatening world’s freshwater supplies

Green Car Congress

But a new study led by Sujay Kaushal of the University of Maryland warns that introducing salt into the environment—whether it's for de-icing roads, fertilizing farmland or other purposes—releases toxic chemical cocktails that create a serious and growing global threat to our freshwater supply and human health.

Debunking the Lithium "Mining" FUD

Plug In India

Team PluginIndia The Lithium mining FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) created by some paid media organizations and random YouTube channels is so bad, that many people read headlines of such articles and assume that Lithium mining is the worst thing in the world and is worse than extracting and refining 10,000 liters of oil used by an average ICE car.

OSU smart membrane could enable new category of high-energy, high-power energy storage for EVs

Green Car Congress

A team at the Ohio State University has developed a membrane that regulates bi-directional ion transport across it as a function of its redox state and that could be used as a programmable smart membrane separator in future supercapacitors and redox flow batteries. — Herya and Sundaresan.
