The used concept of a hydrogen compressor consists in the use of a suitable metal alloy which allows absorb hydrogen in its structure at low temperature and pressure. After heating up of alloy occurs to significant increase of pressure, what allows to compress hydrogen without its direct contact with moving parts. This principle of hydrogen compress provides safety of the process. The hydrogen compressor consists of a pair of tandem-connected metal hydride (MH) tanks with an integrated heat exchanger. The tanks are alternately heated and cooled whereby at the hydrogen absorption on one tank occurs to hydrogen desorption in second tank. Heat transport is made by heat pump for heating up and cooling is done, thanks to which saves considerable part of electricity.","PeriodicalId":366357,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Council on Technologies of Environmental Protection (ICTEP)","volume":"102 34","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120826065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We expect several benefits of green chemistry applications: sustainability, cost-effectivity, low time consuming, and biocompatibility of new materials. The synthesis and application of nanomaterials have become a key technology in many more fields, such as medicine and pharmacy. These applications request not only control over the morphology of NPs but also their biocompatibility. Recent successes in the development of chemical methods for the synthesis of gold NPs have delivered a wide range of preparation tools. However, the effective control of morphology involves the utilization of toxic reducing agents (sodium borohydride, methoxy polyethylene glycol, potassium tartrate, and hydrazine), and stabilizers (sodium dodecyl benzyl sulfate, and polyvinylpyrrolidone). These factors limit the applications of the synthesized NPs. Therefore, extensive studies are directed on the development of green methods of NP synthesis. One possibility is the application of the biological approach, which means the synthesis of NPs using whole organisms or substances of biological origin. The present report will be focused on the analysis of recent successes in green synthesis of gold NPs with controlled size and shape.","PeriodicalId":366357,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Council on Technologies of Environmental Protection (ICTEP)","volume":"121 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127605211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These advantages allow them to be smaller and lighter than other conventional rechargeable batteries such as lead-acid batteries, nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) and nickel-metal (Ni-MH) hybride batteries. The rising number of electric vehicles comes along with an increasing demand for LIBs. As resources such as lithium are valuable, it is economically desired to recycle EV batteries. One of the first steps of every battery recycling process is the disassembly, which can be a quite time and cost consuming process and hence has to be planned accurately and properly. Using the battery of the hybrid car Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid as a case study, a planning approach for the disassembly will be discussed in this paper. Therefore, disassembly sequences will be derived from a priority matrix and a disassembly graph will be drawn up. In fine, the design of the disassembly system and work stations will be recommended.","PeriodicalId":366357,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Council on Technologies of Environmental Protection (ICTEP)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117164827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For their further use as a sorbent in bio-gas plants, the granules had to have high porosity. By applying non-compacting granulation methods, a granulate of the desired dimension and properties was created. The created granulates were analyzed by dynamic image analysis (DIA) and powder rheometer. A high shear granulation method was chosen as the best method for powder waste processing, in which the most sustainable granulates were created using a small amount of granulation liquid.
