1. 21. Enabling small-scale production of biochar in carbon markets : A multi-actor governance approach

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Linnea Sörman; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Climate change is increasing the temperature rise, which damages nature and people. Increasing and using carbon dioxide removal (CDR) techniques are crucial to limit global warming to staying under 2 °C and fulfilling the Paris Agreement. There are several different CDR techniques, and biochar is one. READ MORE

5. 24. Reprocessing and Characterization of Polybenzimidazole for High-Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

   Author : Douglas Björkengren; [2023]
   Keywords : polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells; PEMFC; HTPEMFC; polymer technology; polymer characterization; reprocessing; recycling; polybenzimidazole; PBI; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : A reprocessing method of poly(2,2’-(m-phenylene)-5,5’-bibenzimidazole) (PBI) membranes recovered from the production line of High-Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (HT-PEMFC) at Blue World Technologies (BWT) has been developed in order to reduce material loss in the production. Redissolution of scrap PBI membranes in poly(phosphoric acid) (PPA) and phosphoric acid (PA) was successful and the subsequent washing procedure produced PBI that could be redissolved in N,N-dimethyl acetamide (DMAc) and suitable for solution casting of new membranes.
