The North-West University (NWU) has developed and patented a method for producing hydrogen via hydrolysis, using an activated aluminium compound. 

Technology Benefits:

• Aluminum also can be recycled after the hydrogen production process.
• Hydrogen can be produced under high pressure.
• By...

The multi-tubular fixed-bed reactor is one of the most successful reactors used in a chemical process. However, hot spots can be formed easily in the fixed bed in a highly exothermic reaction system because of the relatively low heat transfer capacity of the tubular reactor. It is widely reported...

This technology utilises a microchannel reactor for the decomposition of ammonia, comprising two chambers: one for exothermic combustion of ammonia to generate heat. A second chamber of the reactor with a second catalyst receives a second stream of ammonia to provide endothermic decomposition of the...

This technology relates to a novel process for a One-step Mass- Production of various nanofluids in a modified version of laser ablation in open atmosphere. According to a first aspect of the invention, there is provided with a method of producing a nanofluid, the method including laser ablating a...

This invention relates to a Femtosecond Laser-based method for the fabrication of micro- and nano-constriction type structures on a YBa2Cu3O7-x Superconducting thin film and to a new superconductor device. According to one aspect of the invention, there is a method of manufacturing micro- and nano...

The invention provides a silicon pn-based device with different dopant and impurity implanted concentrations stra­tegically placed in the device, the pn junction being reverse biased, such that the 650 nm optical emission is stimulated and enhanced.
