ACTIVE MATERIAL FOR SIMULTANEOUS CONVERSION AND STORAGE OF SOLAR ENERGY

The North-West University (NWU) has pioneered the novel use of Europium-Tellurium-Oxide (ETO) in the production of clean energy. ETO is a light-chargeable catalyst material that exhibits sustained and enhanced activity after light excitation has ended. Its unique characteristics present an

PROCESS FOR SIGNIFICANT ELECTRICITY COST SAVINGS IN FERROCHROME PRODUCTION

The invention relates to a novel process of partial oxidation of un-agglomerated chromite ore in ferrochrome production processes. The process includes the steps: Providing a source of un-agglomerated chromite ore; subjecting the source of un-agglomerated chromite ore to pre-oxidation at a

Rotowinner

Industrial electrowinning is one such example where archaic technology has become the norm, with innovation being limited simply because the process is “good enough”. After doing a fundamental analysis on the electrowinning process, the design team has invented a dynamic solution which improves on

System and Process for the Desulphurization of Tyre Pyrolysis Feedstocks

The process consists of two continuous stages carried out under inert, vacuum conditions. In the first stage, cold feedstock is fed into a preheating vacuum oven for ex-situ desulphurization. It is heated to a controlled temperature for a set time to break sulphur–sulphur and sulphur–carbon bonds

Floatation Device

The flotation device is an engineered support system designed to protect mobile structures from flood-related damage. Mobile structures such as temporary housing units, construction site offices, or warehouse equipment are highly vulnerable in flood-prone areas. This technology addresses that

Fuel Cell Membrane (PEM)

Current Proton Exchange Membranes (PEMs), especially Nafion, are costly and produced mainly by a single international supplier (DuPont/Chemours). This monopoly escalates the cost of fuel cells and electrolyzers and limits local manufacturing capacity in South Africa. Because PEMs are the major

Proposal for Integrated Solar Conversion and Storage Materials for Mobile BESS Applications

1. Executive Summary Oreconnect Projects is an SMME based in Postmasburg, Northern Cape, specializing in the deployment of Mobile Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). We bridge the gap between fixed energy infrastructure and the immediate, high-capacity power needs of the mining, industrial, and
