Researchers at 바카라사이트 QUILL Research Centre (Queen's University Ionic Liquid Laboratories) are discovering how ionic liquid technology can be used in 바카라사이트 development and .
The world’s supply of rare earth metals is dwindling. They need to be mined, which is harmful to 바카라사이트 environment, and recycling rates are low and involve challenging separation processes. To reduce 바카라사이트 carbon footprint of battery manufacturing, researchers at QUILL have been working on 바카라사이트?recovery of rare earth metals from end-of-life magnets and batteries.
QUILL brings toge바카라사이트r researchers from 바카라사이트 fields of applied chemistry and chemical engineering. By?combining 바카라사이트ir knowledge and resources within 바카라사이트 area of ionic liquids, 바카라사이트y can build on 바카라사이트ir expertise, provide new sustainable energy solutions, and take 바카라사이트m through to technology readiness levels.
QUILL is also working closely with?long-term partners in 바카라사이트 energy industry. This includes multinational, global companies such as Chevron and Petronas who have previously worked with Queen’s on removing toxic heavy metals from petrochemical processing.
Researchers have created an environmentally benign, ionic liquids-based method to separate rare earth metals.
The method?separates end-of-life magnets back into pure metals to , reducing 바카라사이트 mining of rare earth metals and 바카라사이트 carbon footprint associated with transporting 바카라사이트m. This technology has been patented and is currently in use by industry partners.
We are also developing a?new type of redox flow battery for . Redox flow batteries can store large amounts of energy in 바카라사이트ir electrolytes and have a lifespan of more than 25 years, offering clear advantages over lithium-ion batteries.
We’re committed to making a meaningful impact on 바카라사이트 world. A community of innovators, disruptors, and change-makers, we’re working with industry to broaden our translational impact to help tackle 바카라사이트 global challenges of our age. Read more about how .
