Indicative Industries Which Can Benefit From Our Technology

Electrocatalytic conversion of GHG emissions from petrochemical industries

The electrocatalytic conversion of GHG emissions to Value Added Products (VAPs) including ethanol is carried out employing electrochemical reactor at ambient of 28oC, 1 atms pressure and flow rate of emissions from petrochemical industry roughly 500ml/min. The initiator solution is acidified with 50 ml of conc. HCl. The acidified solution generates in-house hydrogen gas to facilitate the reduction of GHG emissions with carbon in the form of CO2, CO, CH4, ethane, N2, SOx, NOx, S, H2S etc into ethanol, acetates and 5-methyl –phenylazothiophene – 2 – azo dye.

Thus, from the HR-MS spectra of liquid and solid products of the GHG emissions electrocatalytic reduction as ethanol, Mg acetoethoxide, Cupric ethoxide, cuprous ethoxide, 5-methyl-phenyl azo thiophene-azo dye. Depending on the variation in constituents and composition of the input GHG emissions, either ethanol or 5-methyl-phenyl azo thiophene-azo dye or acetic acid can be fine-tuned to be the major product.

Electrochemical separation and agglomeration of iron ore in steel slag

Steel slag is a by-product obtained in the steel production plants and also presents huge challenge in the solid waste disposal. The steel slag although considered as solid waste also possess several valuable elements such as titanium, nickel, Zinc, iron, aluminum, silica so on and so forth. These elements or compounds when extracted by chemical or physical process results in value addition in diverse fields of applications such as wastewater treatment to semiconductor devices. It can be understood from the literature that the leaching technique was the most widely used in the resource recovery domain followed by other techniques like fusion, hydrothermal treatment. As iron is the major constituent of steel production, any Fe content in the slag can be recovered electrochemically and utilize the silica content in the slag to encapsulate the same to avoid from environmental reactions and corrosion. The major advantage of Entity1 solution is that it can separate the minerals or elements at concentrations as low as parts per million (ppm) or parts per billion (ppb) (Ref: 202341000490).

Oil & Gas

The electrochemical reactions of CO2 and N2 are of interest for the synthesis of chemicals and for approaches to decrease global warming. Work has been done looking at synthesizing specialty chemicals such as formate, acetates, urea, methanol, ethanol, isoamyl alchol and n-butanol from CO2 and N2 gas combination. Most of the thermal power plants emit flue gas with combination of < 20% of CO2, 80-85% of N2 and small amounts of other gases like SOx and NOx. As these flue gases are let out into the atmosphere, they increase GHG emissions and also the chemically inert and important energy carrier N2 gas is left unused. To reduce the GHG emissions and to utilize the excess N2 gas untapped so far in thermal power plant exhausts we propose our patented and proprietary electrocatalytic conversion process where the CO2 is reduced to fuels such as methanol, ethanol, butanol, isoamyl alcohol, acetates so on and so forth, whereas N2 can be reduced to the most important energy carrier Ammonia or amides like urea (fertilizer), amines and imines (hydrogen storage or carriers).

As N2 reduction to ammonia is normally carried out by Haber-Bosch process which is energy intensive process occurring at very high temperatures and pressure. High temperature is required to achieve N≡ N bond breaking, whereas high pressure is achieved to increase the reaction rate . In the proposed electrocatalytic technique, ammonia is formed by electrocatalytic process where the reaction occurs at ambient temperature and pressure and hence less energy intensive. The electrocatalyst utilized is also cost-effective such as carbonaceous compounds or metal foam embedded carbon electrocatalysts leading to near 100% conversion efficiency and > 90% Faradaic efficiency.

These elements or compounds when extracted by chemical or physical process results in value addition in diverse fields of applications such as wastewater treatment to semiconductor devices. It can be understood from the literature that the leaching technique was the most widely used in the resource recovery domain followed by other techniques like fusion, hydrothermal treatment.
Refractory bricks from steel plants are mostly silicon dioxide (> 70-98%). These refractory
bricks are rich source of semiconductor materials like Si and SiC upon proper processing. In
addition, steel sludge a waste material from steel industries possesses > 70% of SiO 2 that can be processed to Si or SiC.

Electrocatalytic conversion of GHG emissions from Steel industries

Thus, from the HR-MS spectra of liquid and solid products of the GHG emissions electrocatalytic reduction as ethanol, Mg acetoethoxide, Cupric ethoxide, cuprous ethoxide, 5-methyl-phenyl azo thiophene-azo dye. Depending on the variation in constituents and composition of the input GHG emissions, either ethanol or 5-methyl-phenyl azo thiophene-azo dye or acetic acid can be fine-tuned to be the major product.

Electrocatalytic conversion of GHG emissions from petrochemical industries

The electrocatalytic conversion of GHG emissions to Value Added Products (VAPs) including ethanol is carried out employing electrochemical reactor at ambient of 28oC, 1 atms pressure and flow rate of emissions from petrochemical industry roughly 500ml/min. The initiator solution is acidified with 50 ml of conc. HCl. The acidified solution generates in-house hydrogen gas to facilitate the reduction of GHG emissions with carbon in the form of CO2, CO, CH4, ethane, N2, SOx, NOx, S, H2S etc into ethanol, acetates and 5-methyl –phenylazothiophene – 2 – azo dye.

As N2 reduction to ammonia is normally carried out by Haber-Bosch process which is energy intensive process occurring at very high temperatures and pressure. High temperature is required to achieve N≡ N bond breaking, whereas high pressure is achieved to increase the reaction rate . In the proposed electrocatalytic technique, ammonia is formed by electrocatalytic process where the reaction occurs at ambient temperature and pressure and hence less energy intensive. The electrocatalyst utilized is also cost-effective such as carbonaceous compounds or metal foam embedded carbon electrocatalysts leading to near 100% conversion efficiency and > 90% Faradaic efficiency.

For a representative composition of flue gas and the tentative products that can be achieved from the flue gas employing the Electrocatalytic Reduction Process is as provided in the Table below

In case of Gas industries, the VAPs obtained are

The electrochemical reactions of CO2 and N2 are of interest for the synthesis of chemicals and for approaches to decrease global warming. Work has been done looking at synthesizing specialty chemicals such as formate, acetates, urea, methanol, ethanol, isoamyl alchol and n-butanol from CO2 and N2 gas combination. Most of the thermal power plants emit flue gas with combination of < 20% of CO2, 80-85% of N2 and small amounts of other gases like SOx and NOx. As these flue gases are let out into the atmosphere, they increase GHG emissions and also the chemically inert and important energy carrier N2 gas is left unused. To reduce the GHG emissions and to utilize the excess N2 gas untapped so far in thermal power plant exhausts we propose our patented and proprietary electrocatalytic conversion process where the CO2 is reduced to fuels such as methanol, ethanol, butanol, isoamyl alcohol, acetates so on and so forth, whereas N2 can be reduced to the most important energy carrier Ammonia or amides like urea (fertilizer), amines and imines (hydrogen storage or carriers).

Electrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide and conversion into Ethanol (Patent Number: 524748; PCT/2023/050840)

The electrochemical reactions of CO2 are of interest for the synthesis of chemicals and for approaches to decrease global warming.
Far greater impact on decreasing atmospheric CO2 levels might be obtained by synthesizing fuels.
The main advantages of such carbon-based fuels, vs. storing electricity in batteries or as hydrogen, are the ease of use within existing infrastructures and the higher energy density.
Key discovery is the direct electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to ethanol @ Faradaic efficiency upto 85% at RT.

Steel slag is a by-product obtained in the steel production plants and presents huge challenge in the solid waste disposal. The steel slag although considered as solid waste also possess several valuable elements such as titanium, nickel, vanadium, iron, aluminium, silica so on and so forth. These elements or compounds when extracted by chemical or physical process results in value addition in diverse fields of applications such as wastewater treatment to semiconductor devices. It can be understood from the literature that the leaching technique was the most widely used in the resource recovery domain followed by other techniques like fusion, hydrothermal treatment. As iron is the major constituent of steel production, any Fe content in the slag can be recovered electrochemically and utilize the silica content in the slag to encapsulate the same to avoid from environmental reactions and corrosion. The major advantage of Entity1 solution is that it can separate the minerals or elements at concentrations as low as parts per million (ppm) or parts per billion (ppb) (Ref: 202341000490).
In general, the composition of steel slag comprises of CaO, MnO, Al2O3, V2O3, TiO2, P2O5, Cr2O3, Fe2O3, SiO2, NiO and carbon as particulate matter. The elements when extracted possess market value and applications as provided in Table 1.

ELECTROCHEMICAL SEPARATION OF SiO2 to SILICON AND SILICON CARBIDE FROM REFRACTORY ROCK

Steel refractory lining is a by-product obtained in the steel production plants and also presents huge challenge in the solid waste disposal. The steel refractory waste although considered as solid waste also possess high silica content upto 98%. As SiO2 is the major constituent, utilize the silica content in the refractory waste to electrochemically reduce the same to form Si or SiC wafers. The major advantage of RCPL-Entity1 solution is that it can separate the elements at concentrations as low as parts per million (ppm) or parts per billion (ppb) (Ref: 202341000490).
The rock sample collected from steel plant is subjected to energy dispersive X-ray Fluorescence studies to understand the mineral composition of the same and listed from Table 1 as follows:
