Ngokutsho kweMiningWeekly, i-Anglo American, inkampani yeemigodi kunye neentengiso ezihlukeneyo, isebenzisana ne-Umicore ukuphuhlisa ubuchwepheshe ngokusebenzisa inkampani yayo i-Anglo American Platinum (i-Anglo American Platinum), ngethemba lokutshintsha indlela i-hydrogen egcinwa ngayo, kunye neenqwelo ze-Fuel cell (FCEV) nika amandla.
I-Anglo American Group yathi ngoMvulo ukuba ukuthembela kule teknoloji, akuyi kubakho mfuneko yokwakha iziseko ze-hydrogen kunye nothungelwano lwe-fuel supplementary, kunye nokuhanjiswa, ukugcinwa kunye nezixhobo ze-hydrogenation zibhekwa njengenye yemiqobo ephambili ekukhuthazeni amandla acocekileyo e-hydrogen.
Olu phando ludibeneyo kunye nesicwangciso sophuhliso sijolise ekuqhubeleni phambili inkqubo yokudibanisa iikhemikhali ze-hydrogen kulwelo (into ebizwa ngokuba yi-liquid organic hydrogen carrier okanye i-LOHC, i-Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier), kunye nokuqonda ukusetyenziswa ngokuthe ngqo kwezithuthi zeeseli zamafutha (FCEV) kunye nezinye. izithuthi ezisekwe kwitekhnoloji yeCatalyst yeentsimbi zeqela leplatinam.
Ukusetyenziswa kwe-LOHC kwenza ukuba i-hydrogen iqhutywe kwaye ihanjiswe ngemibhobho yesiqhelo yokuthutha ulwelo njengamatanki e-oyile kunye nemibhobho, njenge-petroleum okanye i-petroli, ngaphandle kwesidingo sezixhobo ezinzima zoxinzelelo lwegesi.Oku kuthintela iziseko ezitsha zamandla e-hydrogen kwaye kukhawulezise ukukhuthazwa kwe-hydrogen njengamafutha acocekileyo.Ngoncedo lobuchwephesha obutsha obuphuhliswe ngu-Anglo American kunye ne-Umicore, kunokwenzeka ukuthwala i-hydrogen kwi-LOHC yezithuthi zombane kwiqondo lokushisa eliphantsi kunye noxinzelelo (olubizwa ngokuba yi-dehydrogenation step), olulula kwaye luncinci kunendlela ye-hydrogen ecinezelweyo.
U-Benny Oeyen, uMlawuli we-Anglo American's Platinum Group Metals Market Development Department, wazisa indlela iteknoloji ye-LOHC ebonelela ngayo ngendlela enomtsalane, engakhutshwanga kunye nexabiso eliphantsi lothutho lwe-hydrogen fuel.Inkampani ikholelwa ukuba iintsimbi zeplatinum zineempawu ezikhethekileyo.Nceda wenze lula ulungiselelo kwaye wenze ukuba kube lula kubasebenzisi.Ukongeza, i-fuel supplement ikhawuleza njengepetroli okanye i-diesel, kwaye inoluhlu olufanayo lokuhamba ngenqanawa, ngelixa linciphisa iindleko zexabiso lonke.
Ngokusebenzisa iteknoloji ye-LOHC ye-dehydrogenation catalytic ephezulu kunye nokusetyenziswa kwe-hydrogen-ephethe i-LOHC ukunika amandla izicelo zeselula, inokusombulula ubunzima obujongene neziseko ze-hydrogen kunye ne-logistics, kwaye ikhawuleze ukukhuthazwa kwe-FCEV.U-Lothar Moosman, iSekela likaMongameli oPhezulu, iSebe le-Umicore New Business (uLothar Mussmann) uthe.Inkampani kaMooseman ngumboneleli weproton exchange membrane FCEV catalysts.
Iqela le-Anglo American belisoloko lingomnye wabaxhasi bokuqala boqoqosho lwe-hydrogen kwaye liyasiqonda isikhundla sobuchule se-hydrogen kumandla aluhlaza kunye nokuhamba okucocekileyo."Iintsimbi zeqela leplatinam zinokubonelela ngezinto ezibaluleke kakhulu kwimveliso ye-hydrogen eluhlaza kunye nothutho lwe-hydrogen-fueled kunye nobunye ubugcisa obunxulumeneyo.Sihlola iteknoloji kule ndawo ukudala indawo yokutyala ixesha elide esebenzisa ngokupheleleyo amandla e-hydrogen ", i-CEO ye-Anglo Platinum Tasha Viljoen (Natascha Viljoen) uthe.
Ngenkxaso yeQela le-Anglo American Platinum Group Metals Development Team kunye noncedo lukaPeter Wasserscheid, unjingalwazi kwiYunivesithi yase-Erlangen kunye nomseki we-Hydrogenious LOHC Technology, u-Umicore uya kwenza olu phando.I-Hydrogenious yinkokeli kushishino lweLOHC kwaye ikwayinkampani yepotfoliyo ye-AP Venture, inkampani ezimeleyo yengxowa mali yemali etyalwe yi-Anglo American Group.Izalathiso zayo eziphambili zotyalo-mali kukuvelisa i-hydrogen, ukugcinwa, kunye nokuthutha.
Umsebenzi weqela leplatinam leAnglo American Group kukuphuhlisa nokukhuthaza ukusetyenziswa kweplatinam yeqela lesinyithi.Ezi ziquka izisombululo zamandla ahlambulukileyo kunye nezizinzileyo, iiseli zepetroli kwizithuthi zombane, ukuveliswa kwe-hydrogen eluhlaza kunye nokuthutha, i-vinyl absorbents eyandisa ixesha leshelufu lokutya kunye nokunciphisa inkunkuma, kunye nokuphuhlisa unyango oluchasene nomhlaza.
