REDOX Energy - Overview
REDOX Energy is based upon the fundamental chemical bonding reactions of the
Oxidation
reaction and the
Reduction
reaction of
a veriaty of basic elemental materials.
An electron energy transfer occures when chemical
bonds
are formed or brocken in a redox reaction.
The movement of electrons creates a potential charge differance which may be harvested as REDOX energy.
The development of a REDOX Reactor mechonisum may allow for selective controlled charging/discharging modes or
oxidation/reduction reactions.
REDOX
Flow Batteries
are designed for energy extraction from liquid electrolytes and
Fuel Cells
are well suited to gaseous reactions,
REDOX Reactors may also be adapted towards solid particulate materials.
Charging Mode
Charging Mode overview - Reduction
In a REDOX Reduction reaction, a complex oxide molecule is split in order to free the oxegen from the basic element.
The pure basic element than exists in a higher potenial energy state and is ready and available to be rebonded or oxidized.
This reduction process may be viewed as a charging process and requires the input of energy
in the form of electricity or heat or some combination of both.
Displacement Reactions
In a
Displacement
reaction the oxegen bond swaps places between two basic elements,
reducing one element into a pure form and the other element that forms an oxegen bond to form a complex oxide molecule.
Discharging Mode
Discharging Mode overview - Oxidation
When pure elements form a complex bond this process is refered to as oxidation.
When an oxidation reaction occures, energy is released as free electrons, typicaly in the form of heat or electricity.
This discharged energy may be harnessed into usefull work if contained in a properly designed harvesting mechonisum.
Energy harvested from REDOX Reactors may qualify as a primary heat source, adiquate for the
Thermal Reduction
Pyrolysis requirerments to decompose incomming wastestreams into the Recovery 2/0 system.
REDOX Reactor
High Heat
Zone (1,000°C-1,500°C) harvestable yeilds may also be adiquate to power a Carbonate reduction kiln
sufficent to regenerate in the oxide/hydroxide cycle.
REDOX Reactors
The development of Conversion
Flow Cells
that can act as a REDOX Reactor to accomodate any combination of
solid, liquid or gasious feedstock materials would allow for maximum flexability.
The evolution of custom REDOX Reactors for the conversion of highly corrosive,
Hydrometallurgical
acid solutions may provide for an envronmentaly sustainable and energy efficent method of metals recovery & refining.
Symbiotic Benefits
The implementation of Flow Cells for the Conversion of resources from a broad range of wastestreams
may provide some extraordinary Symbiotic Benefits.
During the procedure of refining or processing of waste materials to obtain a yield of the recovered recyclable
commodities,
a unique opportunity presents itself to harvest energy directly from the specific properties of the waste material being handled
and from the process used.
