El consorcio del proyecto dirigido por el Fraunhofer IWKS incluye a Proton Motor Fuel Cell GmbH, MAIREC Edelmetallgesellschaft mbH, Electrocycling GmbH y KLEIN Anlagenbau AG. El proyecto cuenta con el apoyo del Ministerio Federal de Econom\u00eda y Energ\u00eda de Alemania.<\/p>\n<p>En la actualidad, no existe ning\u00fan proceso de reciclaje a medida a escala industrial para las pilas de combustible de membrana de electrolito polim\u00e9rico (PEMFC). Este tipo de pila de combustible ya se utiliza en aplicaciones automovil\u00edsticas. Con la creciente difusi\u00f3n de esta tecnolog\u00eda, los investigadores esperan que una \"mayor cantidad\" de pilas de combustible llegue al final de su ciclo de vida en 2030 como muy tarde. Debido a la elevada proporci\u00f3n de metales valiosos de la tecnolog\u00eda y a consideraciones ecol\u00f3gicas, afirman, es necesario un reciclaje eficaz de los materiales contenidos en las pilas de combustible PEM. Entre ellos se encuentran el platino y el rutenio.<\/p>\n<p>Sin embargo, los llamados procesos pirometal\u00fargicos de reciclado de metales, que est\u00e1n dise\u00f1ados para los metales preciosos, producen compuestos de fl\u00faor altamente t\u00f3xicos; el fl\u00faor est\u00e1 contenido en la membrana. Por eso es crucial separar la membrana de pol\u00edmero antes del proceso de fundici\u00f3n, pero seg\u00fan los investigadores, no existen \"procesos de reciclado que puedan utilizarse eficazmente a escala industrial\" para este fin.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>El proyecto BReCycle, que acaba de ponerse en marcha, cuenta con cinco socios investigadores e industriales que trabajan en un concepto econ\u00f3mico de circuito cerrado para las pilas de combustible PEM.

After dismantling and comminution (among other things by shock waves in a reactor filled with water), the fragments are to be separated into the material fractions catalyst powder and graphite as well as polymer and metals using simple physical separation processes such as sieving and filtering. From the metals, the pieces with polymer membranes are then to be removed utilizing IR sensor technology. Because of the concentration of valuable substances in the selected material groups, which is hoped for in this way, fewer chemicals will also be required in the downstream wet chemical processing.<\/p>\n<p>However, to be able to process the cells and modules well at all, the researchers want to go beyond the recycling process itself and also investigate &#8220;aspects of product design suitable for recycling&#8221;. For example, the recyclability of fuel cells is to be increased as early as the design stage, and a new business model is to be developed from secondary materials obtained more simply.<\/p>\n<p>After completion of the project &#8211; scheduled for completion by February 2023 &#8211; the knowledge gained is to be successively incorporated into the manufacturing processes for PEM fuel cells by the industrial partners involved. &#8220;The results from the process development will also serve as a basis for further research work to be able to establish a take-back and recycling solution, including the implementation of specific new plant modules,&#8221; the communication states.<\/p>\n<p><em>With reporting by Sebastian Schaal, Germany.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iwks.fraunhofer.de\/en\/press-and-media\/pressreleases\/press-and-media-releases-2020\/new-research-project-brecycle.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fraunhofer.de<\/a><\/p>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131146","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131146"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131146\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":225495,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131146\/revisions\/225495"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/131148"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131146"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131146"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131146"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
