Russia will fight for the market of rare earth metals.

Posted by admin on Июнь 18, 2012 | No Comments

The company «Phosagro» is going to produce rare-earth metals of the apatite concentrate. However, while we are talking only about the development of technology. On the timing and cost of the project too early.

«Today we are doing the primary pilot plant at Cherepovets ‘Athos’ and as a pilot project at the Balakovo, respectively, now when it comes to better understanding of this process, or the incarnation of the metal — it’s 4-5 years from today,» — said General Director Fosargo Maxim Volkov.
According to Volkov, «Phosagro» owns 42% of Russian reserves of rare earth metals. In the future, based on them can produce radically new products for the most high-tech and knowledge-intensive industries. Of particular interest to «Phosagro,» in terms of profits, represent elements of the so-called «heavy group».It is expected that they will only get more expensive.

Experts point out that Russia has everything you need to take a serious global market share of rare earth metals, which now demand far outstrips supply. While the sector is actually a monopoly position is China. In Russia there are about a quarter of world reserves of rare earth metals. However, the production volume is only 2% of the world. By 2020 this figure will increase to 10%.

Etchings on silicon improve light absorption – M.I.T.

Posted by admin on Июнь 18, 2012 | No Comments

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have devised a method to increase silicon’s ability to absorb sunlight, which could lead to a reduction in the the amount of silicon needed in a solar device, and reducing costs in the process.

By etching a pattern of tiny inverted pyramids on the surface of a thin sheet of silicon, the MIT scientists found they could use 90 percent less silicon while still maintaining a high efficiency. A solar cell with the technology only around 10 micrometers thick can absorb the same amount of sunlight a conventional solar panel can, which is 30 times larger.

The etchings create indentations less than a millionth of a meter across that greatly increases the thin silicon’s light absorption capacity, allowing it to trap rays of light as effectively as conventional solid silicon surfaces.

Silicon solar cells are the most common type of photovoltaic device with the best conversion efficiencies – ranging between 11 to 19 percent on average– on the market to date.

However, silicon is an expensive material, representing up to 40 percent of the overall costs of conventional solar arrays.

Using the etched thin silicon devised from MIT could reduce the amount of expensive silicon needed for solar cells. It would also have the added benefit of making the solar cells lighter, which would in turn reduce the materials needed for frames and supports.

They believe that they can achieve conversion efficiencies of about 20 percent, compared to 24 percent for the best current commercial silicon solar cells.

The team has tested the etching process, using equipment and materials that are standard parts of silicon-chip processing, and demonstrated its improvement in trapping light. The next step would be to add components to produce a photovoltaic cell using the material that is comparable to conventional solar cells.– EcoSeed Staff

WRAP debuts financing package for waste avoidance projects

Businesses and councils invited to apply for new loans designed to help enhance resource efficiency

Announcing the move at today’s Chartered Institute of Waste Management (CIWM) conference in London, waste minister Lord Taylor of Holbeach said the new Waste Prevention Loan Fund would «aid more businesses to plot the course to a more resource efficient future».

He added that the new funding was further evidence of the government’s belief that projects to enhance resource efficiency were «not only good for the environment but also makes good business sense».

The new fund will be administered by the government-backed Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) and will provide grants worth up to £50,000 for investment in new equipment and loans of between £100,000 and £1m to resource efficiency projects, as well as business development support designed to ensure projects are properly managed.

A spokeswoman for the agency said businesses, local authorities and charities would now be invited to apply for the loans or grants to fund new business models where traditional sources of finance «may not see the commercial case».

For example, the organisation expects to consider initiatives that reduce waste levels by shifting a business model from product sales to leasing, or creating customer incentives for the return of products for remanufacture, reuse or recycling.

All material streams are eligible to apply for funding, although successful applicants will have proven concepts in place and will only require financing to scale up projects to a commercial level.

While the new fund will support projects that may struggle to find finance elsewhere, WRAP insisted it would «look at each application on a case by case basis and charge a rate of interest equivalent to a commercial rate in most instances».

«WRAP’s new financial support package to businesses aims to take advantage of the great creative and entrepreneurial spirit across England,» said Matthew Broadbent, head of financial mechanisms at WRAP.

«Finding smart ways to prevent waste arising in the first place and then reuse or repair what is created makes pure business sense. We know there are lots of creative ideas out there so we’re looking for opportunities to scale these up to really make a bigger difference, driving green growth further and faster.»

The news comes just days after WRAP announced new funding awardsto seven waste contractors designed to support the development of food waste collection services for businesses such as restaurants and other food service firms.
