Malinga ndi MiningWeekly, Anglo American, kampani yogulitsa ndi migodi yosiyanasiyana, ikugwirizana ndi Umicore kuti ipange ukadaulo kudzera mu kampani yake ya Anglo American Platinum (Anglo American Platinum), ikuyembekeza kusintha momwe hydrogen imasungidwira, komanso magalimoto a Fuel cell (FCEV) amapereka magetsi.
Anglo American Group inati Lolemba kuti kudalira ukadaulo uwu, sipadzakhala chifukwa chomangira zomangamanga za haidrojeni ndi maukonde owonjezera amafuta, ndipo malo otumizira, osungira ndi opangira haidrojeni amaonedwa kuti ndi chimodzi mwa zopinga zazikulu pakukweza mphamvu ya haidrojeni yoyera.
Dongosolo lofufuza ndi chitukuko chogwirizanali cholinga chake ndi kupititsa patsogolo njira yolumikizira haidrojeni ndi madzi (chomwe chimatchedwa chonyamulira cha hydrogen chamadzimadzi kapena LOHC, Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier), ndikuzindikira kugwiritsa ntchito mwachindunji magalimoto a fuel cell (FCEV) ndi magalimoto ena kutengera ukadaulo wa Catalyst wa zitsulo za gulu la platinamu.
Kugwiritsa ntchito LOHC kumathandiza kuti haidrojeni ikonzedwe ndikunyamulidwa kudzera m'mapaipi oyendera madzi monga matanki amafuta ndi mapaipi, monga mafuta kapena petulo, popanda kufunikira zipangizo zovuta zochepetsera mpweya. Izi zimapewa zomangamanga zatsopano za mphamvu ya haidrojeni ndipo zimathandizira kukwezedwa kwa haidrojeni ngati mafuta oyera. Mothandizidwa ndi ukadaulo watsopano wopangidwa ndi Anglo American ndi Umicore, ndizotheka kunyamula haidrojeni kuchokera ku LOHC yamagalimoto amagetsi pa kutentha kochepa komanso kupanikizika (kotchedwa sitepe yochotsera hydrogen), yomwe ndi yosavuta komanso yotsika mtengo kuposa njira yochepetsera hydrogen.
Benny Oeyen, Mtsogoleri wa Dipatimenti Yopanga Zamalonda ya Platinum Group Metals ku Anglo American, adayambitsa momwe ukadaulo wa LOHC umaperekera njira yokongola, yopanda utsi komanso yotsika mtengo yoyendera mafuta a haidrojeni. Kampaniyo ikukhulupirira kuti zitsulo za gulu la platinamu zili ndi zinthu zapadera zoyambitsa. Zimathandiza kuti zinthu zikhale zosavuta komanso kuti zikhale zosavuta kwa ogwiritsa ntchito. Kuphatikiza apo, kuwonjezera mafuta kumakhala kofulumira ngati mafuta a petulo kapena dizilo, ndipo kuli ndi njira yofanana yoyendera, pomwe kuchepetsa mtengo wa unyolo wonse wamtengo wapatali.
Kudzera muukadaulo wapamwamba wa LOHC dehydrogenation catalytic komanso kugwiritsa ntchito LOHC yonyamula hydrogen poyendetsa ntchito zam'manja, imatha kuthetsa mavuto omwe akukumana nawo chifukwa cha zomangamanga za hydrogen ndi mayendedwe, ndikufulumizitsa kukwezedwa kwa FCEV. Lothar Moosman, Wachiwiri kwa Purezidenti, Umicore New Business Department (Lothar Mussmann) adatero. Kampani ya Mooseman ndi yogulitsa ma proton exchange membrane FCEV catalysts.
Anglo American Group nthawi zonse yakhala imodzi mwa othandizira oyambirira a chuma cha haidrojeni ndipo imamvetsetsa momwe haidrojeni ilili pa mphamvu zobiriwira komanso mayendedwe oyera. "Zitsulo za gulu la platinamu zimatha kupereka zinthu zofunika kwambiri popanga haidrojeni yobiriwira komanso mayendedwe opangidwa ndi haidrojeni ndi ukadaulo wina wofanana nawo. Tikufufuza ukadaulo m'derali kuti tipange malo osungira ndalama kwa nthawi yayitali omwe angagwiritse ntchito bwino mphamvu ya haidrojeni", adatero CEO wa Anglo Platinum Tasha Viljoen (Natascha Viljoen).
Mothandizidwa ndi Anglo American Platinum Group Metals Market Development Team ndi thandizo la Peter Wasserscheid, pulofesa ku University of Erlangen komanso woyambitsa Hydrogenious LOHC Technology, Umicore achita kafukufukuyu. Hydrogenious ndi mtsogoleri mumakampani a LOHC komanso ndi kampani yogulitsa zinthu za AP Venture, kampani yodziyimira payokha yomwe imayikidwa ndalama ndi Anglo American Group. Njira zake zazikulu zogulira ndalama ndi kupanga haidrojeni, kusungira, ndi mayendedwe.
Ntchito ya gulu lopanga msika wa zitsulo za gulu la platinum la Anglo American Group ndikupanga ndikulimbikitsa kugwiritsa ntchito kwatsopano zitsulo za gulu la platinum. Izi zikuphatikizapo njira zoyera komanso zokhazikika zamagetsi, maselo amafuta pamagalimoto amagetsi, kupanga ndi mayendedwe a haidrojeni wobiriwira, zotengera za vinyl zomwe zimawonjezera nthawi yogwiritsira ntchito chakudya ndikuchepetsa zinyalala, ndikupanga njira zochizira khansa.
