EWE, a German energy company, announced the progress made in the project of constructing the world's largest flow battery using underground salt caverns in northwestern Germany. The polymer developed by researchers for this purpose has passed the preliminary test.
The accumulator system of a flow battery generally contains two reservoirs containing two different electrolytes. The connection between them is the power generation zone, where the two electrolytes are ion-exchanged across a thin film to store and release electrical energy. The larger the reservoir, the more energy stored.
EWE, in cooperation with the University of Jena in Germany, plans to use underground salt caverns as storage tanks in the municipality of Yemugum, a small town in the northwestern part of Germany. These salt caverns are mined holes left after salt mining. They are bulky and well-sealed and can be used as hermetic repositories. EWE currently operates natural gas storage at eight underground salt caverns in Jemum. According to reports, the storage capacity of two medium-sized salt caverns is enough to power a big city like Berlin for an hour, which means it will be the largest battery in the world.
But the project also faces a number of technical issues. For example, the common liquid electrolyte battery is dissolved in sulfuric acid from vanadium, this solution is more polluting the environment. EWE company recently held a press conference in Berlin, said Jena University researchers successfully developed a polymer that will dissolve in salt water as an electrolyte to meet environmental requirements, the current polymer has passed The initial test.
The project leader, Ralf Rickenberg, said the project is a big step toward making the world's largest battery, but more tests are still needed and the saltwater battery system is expected to be put into operation by the end of 2023 run.
Germany is currently implementing its energy transformation strategy with a plan to generate 80% of renewable energy by 2050, with the ultimate goal of replacing traditional sources of energy with renewable energy. However, one of the problems with renewable energy sources such as wind energy and solar energy is that the amount of electricity generated in different weather conditions is not stable, and thus a huge battery can play a regulatory role.
The main function of the edge banding is to seal the cross-section of the board, so as to avoid the damage of the board and the adverse factors (mainly moisture) in the process of use and prevent the formaldehyde inside the board from volatilizing, and at the same time achieve the effect of beautiful decoration.
The product has the following main features: smooth surface, no blistering, no ribbing, moderate gloss, smooth surface and back surface, uniform thickness, uniform width, reasonable hardness, high elasticity, good quality, strong wear resistance, trimmed and sealed The color of the side and the side is close to the surface color, not whitish, good gloss, and the overall color of the finished furniture is coordinated.
Judge good or bad
1. Look at the hue and surface roughness of the edge banding strip. The color of the surface of a good edge banding strip is also very important. Whether the color is close to the customized product and is gorgeous. If the surface is very rough and there are pull marks, the quality is definitely not much better. This is the surface quality of the edge banding strip. It has nothing to do with the quality of the inner material of the edge banding, mainly the production process of the edge banding factory and the production technical skills of the employees. A good edge banding strip is: the surface must be smooth, no blistering or seldom bubbling, no drawing or few drawing, moderate gloss, not too shiny or too matte (unless there are special requirements).
2. Check the flatness of the surface and bottom of the edge banding and whether the thickness is uniform, otherwise it will cause the joint between the edge band and the board, the glue line is too eye-catching or the gap between the board and the edge band is too large, which will affect the overall beauty. Details determine success or failure, and often a small detail problem may bring an embarrassing situation where the overall effect is not good.
3. Whether the edge trimming is whitish, whether the surface of the bent edge strip is severely whitish, and whether the ground color of the trimming strip is close to the surface color of the board in question. PVC Edge Banding strips are mainly made of PVC and Calcium Carbonate plus additives. If the calcium carbonate content is too high, whitening of the edge banding and bending will occur, which proves that the quality of such products is not good.
4. Whether the strength is okay and whether there is elasticity. High strength means good wear resistance, and the corresponding quality is better. Too high strength also means increased processing difficulty. Low elasticity means low wear resistance and low aging resistance. In addition, according to actual production needs, manual trimming is generally required, and soft spots can be made appropriately, and the automatic edge banding machine can make hard points appropriately.
5. Whether the adhesive is applied evenly and whether it is easy to fall off during use.
6. Smell whether the PVC edge banding strips taste or not. Products produced with good quality raw materials generally have a small taste. If the taste is too large, it means that the quality of the raw materials used in production is relatively poor.
