New Thermodynamic Database Development Method for Increasingly Complex Chemical Systems Supporting Electric Car Battery Recycling and Other Industries (2011–2013)

Abstract:
Multi-component computerised thermodynamic databases have now become a key practical tool in science, research and engineering. New integrated experimental/thermodynamic modelling method for development of the thermodynamic databases will be developed to resolve a strategic scientific problem and to lay the foundation for the next generation of progress in this area. In addition, the project will provide important new fundamental scientific data to support the development of the novel electric and hybrid car rechargeable battery recycling processes - this will resolve environmental issue to dispose these hazardous materials and to recover valuables to ensure sustainable global supply of the source materials.
