Determining the environmental benefit of artificial spider silk products

Lauterbach A.Y., Scheibel T., University of Bayreuth, DE

Spider silk is a highly interesting material with outstanding properties. Because the usage of natural spider silk for technical applications is not possible, the production of recombinant spider silk was established. This production process has [...]

Domestic hydrogen production by an integrated biomass gasification/sponge iron process

Gerdes T., Willert-Porada M., University of Bayreuth, DE

The share of hydrogen in the energy market is increasing with the implementation of fuel cell systems and the growing demand for zero-emission fuels. One major challenge is a distribution system for hydrogen. This drawback [...]

Bio Mass for CO2 Neutral Steel Production

Gerdes T., Willert-Porada M., University of Bayreuth, DE

The paper presents a process to strongly increase the efficiency of bio mass as energy source in steel production by direct use of wood chips instead of charcoal combined with a new microwave based heating [...]

Microbial fuel cell

Willert-Porada M., Lorenz K., Freitag R., Jerome V., Peiffer S., University of Bayreuth, DE

Polymer electrolyte fuel cells, PE-FC, use hydrogen or methanol as fuel. Water soluble organic compounds, like starch, glucose, acetates, can not serve as fuel because of limited catalytic activity of common metal catalysts. Opposite to [...]

Development of a Mobile Asbestos Decontamination Process

Gerdes T., Rosin A., Willert-Porada M., University of Bayreuth, DE

Within the European project “New Safe and Cost Effective Techniques Against Asbestos Risks” different methods for decontamination of asbestos in asbestos containing wastes, abbreviated as ACW from building industry were investigated. A mobile asbestos decontamination [...]

Development of Functionally Graded SiC-Based

Gerdes T., Willert-Porada M., University of Bayreuth, DE

Hot gas filtration using ceramic filters for diesel engine exhaust gas cleaning has gained considerable attention and growth over the last 15 years. In this contribution the development of a SiC-carbide based filter that combines [...]
