  • Patent number: 11912623
    Abstract: A fluidized solidified soil based on gold tailings includes the following raw materials in parts by mass: 75 parts to 80 parts of gold tailings, 5.2 parts to 13 parts of a dispersant solution, and 9 parts to 16 parts of a solidifying material. A preparation method includes the following steps: mixing the gold tailings with the dispersant solution, and then stirring to obtain a suspension slurry of the gold tailings; and adding the solidifying material, and stirring to obtain the fluidized solidified soil. In the present disclosure, the gold tailings are used as a main material, combined with a special dispersant solution and a special solidifying material, and a fluidized solidified soil is prepared with fluidity suitable for pumping and a certain strength after hardening. The fluidized solidified soil prevents the pollution caused by gold tailings landfilling, and can be used as a filling material for various construction projects.

  • Patent number: 10637068
    Abstract: A gas diffusion electrode for an electro-synthetic or electro-energy cell, for example a fuel cell, including one or more gas permeable layers, a first conductive layer provided on a first side of the gas diffusion electrode, and a second layer, which may be a second conductive layer, provided on a second side of the gas diffusion electrode. The one or more gas permeable layers are positioned between the first conductive layer and the second layer, which may be a second conductive layer, and the one or more gas permeable layers provide a gas channel. The one or more gas permeable layers are gas permeable and substantially impermeable to the liquid electrolyte. The porous conductive material is gas permeable and liquid electrolyte permeable. The gas diffusion electrode can be one of a plurality of alternating anode/cathode sets.

  • Publication number: 20190256991
    Abstract: An electrode for a water splitting device, the electrode comprising a gas permeable material, a second material, for example a further gas permeable material, a spacer layer positioned between the gas permeable material and the second material, the spacer layer providing a gas collection layer and a conducting layer. The conducting layer can be provided adjacent to or at least partially within the gas permeable material. The gas collection layer is able to transport gas internally in the electrode. The gas permeable materials can be gas permeable membranes. Also disclosed are electrochemical cells using such an electrode as the cathode and/or anode, and methods for bringing about gas-to-liquid or liquid-to-gas transformations, for example for producing hydrogen.

  • Publication number: 20190027759
    Abstract: Disclosed are gas permeable 3D electrodes, preferably that have practical utility in, particularly, electro-energy and electro-synthetic applications. Gas permeable materials, such as non-conductive porous polymer membranes, are attached to one or more porous conductive materials. In another aspect there is provided a method for the fabrication of gas permeable 3D electrodes, for example gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs). The 3D electrodes can be utilised in electrochemical cells or devices.
