Complex of technological equipment for the manufacture of bipolar plates for ultralight fuel cells

The complex of technological equipment for the manufacture of bipolar plates for ultralight fuel cells includes laser cutting, forming and welding installations.

A complex of technological equipment for the production of furan polymers, including polyethylene furanoate (PEF)

Transesterification of 2,5-FDCA esters with dihydric alcohols in the presence of a catalyst under high vacuum to facilitate the removal of reaction by-products from the reaction mass.

Technology for the synthesis of polyesters based on 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid

Esterification of 2,5-FDCA with monohydric alcohols in the presence of an acid catalyst.

Technology for the synthesis of furandicarboxylic acid

Oxidation of 5-HMF to 2,5-PDCA with an oxidizing agent taken in a stoichiometric amount. Potassium permanganate is used as an oxidizing agent. By-products of oxidation are separated by filtration. The reaction product is isolated from the reaction mass by filtration.

Technology for continuous synthesis of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural

Synthesis of 5-HMF in an acid medium in a two-phase system at a moderate temperature with continuous removal of the finished product from the reaction zone. As a raw material for the synthesis, fructose, sucrose, ground dried Jerusalem artichoke can be used.

Technology of electrochemical synthesis of electro- and photoactive materials based on transition metal oxides

The technology for the synthesis of electro- and photoactive materials consists in the electrochemical dispersion of two metal electrodes of semiconductor materials of the same area under the action of an alternating pulsed current in an aqueous electrolyte.

Technology of electrochemical synthesis of catalysts (Pt/C) for fuel cells

The technology for the synthesis of a Pt/C catalyst for fuel cells consists in the electrochemical dispersion of two platinum electrodes of the same area under the action of an alternating pulsed current in an electrolyte (a suspension of a carbon carrier in alkali).
