A Life in Lithium - Features - The Chemical Engineer
Sep 30, 2021 · A schematic is shown in Figure 1. Fundamentally, LIBs consist of chemically-active materials that accept electrons upon reaction with lithium ions. These materials, when combined with conductive additives, become the device’s electrodes. Two electrodes are used in LIB cells – one providing a high energy “home” for the lithium (the anode ...
Data Science and Digitalisation for Chemical Engineers
Apr 27, 2023 · Figure 1: Data science journey for each project. We use the terms “data literacy” and “data acumen” to describe two skillsets that chemical engineers may use when handling data. Data literacy is the ability to collect, manage, evaluate, and apply data in a critical manner and is essential for chemical engineers working in the digital age.
The Design Process: From Concept to Heat and Mass Balance
Aug 29, 2024 · Figure 1: Design process stages. The development team will generate options that will deliver on the remit they have been given. The options might include differing feedstocks and reaction routes. Following option generation, a coarse screen is undertaken where, often based upon experience, some options will be culled.
