How expensive is making lithium-ion batteries? Is there an effective alternative to lithium-ion battery?
The cost of manufacturing lithium-ion batteries depends on various factors such as the size and capacity of the battery, raw materials used, and the production volume. On average, the manufacturing cost of a lithium-ion battery can range from a few dollars to several hundred dollars per kilowatt-hour. As for battery electrode manufacturing, it is a crucial step in the battery production process and the cost of materials and production processes can significantly impact the overall cost of the battery.
There are alternatives to lithium-ion batteries, such as nickel-metal hydride batteries and lead-acid batteries, but they may not be as effective in terms of energy density and efficiency. Another promising alternative is solid-state batteries, which offer higher energy density and improved safety compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries. However, solid-state batteries are still in the early stages of development and more research is needed to bring down their cost and improve their performance.

How are lithium ion batteries of all forms manufactured? Which sort of industrial chemicals are used
Lithium-ion batteries are manufactured through a series of steps including the production of battery electrodes and assembly of the battery cells.
Battery electrode manufacturing involves the preparation of active materials, such as lithium cobalt oxide or lithium iron phosphate, and the application of these materials onto a metallic current collector, such as aluminum or copper. This is typically done through a process called "coating", where a slurry of the active material is spread onto the current collector and dried to form the electrode.
Industrial chemicals used in the production of battery electrodes include solvents, such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), to create the slurry, as well as binders, such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), to hold the active material in place.
After the electrodes are manufactured, they are then assembled into battery cells with a separator and electrolyte. The cells are then packaged and protected with a casing to form the finished battery product.

How do factories prevent air pollution produced by their machines?
The industrial air pollution control systems include a variety of methods. We need to understand that there are two types of air pollutants - particulate matter and gaseous compounds. For particulate matter, the best method is to place a bag filter in smoke stacks. The bags can be cleaned and reused after a specified period of time. Wet scrubbers are the best method for gaseous pollutants, as the pollutants are converted into liquid and can be treated easily. However, if you need air pollution control system for both particulate and gaseous emissions, then you can install two systems.

Oxi. X Thermal Processes
A giant leap in containing industrial pollution
Air quality of India has been degrading at an alarming rate from the past few years. Industrial production plays a very vital role in contributing to this cause. The Government of India has come up with various regulations to curb this growing problem. As a result, there is widespread awareness about this problem, and the industry understands its responsibility towards the people and the environment. The enterprises have started working towards controlling the ever-increasing air pollution issue in India.
Dürr is committed to helping them in achieving this goal. Dürr has a wide variety of systems that allows these industries with air pollution control. One of those systems involves the use of thermal processes. This system can be easily customized according to the customers' requirements.
A thermal process treats the polluted air using a simple but effective separation technique. It involves combustion in which the pollutant is removed from the exhaust air. In all cases, if a pollutant cannot be collected for potential re-use respectively, then it is recovered, followed by which all these VOCs have to be destroyed. This system converts contaminants in the exhaust air into a non-hazardous substance at a specific temperature.
Operating Principle of the Thermal Process
The only condition on which thermal oxidation can be used is when the pollutants present in the air are flammable. During this, the impurities from the exhaust air can vary in their form. They may occur as mist, steam, or gas. A supply of energy is used to form a mixture of air and one or more flammable pollutants. After the mix is ready, the exhaust air is heated to a high temperature that the hydrocarbon molecules break down and combine with oxygen to produce steam and carbon dioxide.
Many industries prefer this air pollution control system because it involves various variants, suitable for several other applications. Dürr's thermal oxidizers are made in such a manner that they support both high and low volumes of airflow and deliver high thermal and destruction efficiencies for VOC abatement. Furthermore, the system can be modified according to the need. For example, unique compact designs or a system that can function in the auto thermal mode can be developed so that no external energy is required to clean the exhaust air.
Different system variants – Thermal Processes
Depending on the pre-heating method used, the thermal process can be divided into 2 basic groups – either recuperative or regenerative.
- Oxi.X TR – Recuperative Thermal Oxidizer
Recuperative thermal air pollution control systems (Oxi.X TR) work best with high concentrations of organic pollutants in the exhaust air. The Oxi.X TR is highly flexible as it consists of adjustable heat exchanger which helps in reducing the energy consumption by 15%.
This results in lowered capital expenditure.
- Oxi.X DF – Direct-fired Oxidizer
It is a particular variant that deals with the combustion of only a handful of critical substances, such as explosives, toxic, and carcinogenic pollutants.
- Oxi.X Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers
The Oxi.X regenerative thermal oxidation systems (RTO) do not go through the same problem. In this method, the exhaust air gets pre-heated by combustion energy. That is why no external power is consumed for the burner, thus allowing the system to operate in auto thermal mode and making the oxidizer highly efficient. The regenerative thermal oxidizer can give a purification level of over 99.8%.
- Oxi.X burner system
With a complete air pollution control system for all kinds of industries in India, Dürr also provides machinery to upgrade the existing systems. In addition, Dürr offers a whole range of Oxi.X Burner systems as each burner has a specific property and function that makes it unique.
Dürr aims to cover all the possible requirements and provide their customers with the ideal addition to their thermal oxidizer systems.

Sorpt.X SW – Wet Scrubbers for Acid Gas Absorption
When the exhaust air connects with a medium where the contaminant dissolves more successfully than in the air, the contaminant passes into the medium, releasing the purified air from the system. This phenomenon is known as the sorptive process.
Sorptive processes comprise two parts, i.e., Absorption and Adsorption. These two processes differ significantly in the way that they operate.
The two kinds of sorptive processes are mentioned below in detail:
Absorption Process
In Absorption, a substance dissolves another substance. The contaminant or pollutant here is usually a gas, while the absorbing medium is often a liquid but can also be a solid.
Gas scrubbing is widely applied. In this process, the by-products of combustion or non-essential exhaust gas pollutants like halogens and their acids and chemicals, such as ammonia and sulfur oxides, are eliminated from exhaust gases or exhaust air. This phase works on the oxidation process and many times precedes it. Dürr Air Pollution Control System Maintenance Services in India provide a wide array of acid gas removal technologies comprising wet acid gas absorbers, dry sorbent injection, wet scrubbers and spray dryer absorbers.
Absorption separates pollutants from the exhaust air and is used for cleaning flue gases.
Adsorption process
The adsorption process helps in the concentration of pollutants. It's required when the exhaust air comprises a low to medium pollutant concentration. The pollutants here form a physical connection with the adsorbent. As a result, they are drawn out of the air and directed into the adsorbent. Activated carbons and zeolite materials are the most utilized adsorbents.
When the contaminants have been concentrated, they are moved to thermal or catalytic oxidation. At this location, concentrated pollutants are eliminated. After this, the purified air is released from the system. This procedure is an affordable and productive process for cleaning exhaust air with a low concentration of contaminants. If materials recycling is needed, systems like solvent recovery and condensation are used after the adsorption process.
The adsorbents are regenerated after a certain period to ensure pollutants do not become saturated and become unable to take in any more material. This process is known as desorption. It makes use of steam, inert gas, or hot air.
There are two kinds of adsorption processes available. The first process is fixed-bed adsorption, where many adsorbers are utilized alternately in desorption and adsorption modes. The second adsorption process is done with a substantially rotating rotor system comprising a particularly designed concentration rotor.
Sorpt.X SW
Dürr Air Pollution Control System provides certified solutions for emission control using both adsorption and absorption technologies.
Adsorption is used for concentrating the pollutants. The pollutants are separated from the exhaust air after adsorption by a sorptive system. In Absorption, contaminants are removed from the exhaust air. This process is usually used for purifying flue gases.
In India, Dürr Air Pollution Control System Maintenance Services India manufactures many Sorpt.X SW wet scrubbers, including packed tower designs, tray towers, and spray towers for industrial acid gas emission control.
Benefits of Sorpt.X SW
Minimal pressure drop
Easier operation and construction
Not susceptible to plugging
The removal efficiency is high for a range of acid gases such as HF, SOx (SO2 and SO3), and HCl.
The cost for capital equipment and installation is less
Footprint is small
Flexibility of functioning (acid gas concentration, gas volume etc.)
Functionality of Sorpt.X SW
Following the principle of acid gas removal, the acid gas is exposed to an alkaline agent, and by chemical reaction, it creates a stable salt. It can be subsequently removed with the liquid. This result is achieved in a spray chamber, like a vertical tower, where water incorporating the reagent supplies a contact surface for the chemical reaction to occur.
The reagents used often include:
Sodium carbonate (soda ash) Na2CO3
Sodium hydroxide (caustic) NaOH
Calcium hydroxide (hydrated lime) Ca(OH)2
Magnesium hydroxide Mg(OH)2
