Beta-aluminum oxide ceramics obtainable by extrusion of a mixture that contains a sodium compound

The invention relates to a device for storing heat, comprising a heat storage medium which absorbs heat in order to store heat and releases heat in order to use the stored heat, and a container for holding the heat storage medium, the container being closed by a gastight cover, and the device comprising volume compensation means in order to compensate for a volume increase of the heat storage medium () due to a temperature rise and a volume decrease due to a temperature reduction. The invention furthermore relates to a method for storing heat, in which heat is transferred to a heat storage medium in order to store heat or heat is discharged from the heat storage medium to the heat carrier in order to use the heat, the heat storage medium being held in a container which is closed by a gastight cover, wherein a volume expansion of the heat storage medium () is compensated for by a volume increase of the container () or by heat storage medium () flowing out of the container () into a buffer container (), and a volume decrease of the heat storage medium () is compensated for by a volume decrease of the container () or by heat storage medium () flowing out of the buffer container () into the container ().

Device and method for storing heat

The invention relates to a method of storing, transporting and supplying electrochemical energy, with storage and supply being physically separated.

Method for storing and transporting electrochemical energy

The invention relates to an electrode unit for an electrochemical device, comprising a solid electrolyte () and a porous electrode (), the solid electrolyte () dividing a compartment for cathode material and a compartment for anode material and the porous electrode () being extensively connected to the solid electrolyte (), with a displacer () being accommodated in the anode material compartment, where the displacer () is manufactured from a stainless steel or from graphite foil and bears resiliently against the internal geometry of the solid electrolyte () in such a way that the displacer () does not contact the solid electrolyte over its full area, or with the displacer comprising an outer shell () of stainless steel or graphite, and a core () of a nonferrous metal, the nonferrous metal being thermoplastically deformable at a temperature which is lower than the temperature at which the stainless steel is thermoplastically deformable, and where for production the shell () of stainless steel or graphite is pressed onto the solid electrolyte () by introduction and heating of the nonferrous metal, and on cooling forms a gap between solid electrolyte () and shell () of stainless steel.

Electrode unit

The invention relates to an improved industrial apparatus for the large-scale storage of energy and a process for storing and transporting electric energy by means of this apparatus.

A solid polycrystalline potassium ion conductor having a &#x3b2;&#x2033;-AlOstructure, its production, and the preparation of potassium metal using this potassium ion conductor.

A process for coating internals in a reactor, except for the coating of electrically heatable, at least partly open-cell foams, with a catalytically active material or a precursor thereof, in which an aerosol which contains the catalytically active material or the precursor thereof as a disperse phase is provided and the aerosol is passed through the reactor at a rate in the range from 0.1 to 4 m/s, which is established so that the disperse phase of the aerosol is deposited on the internals in the reactor.

In situ recoating of catalyst beds

A process is proposed for reducing the aerosol-related discharge from a separation column () in which one or more components are separated off from a gaseous or liquid starting mixture (G) at actively separating internals (), aerosols being present or formed in a gas phase, which comprises the actively separating internals () being segmented at one or more separation points, which are determined in such a manner that the aerosols have at least 50% of their maximum particle size at the separation point or separation points, and an internal () being provided at each separation point, which internal is operated under at least partially flooded conditions, a continuous liquid phase being formed at least in partial regions of the internal (), to which region the aerosols are bound.
