Application and Analysis of a Salt Bridge Reference Electrode Setup for PEM Water Electrolysis: Towards an Extended Voltage Loss Break Down

Information on PEMWE performance is often obtained from full cell measurements. The level of detail of this information is, however, comparably low. This contribution analyzes kinetic parameters for anode and cathode reactions separately as a step towards an extended loss breakdown through a salt bridge reference electrode. The reference electrode setup is shown in detail, and qualitative measurements are discussed. OER and HER Tafel slopes and exchange current densities for both reactions are reported. An outlook on future use cases for the salt bridge reference electrode is given and supported by measurement data

Segregation and mixing of granular material in industrial processes

Within the EU-funded PARDEM network mixing and segregation are studied in silos and heaps, agitated mixers and fluidized beds. A method is presented with which mixing and segregation can be characterized, adapted for quasi-static to dynamic systems and applied at the global system level as well as at the local level. This paper attempts to give an overview of the applicability of this analysis by providing three instances, being chute flow representing flow down a heap, agitated mixing and fluidization, in which the method is applied
