With methanol to drive the PMP! Casio's new fuel cell

Now MP4 endurance ability is generally less than 5 hours, can be said that the performance of the battery has become the biggest bottleneck constraints, even though scientists have been struggling to explore, but now the best performance of the commercialization of lithium polymer batteries, or stop at. However, the rapid development of fuel cells, so that people see a ray of hope Japanese companies Casio has recently announced that they developed a new type of raw material the use of methanol fuel cell Inspiron 630m Battery, a smaller volume can provide greater impetus.

We can learn from the DigitalCameraInfo above on a more detailed description of this technology at work when the methanol electrolysis into hydrogen ejected, and then after some magical process, these gases will be converted into electricity. As can be seen from the picture of this cell not much larger than a coin, you can say that it is suitable for portable devices like PMP.

China's first batch of "mercury-free" green alkaline manganese battery brand to the public

China Battery Industry Association recently announced to the public our first batch of "mercury-free" green alkaline manganese batteries, and 11 manufacturers brands Bangshangyouming. They are: Guangzhou Tiger Head Battery Group Co., Ltd. production of "555" brand alkaline manganese batteries; Bank of China (Ningbo) Battery Co., Ltd. production of "Deer" brand alkaline manganese batteries; Chongqing battery factory production "train" brand alkaline manganese batteries; Shanghai White Elephant Swan Battery Co., Ltd production of "white elephant" brand alkaline manganese batteries; Fujian Nanping Nanfu Battery Co., Ltd production of "South Fu" brand alkaline manganese batteries; Daily Chemical Co., Ltd., Xiamen, three times the production of "Three Circle "brand alkaline manganese batteries; New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., Sichuan Changhong's production of" Changhong "brand alkaline manganese batteries; Long Co., Ltd. of Guangdong is the production of" Zheng-Long "brand alkaline manganese batteries; Zhejiang Mustang Battery Co., Ltd. production of" Mustang "brand alkaline manganese batteries; Li Battery Co., Ltd. Changzhou up production of" Da Li "brand alkaline manganese Inspiron 6400 Battery; high-power Battery Industrial Co., Ltd. production of" high power "brand alkaline manganese batteries.

The launch of the 11 brands of alkaline manganese batteries, by the authoritative department testing, mercury batteries were below 0.0001%, and uncontaminated soil mercury concentration close to, and used batteries basically no effect on the environment. According to the State Environmental Protection Administration officials said Secretary Wukong, waste recycling and mercury-free batteries do not have to be dealt with separately, along with domestic waste landfill treatment, so that from the source to solve the problem of pollution of the waste batteries.

In recent years, pollution of waste batteries(Inspiron 640m Battery and Inspiron 700m Battery) has been public concern about the environmental problems. People know that toxic waste batteries and can not throw, so a few years ago, many schools, offices, shops carried out recycling activities of waste batteries. But not long before activity throughout the recycling of waste batteries in trouble, because the recovery of waste batteries can not find a way out onto the huge pile, but become a burden. A few years ago, this newspaper had published a self-employed Tian Guirong Xinxiang City, Henan Province of the letter: "Who can help me deal with 20 tons of used batteries?" In 1999, Tian Guirong Beijing newspaper that carried out the activities of recycling of waste batteries, so she was very enlightening. She also launched in Xinxiang City, recycling of waste batteries activities, she has produced hundreds of battery recycling boxes, tens of thousands of leaflets were distributed, people never understood her actions to the support and participation of the recycling of waste batteries volume is also growing. However, the trouble began coming: "With so many used batteries in the end we supposed to? Really hard to die me! Who can tell me a good way to deal with used batteries?" Tian Guirong anxiously asked in the letter.

According to experts, a battery and the battery can be divided into two major categories of secondary batteries. Refers to a battery is not charging the battery, such as the alkaline manganese batteries, etc.; secondary Inspiron 710m Battery refers to the rechargeable batteries, such as nickel-hydrogen batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, as well as mobile phones and computers use lithium-ion batteries, automotive lead-acid batteries and so on. Secondary batteries contain some of the more precious metals such as nickel, lithium, lead, cadmium, etc., the higher recovery value. The primary battery is not worth anything contained in the use of limited value. Therefore, once the battery for recycling waste treatment is not cost-effective.

A battery is our daily lives, using one of the most widely used products, from calculators to the alarm clock, from MP3 to electronic dictionaries, which also can not live without the battery. China is the battery power production and consumption in 2005 reached 30.5 billion annual production, consumption reached 13.8 billion on average every Chinese person consumes 10 batteries a year.

Hazardous substances in waste batteries are mainly mercury, mercury is a highly toxic heavy metal, 50s of the last century took place in Japan shocked the world of public nuisance disease - Minamata disease is due to mercury pollution. In developed countries, has long been eliminated mercury batteries, the Inspiron 8500 Battery has achieved a "mercury-free." In China, 2000 years ago are basically the production of batteries containing mercury, the mercury content of up to 1% ~ 5%.

As the batteries are widely used, consumed in large quantity, it is difficult recovery, and recycling, there is no economic benefit. Therefore, countries in recent years taken on the pollution of waste battery recycling measures not to encourage or centralized processing, but rather, as the developed countries, as the battery from the source to achieve "mercury-free." As early as 1997, the State Environmental Protection Administration, Bureau of Technical Supervision Bureau and other nine ministries and commissions issued "on the limit of mercury in batteries required notice." The circular says: "First of all low-mercury, and ultimately achieving mercury-free. The meaning of low-mercury battery cells in the mercury content of less than 0.025% by weight, the implications for mercury-free batteries battery mercury content of less than 0.0001% by weight. "notice requirement:" Since January 1, 2001 onwards, to prohibit the domestic production of various types of mercury greater than 0.025% weight of the battery cell; from January 1, 2001 onwards, who entered the domestic market at home and abroad batteries , in single cells need to be marked on the mercury content (such as using 'low mercury' or 'Mercury' specified), no labeling of mercury content in batteries are not allowed to enter the market; since January 1, 2002, the ban Distribution of mercury content in the domestic market is greater than the weight of 0.025% of the Inspiron 8600 Battery cell. Since January 1, 2005, the ban in the domestic production of mercury batteries is greater than the weight of 0.0001% of the alkaline zinc-manganese batteries; 2006 January 1, the prohibited domestic distribution of mercury is greater than the battery weight of 0.0001% of the alkaline zinc-manganese batteries. "

Since 1997, the State issued a battery of "mercury limit order" after, in the China Battery Industry Association, under the guidance of some of China's large and medium sized enterprises to actively take action key battery, innovative production processes, improve raw material formulation. In recent years, non-mercury batteries of various brands green come out one after another in our country. As a leading enterprise of China's battery industry Nanfu Battery Co., Ltd. of Fujian in 2000 on the realization of all the series of alkaline-manganese battery contains no mercury, 5 years ahead of schedule to achieve the country "limit mercury order" target for the Chinese battery industry set an example, 2002 Series Nanfu alkaline Inspiron 9200 Battery passed the China Environmental Labeling Product Certification.

China Battery Industry Association in August of this year across the country organized the "green alkaline manganese batteries products" evaluation activities, organized by the China Battery Industry Association, or sales personnel to the production site storage sampling, commissioned the National Light Industry Quality Supervision and Inspection Center of the battery 11 production of backbone enterprises of mercury in alkaline manganese batteries were tested. After testing, these 11 key enterprises of mercury in alkaline manganese batteries are lower than the limit mercury content of mercury-free battery indicator, fully in line with national requirements. China Battery Industry Association, according to the sample test results, combined with the past three years, the industry uniform testing conditions to decide these 11 brands of alkaline manganese Inspiron 9300 Battery identified as the first "green alkaline manganese batteries products" to the public.

China Battery Industry Association, said the Secretary-General Wang Jingzhong to solve the problem of pollution of waste batteries, should start from the source, the most critical environmental hazards is a positive development on the small green products. "No Mercury" Green batteries launched, we have some understanding of spent batteries should be changed, such as "a fifth Inspiron 9400 Battery allows one square meter of land barren" and so on.

There was a time, it is the recycling of waste batteries to be promoted as an environmentally friendly behavior, while the State Environmental Protection Administration and the National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Construction, Science and Technology, Ministry of Commerce in October 2003 issued the "Waste Battery Pollution Prevention and Control Technology Policy "and pointed out that focus on recycling of waste batteries Nickel-cadmium batteries, nickel hydrogen batteries, lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries and other rechargeable batteries and silver oxide button-type primary battery. Of waste mercury-free batteries are not a hazardous waste, encouraging countries to focus the collection has reached a low mercury or mercury-free scrap required a Inspiron B120 Battery. That is to say, "no mercury" green batteries can "fling is over," no need to call everyone recovered.

Wang Jingzhong said that in order to promote the battery industry, the harmonious development with nature, it is recommended to strengthen the relevant state departments mercury alkali-manganese battery check for non-compliance of the enterprises to increase punishment. China Battery Industry Association, will be released in batches, "green alkaline manganese batteries" to encourage consumers to use green battery, so that China's Inspiron B130 Battery industry to truly become "environmentally friendly" green industry.
