danielfpA low cost, open source, Cu/Mn rechargeable static battery Building a rechargeable battery is not an easy task. Although many great technologies are available (like LiFePO4 or even lead acid batteries), building these batteries isn't trivial because of the technological hurdles, manufacturing requirements, chemical substances, knowledge and safety requirements. It would be ideal if we had access to an open source rechargeable battery technology that was easy to construct in practice with readily available materials, robust and at low cost.

Black smoker vents sustain unique ecosystems in the dark. Endemic species of long, segmented bristle worms and tiny crustaceans graze on bacteria mats and flit among fields of chemosynthetic tube worms, growing thick as grass. Dense banks of sponges cling to the summits and slopes of underwater mountains. And among all this life, minerals build up slowly over millennia in the form of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sulfide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sulfide</a> deposits and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/manganese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#manganese</a> crusts."Those minerals are the kind needed to fuel the global green energy transition—<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/copper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#copper</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/zinc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#zinc</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cobalt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cobalt</a>. In January 2024, Norway surprised the world with the announcement it planned to open its waters for exploratory deep-sea mining, the first nation to do so. If all went to plan, companies would be issued licenses to begin identifying mineral deposits as soon as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Spring2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Spring2025</a>. To some scientists who’d spent decades mapping and studying the geology and ecology of the Norwegian seabed and Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge, the decision seemed premature—they still lacked critical data on the area targeted for mining. The government’s own Institute of Marine Research (IMR) accused it of extrapolating from a small area where data has already been collected to the much larger zone now targeted“ 'Our advice has been we don’t have enough knowledge,' says Rebecca Ross, an <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecologist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ecologist</a> at IMR who works on Norway’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mareano" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mareano</a> deep-sea mapping initiative. She says the decision was based solely on the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/geology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#geology</a> of the area. Taking high-resolution scans of the seabed and sampling its geology is the first step when research ships enter a new area, but critical biological and ecological research is more difficult and tends to come later—which is the case on the ridge area targeted for mining. Ross says it’s certain that area contains vulnerable marine ecosystems that would be affected by the light and noise pollution and sediment plumes generated by mining. The IMR estimates closing the knowledge gap on the target area could take ten years."The same conflict, with a partial scientific understanding misinterpreted and used to justify resource extraction, is playing out in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Pacific" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Pacific</a>, where mining pilot projects are already underway in international waters.

Chuck DarwinBacteria helping to ❇️extract rare metals from old batteries ❇️in boost for green tech Scientists have formed an unusual new alliance in their fight against climate change -- 🔥They are using <a href="https://c.im/tags/bacteria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bacteria</a> to help them extract <a href="https://c.im/tags/rare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rare</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/metals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#metals</a> vital in the development of green technology. 🆘 Without the help of these microbes, we could run out of raw materials to build turbines, electric cars and solar panels, they say.The work is being spearheaded by scientists at the University of Edinburgh and aims to 👉 use bacteria that can extract lithium, cobalt, manganese and other minerals from old batteries and discarded electronic equipment. 👈These scarce and expensive metals are vital for making electric cars and other devices upon which green technology devices depend -- a point stressed by Professor Louise Horsfall, chair of sustainable biotechnology at Edinburgh.“If we are going to end our dependence on petrochemicals and rely on electricity for our heating, transport and power, then ⭐️we will become more and more dependent on metals,” said Horsfall. “All those photovoltaics, drones, 3D printing machines, hydrogen fuel cells, wind turbines and motors for electric cars require metals – many of them rare – that are key to their operations.”♦️Politics is also an issue, scientists warn. <a href="https://c.im/tags/China" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#China</a> controls not only the main supplies of rare earth elements, but dominates the processing of them as well. “To get around these problems we need to develop a <a href="https://c.im/tags/circular" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#circular</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/economy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#economy</a> where we <a href="https://c.im/tags/reuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#reuse</a> these minerals wherever possible, otherwise we will run out of materials very quickly,” said Horsfall. ⚠️“There is only a finite amount of these metals on Earth and we can no longer afford to throw them away as waste as we do now. We need new <a href="https://c.im/tags/recycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#recycling</a> technologies if we want to do something about global warming.”And the key to this recycling was the microbe, said Horsfall. “<a href="https://c.im/tags/Bacteria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Bacteria</a> are wonderful, little crazy things that can carry out some weird and wonderful processes. Some bacteria can synthesise nanoparticles of metals, for example. We believe they do this as a detoxification process. Basically they latch on metal atoms and then they spit them out as nanoparticles so that they are not poisoned by them.”✅ Using such strains of bacteria, Horsfall and her team have now taken waste from electronic batteries and cars, dissolved it and then used bacteria to latch on to specific metals in the waste and deposit these as solid chemicals. “First we did it with <a href="https://c.im/tags/manganese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#manganese</a>. Later we did it with <a href="https://c.im/tags/nickel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nickel</a> and <a href="https://c.im/tags/lithium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lithium</a>.

Four of the five 'critical minerals' for electric vehicle <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EV</a> batteries have been mined in the state in the past. Will their economics now change? by Dwayne Yancey August 18, 2022"The key to electric vehicle <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/batteries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#batteries</a> are five so-called 'critical minerals' – <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lithium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lithium</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nickel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nickel</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cobalt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#cobalt</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/manganese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#manganese</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/graphite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#graphite</a>. Four of these five minerals have been mined in Virginia in the past; the fifth (lithium) is suspected in Virginia but has yet to be proven. Will increased demand for these minerals make these deposits economically viable again?"To some extent, this is unknowable because we don’t know what that demand – and those future prices – will be. In theory, if a single fleck of something is worth a billion dollars, then some company could spend a half billion to dig it out and still make a fortune. We also don’t know whether mining for these minerals will be allowed in Virginia. There’s a large deposit of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/uranium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#uranium</a> in Virginia that’s never been mined and probably won’t be. "In 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SCOTUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SCOTUS</a> upheld Virginia’s moratorium on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UraniumMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UraniumMining</a>. There’s a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gold" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gold</a> vein in Virginia, too, that’s been mined in the past. There’s also a state study underway over whether to allow or ban gold mining in the future. Even just the potential of gold mining has stirred controversy in Buckingham County. All the minerals we’ll deal with today occur outside the traditional coal-mining country of Southwest Virginia, so who knows what the state or local reaction will be if and when someone proposes to open a mine somewhere else?"So let’s look at what we do know."Electric vehicles may be <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentallyFriendly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EnvironmentallyFriendly</a> in the sense that they’re not spewing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/carbon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#carbon</a> into the atmosphere, but they do require six times more <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/minerals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#minerals</a> than conventional vehicles, according to the International Energy Administration – so a lot more <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mining</a> will be needed to support electric vehicles than the ones we have now. Mining is generally not considered an environmentally friendly thing to do so here’s a classic trade-off: A green-friendly climate bill is actually going to promote more mining somewhere, if not in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UnitedStates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UnitedStates</a> then somewhere on the planet." <a href="https://cardinalnews.org/2022/08/18/will-climate-bill-lead-to-more-mining-in-virginia/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://cardinalnews.org/2022/08/18/will-climate-bill-lead-to-more-mining-in-virginia/</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExtractiveMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ExtractiveMining</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OpenPitMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenPitMining</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Greenwashing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Greenwashing</a>
