Autor Anup Pradhan, Nheta Willie, Junior Mabiza, Charles Mbohwa, Benedikt Buchspies
en Limba Engleză Paperback – noi 2020
Life Cycle and Criticality Assessment of Platinum Extraction, Usage and Energy Applicationsdiscusses past, present and future research works on platinum and its applications to fuel cells. It examines the global trends of platinum mining, processing and its applications, with case studies from the Southern African region. The book offers a brief discussion on different types of fuel cells and a detailed description of platinum-based fuel cell technology. The environmental and socioeconomic impacts of the production chain of fuel cell technology are evaluated using lifecycle assessment, along with a critical assessment of platinum group metals that focuses on all aspects of its sustainability.


  • Offers a comprehensive overview of the platinum value chain in relation to its application in energy technologies, including fuel cells and electrolyzers
  • Presents trends and cutting-edge technologies
  • Examines different perspectives, such as technologies of mining, processing, sustainability aspects and criticality for the use of platinum in fuel cells
