Green technologies in energy and materials science -development prospects

Literature information about the problems in the technology of energy and ceramics is given. In the article the information about the promising directions of development of energy and firing technologies, about the influence of sintering material in the microwave field on the structure and properties of the material and the prospects of this direction in the hydrogen energy industry is considered. The results of firing samples of diatomite with additives of carbonate clay (marl) and NaCl salt in a microwave oven are considered. Microphotographs of the structures of the obtained materials are presented. For compositions of diatomite, a mixture of diatomite, marl and NaCl salt, the results of X-ray diffraction analysis and microphotographs of material structures are considered. For diatomite containing montmorillonite clay, a large exothermic effect in the temperature range 400 - 700 ° C was found upon heating. The composition based on diatomite with the addition of marl and salt passes this temperature range with endothermic effect. A promising direction of research into the technology of synthesis and storage of hydrogen is shown.
