WASTE FUEL: Watt-reduction via Aqueous Solar Treatment and Electrolysis For Unrefined Effluent Liquids

Flashcards covering key concepts from the lecture on the WASTE FUEL system and its applications in hydrogen production.

WASTE FUEL

A system that integrates solar-powered electrolysis with unrefined effluent liquids to produce hydrogen gas.

Electrolysis

A process that uses electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen in an electrolyzer.

Hydrogen gas (H₂)

A renewable cooking fuel generated at the cathode during the electrolysis of greywater.

Cathode

The electrode in an electrolyzer where reduction occurs, producing hydrogen gas.

Anode

The electrode in an electrolyzer where oxidation occurs, producing oxygen gas.

Urea

An organic compound found in greywater that enhances hydrogen production efficiency by reducing the required voltage.

Electrolyzer

A unit that facilitates the electrochemical reaction to produce hydrogen and oxygen from water.

Denr

Department of Environment and Natural Resources; responsible for wastewater management and environmental protection in the Philippines.

Solar energy

Renewable energy generated from sunlight, utilized as the power source in the WASTE FUEL system.

Greywater

Domestic wastewater that is collected from sources such as sinks and showers, which can be utilized as an electrolyte in the WASTE FUEL system.
