Achieving the breakthrough of "Zero" in Chongqing, institution of Energy and Power Engineering won the gold medal in China's "Internet +" College Student Entrepreneurship and Innovation Competition

On October 13, 2019, in the fifth China "Internet +" college students' innovative undertaking competition finals, researcher Xia Ao guidance and Yang Zhengjie, Zhao Yong-heng classmates are responsible for the "Turning Waste into Hydrogen," works and they won the fifth China "Internet +" gold prize contest of college students' innovative undertaking the international track, Southwest University won the race gold medal in international circuit for the first time. In the events, Chongqing University obtained, including from the gold medal, 2 gold, four silver and one bronze, created the Chongqing University and Chongqing city best history, realized in the "Internet +" the historic gold medal zero breakthrough, in the development of Chongqing real reveal the status of "heavy", as a "big".

Hydrogen energy is the ideal energy in the future, which has the advantages of high energy density, clean product, etc., and the conversion of organic waste into hydrogen by means of biological fermentation has significant energy saving and environmental protection benefits. Turning Waste Into Hydrogen takes wet garbage and organic wastewater as raw materials, and designs a new type of reactor based on electrodialysis for in-situ removal of fermentation by-products and intensification of fermentation to produce hydrogen, so as to greatly improve the hydrogen production quantity and rate. On this basis, a new generation of biological hydrogen production system coupled with solar photovoltaic and photothermal utilization is constructed, which significantly reduces the cost of hydrogen production and has a broad application prospect.
