Purchasing supplier capacity under

The second type of MgH powder was purchased from ABCR GmbH Co. KG, sold under the trade name MG-5026. Its average purity claimed by the supplier is 98% (remaining Mg). For simplicity, it will be referred to hereafter as the ABCR powder. Volumetric desorption tests were very reproducible, giving the average value of desorbed hydrogen equal to 7.5 wt.% which is nearly identical to the theoretical purity-corrected capacity of 7.51 at 98% purity. This testifies to... 

Equation (1) is the total material purchasing cost (PC) acquiring material from all suppliers in FL and recycling material from secondary market in RL. Equation (2) is the total fixed installation cost (BC) of all potential recycling units of all stages in RL. Equations (3)-(5) are the total production cost (MC) of FL and RL under different technology levels. Equation (6) states that total capacity expansion cost...
