Abstract: Electrochemical and other process industries frequently vent or flare hydrogen by products to the atmosphere. The cleanliness of hydrogen and the efficiency of fuel cells taken together offer an appealing alternative to fossil fuels. Implementing hydrogen-powered fuel cells on a significant scale, however requires major advances in hydrogen production, storage, and use. Splitting water renewably offers the most plentiful and climate-friendly source of hydrogen and can be achieved through electrolytic, photochemical, or biological means Also summarized are the fundamental principles of fuel cell thermodynamics and of fuel cell power plant engineering. Throughout the paper, current and future perspectives regarding thermodynamics and sustainable development are considered.

Abstract: Spectral analysis of the isomers of curcumin was studied using Spec-UV Software, for peak picking, graphics printout, Absorbance ratio calculation for selected wavelengths which included MPU Software Platform/Spec UV software workstation and spectral bandwidth of 2nm. Turmeric, a food additive, which has a main component curcumin, has shown surprisingly beneficial effects in experimental studies in the diseases characterized by an inflammatory effects. Several natural substances have greater antioxidant effects, including and curcumenoids. The extract of the curcumin was prepared and chemical tests were performed with structural analysis. The pharmacological properties as antioxidant effects were studied.
