Ammonia is widely used in fertilizer as it has the maximum nitrogen content of commercial fertilizers, making it vital for the production of crops. However, two carbon dioxide (CO2) molecules are generated for every molecule of ammonia made, adding to surplus CO2 in the air.
Researchers using the Advanced Photon Source have found new ways to design catalysts that can significantly improve the clean hydrogen production process, and make it cost effective.
A new study proposes that advanced catalytic converters could have longer lifespans and need a lesser amount of rare materials to work.
Scientists have created a new membrane technology that facilitates better elimination of carbon dioxide (CO2) from mixed gases, for example, emissions from power plants.
A team of ETH researchers headed by Athina Anastasaki were successful in breaking down plastic into its molecular building blocks and recovering over 90% of them. This is the first step towards genuine plastic recycling.
In a review recently published in the open-access journal Energies, researchers discussed the utility of a rice-based product in the development of a novel methodology for capturing CO2 gas from effluent gases.
In an article recently published in the open-access journal Materials, researchers discussed the development of construction materials using wastewater and its potential applications in the circular economy for the mass production of bricks.
A paper has been published online investigating how air quality in cities can be improved by implementing different strategies for smart traffic management.
A team of researchers from New York in the USA has explored the development of aesthetically pleasing aerogels for window design, which has implications for reducing heat loss in structures, with the possibility of use in green building design.
An innovative method of recycling rare earth elements from electronic waste has gone commercial. A team of researchers from the Critical Materials Institute (CMI), a U.S. Department of Energy Innovation Hub led by the Ames Laboratory, developed a novel way to extract rare earth elements (rare earths) from the high-powered magnets in electronic waste (e-waste).
