The method develop at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland involves dissolving worn and discarded cotton and using it as a raw material for new fibre. The first product models demonstrate that recycled fibre can be transformed into a yarn and pleasant fabric.
An additive for conventional fuel made up of oxygenated organic compounds could help in reducing the discharge of pollutants into the atmosphere during the combustion of fossil fuels. The aspect of how these potential additives decompose under combustion-relevant conditions has recently been established by KAUST researchers.
Polycarbonates can be found in numerous products from phone cases to airplane windows. Globally, several million tons of polycarbonate are manufactured annually.
Researchers in the Energy Safety Research Institute at Swansea University have developed a novel composite material that has potential as a catalyst for the degradation of environmentally-harmful artificial dye pollutants, which are released at a rate of closely 300,000 tons annually into the world’s water.
A team of Researchers at the University of Illinois are working towards developing more environmentally friendly catalysts for the manufacture of resin and plastic precursors that are regularly derived from fossil fuels.
Pollution and mankind’s dependence on petroleum products can both be reduced by capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) and converting it to methanol and other useful chemicals. Therefore, scientists are extremely interested in catalysts that help in such chemical conversions.
In a time span of just two years, scientists from Caltech and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, or Berkeley Lab, have almost doubled the number of materials that can be potentially used in solar fuels.
A team of researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have discovered a simple, reliable method to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from ambient air, providing a new alternative for carbon capture and storage strategies to tackle global warming.
Worcestershire based Xoptix Ltd, have seen an increase in demand for their CementSizer due to its unique way of ensuring process efficiency targets are met, while reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint.
DTU Energy, the department of energy conversion and storage that is part of the Technical University of Denmark, has purchased high flux CT (computed tomography) equipment from Nikon Metrology to investigate energy-related materials non-destructively, such as those found in batteries, electrolysis cells and fuel cells.
