A latest study introduces a surfactant-based method for the selective recovery of fine active materials from high-temperature water electrolyzers. By employing cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) ...

Separation techniques and principles that were used by early gold prospectors are still used today in the mining industry. Some of these methods, transferred to the recycling industry, have ...

New processing methods developed by MIT researchers could help ease looming shortages of the essential metals that power everything from phones to automotive batteries, by making it easier to separate ...

A nontoxic separation process recovers critical minerals from electronic scrap waste. There's some irony in the fact that devices that seem indispensable to modern life -- mobile phones, personal ...

The crystal structure of Cu-ZIF-gis that shows cylindrical straight channels along the c-axis. The pores were calculated with Connolly surfaces with a probe of 1.1 Å. (Cu, orange; N, blue; C, gray; O, ...

Quantum chemistry is quietly entering a new phase, one where some of the hardest problems in materials science are finally ...

Researchers have developed a new chemical separation method that is vastly more efficient than conventional processes, opening the door to faster discovery of new elements, easier nuclear fuel ...

The separation process can be conducted using various instruments, but the most fitting method depends on the mixture’s properties. This article covers the importance of solid-liquid separation in the ...

Without the critical step of separation—isolating cells, nucleic acids, and proteins from biological samples—many workflows in research, diagnostics, and cell therapy would not be possible. Over the ...
