To make natural gas and biogas suitable for use, the methane has to be separated from the carbon dioxide. This involves the use of membranes: filters that stop the methane and let the CO2 pass through ...

Hydrogen is one of the most abundant elements on Earth and an exceptionally clean fuel source. While it is making its way into the fuel cells of electric cars, busses and heavy equipment, its ...

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking one-step, crystal growth process for making ultra-thin layers of material with molecular-sized pores. Researchers demonstrated the use of the material, ...

Named after the two-faced Roman god Janus to reflect its dual-purpose design, researchers present a novel membrane system – a Janus channel of membranes (JCM) – capable of simultaneously separating ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) As high-tech industries continue to expand, the demand for rare earth elements – essential for everything from smartphones to electric vehicles – has skyrocketed, making the ...

Dairy processors are increasingly turning to advanced membrane technologies to boost product yield while maintaining ...

Most industrial chemists spend their days separating the components of large quantities of chemical mixtures into pure or purer forms. The processes involved, such as distillation, account for 10–15% ...

Researchers developed a highly selective membrane that efficiently separates carbon dioxide from other gases, supporting cleaner energy and industrial processes. (Nanowerk News) Reducing carbon ...
