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 ...

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) ...

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 ...

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 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, ...

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 ...

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