Although Li-ion batteries are currently the dominant technology in the rechargeable-battery sector, sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries possess many benefits in terms of sustainability, safety and costs, and are poised to greatly expand their commercial usage. Sodium-ion battery specialist Faradion Ltd. (Sheffield,…
One of the main problems in the conversion of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, into liquid fuel or hydrogen is the development of coke- and sintering-resistant catalysts. Nickel on magnesium oxide (Ni/MgO) has long been identified as…
The MS-TS analytical balance (photo) features a robust full-metal housing, as well as built-in quality-assurance and safety features designed for shared laboratory equipment. In addition to being easy-to-clean, the MS-TS offers Glove Mode, which makes the touchscreen even more sensitive…
A common adage says “if you can’t measure it, you can’t control it.” Now, advances in flow-measurement technologies are increasing the breadth of what it is possible to measure As process demands evolve and organizations increasingly focus on sustainability in…
Ensuring optimal screening processes and productivity is vital for a vast range of processing needs. This company recently expanded its 10,000-ft2 Materials Testing Laboratory (photo), which conducts advanced screening testing. The lab’s experts recently worked on a full-scale material-recovery test…
The newly redesigned RS-02 high-shear pilot-scale mixer (photo) is well suited for pilot plants and small-scale production, including product development, formula optimization and trial mixtures. The RS-02 redesign includes a mobile lift stand with a wider base for added stability…
The new Pascal CI4350 differential-pressure (DP) transmitter (photo) is equipped with filling-level software and can display differential and static pressure at the same time. The device has a high-definition graphic display, which makes comprehensive configuration possible, as well as simulations…
The presence of moisture — even in very small amounts — can be extremely detrimental the manufacture of many products, including semiconductors. Removal of moisture from a contaminated process is a labor-intensive process that requires large volumes of high-purity gases.…
The TDLS8100 probe-type tunable diode-laser-spectrometer (TLDS) realtime gas analyzer (photo) makes quick and accurate in situ gas-concentration measurements, eliminating the requirement for sampling and conditioning components in industrial process-heating applications. These capabilities support safety improvements, emissions reductions, optimization of fuel…
Hena 50 (photo) and 70 are single-stage, oil-sealed rotary vane pumps that were developed for the demanding requirements of mass spectrometer systems. They achieve pumping speeds of between 32 and 59 m3/h, depending on their size and speed of rotation.…
