Low-energy carbon capture using food-production byproducts
Direct-air capture (DAC) of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is required to meet climate goals, but highly effective and inexpensive DAC remains elusive. Researchers at ETH Zurich (www.ethz.ch) have developed a novel approach using waste proteins from dairy and tofu…
Field trials demonstrate the ability of novel scavenger to remove H2S from natural gas
Field demonstration trials of a novel method for removing hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from natural gas were recently completed in the Permian basin (Texas, USA). The trials demonstrated the ability of the technology, known as ECOTREAT®, to remove H2S from gas…
Spark ablation technology cuts iridium use by 90% in PEM water electrolysis
Proton-exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis holds significant promise for “green” hydrogen production, but broader adoption hinges on reducing dependence on costly platinum-group metals, such as iridium. A new production method for ultra-thin nanoporous layers developed by VSParticle B.V. (VSP; Delft,…
The Future is Here: Embracing a Revolutionary Wave of AODD-Pump Diaphragms
In chemical processing, traditional diaphragm designs can often lead to frustrating issues such as outer-piston wear, leak points and time-consuming cleaning. This isn't just an inconvenience; it leads to costly downtime, safety concerns and reduced throughput. In the highly…
World’s largest e-methanol reactor delivered in major decarbonization initiative
Icelandic firm Carbon Recycling International (CRI) recently delivered the largest of its kind e-methanol reactor for the Liaoyuan E-Methanol Project in Jilin Province, China. Delivery and successful installation of CRI’s proprietary methanol converter reactor is a major construction milestone. The…
Commercialization of fermented lactoferrin takes a major step forward
Novonesis Group (Lyngby, Denmark) announced an agreement with TurtleTree, an expert in precision fermented ingredients, and the first company to receive a US GRAS “No Objection Letter” for its precision fermented lactoferrin LF+®. Simultaneously, Novonesis is making a minor investment…
New partnership will develop low-carbon ethanol ecosystem in France
VIVESCIA (a leading French grain cooperative group), Roquette (a global leader in plant-based ingredients and pharmaceutical excipients serving the food, nutrition, pharmaceutical and bio-industry markets) and Siplec E.Leclerc (the cooperative of the E.Leclerc Movement responsible for energy products and services)…
Staying Ahead of the Curve: What the Latest Global Pharmacopoeia Updates Mean for Your Lab Balance Program
Regulatory requirements for laboratory balances in the pharmaceutical industry have undergone their most significant overhaul in years, with all four major pharmacopoeias — most recent USP 41 & 1251, Ph.Eur., JP, and ChP — now moving in concert toward clearer,…
Know Your Numbers: Understanding Measurement Uncertainty in Precision Weighing
Even a perfectly calibrated laboratory balance raises an important question every scientist in a regulated environment must be able to answer: how confident can you be in the weight value displayed? This technical white paper, authored by Sartorius metrologists, walks…
Discover How to Simplify and Strengthen Your Chemical Analysis Workflows
Whether you're working in bulk chemicals, fine and specialty chemicals, or cosmetics and personal care, maintaining precision, purity, and regulatory compliance at every stage of production is non-negotiable. This resource explores the full landscape of analytical challenges labs face today…
