Dry reforming of methane (DRM), in which carbon dioxide and methane are combined to form synthesis gas (H2 and CO), is an attractive route to making syngas because it does not require consumption of water and does not produce CO2…
A next-generation absorbent material with a high affinity for short- and long-chain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) has recently been granted a patent in the U.S. Developed by Puraffinity Ltd. (London, U.K.; www.puraffinity.com), the material is bottom-up-designed, beginning with a…
Biogenic materials, including agricultural residue or other organic waste, hold a considerable amount of energy density in the form of carbon and hydrogen, but efficiently processing these solid materials to harvest energy can pose challenges. The Modular Conversion TechnologyTM (MCT)…
This flowmeter is designed for demanding applications Measuring volumetric flow accurately and reliably is difficult for applications where the process liquid is highly viscous, extremely abrasive, prone to plugging, at high temperature, or a combination of these conditions. In applications…
One of the main limiting factors in the production of “green” hydrogen via electrochemical water splitting is the relatively slow rate of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the use of very expensive noble metals like iridium to catalyze the…
Presented here is the progress and resolution of a troubleshooting case involving a distillation column with a capacity reduction problem Troubleshooting distillation columns during operation is often the key to stable production at industrial facilities. The collection of troubleshooting references…
Meeting climate-change goals requires steep reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions from existing power plants and hard-to-abate industry operations. However, the energy required to release captured CO2 from sorbent material is a challenge for the economic viability of these efforts. Also, retrofitting…
