Researchers at University of New South Wales have reported details about a novel sieving-aids technology that improves the separation of metal fragments from other components when recycling ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The petrochemical industry relies on separating chemicals that differ by just fractions of a nanometer in size. Methanol must be purified from similarly-sized molecules in the ...

Researchers have developed a microfluidic technique for fabricating a new class of metal-organic framework (MOF) membranes inside hollow polymer fibers that are just a few hundred microns in diameter.

Recently, a research team led by Prof. CHEN Changlun from Institute of Plasma Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of Chinese Academy of Sciences, studied Cu(I)Cu(II)-BTC, a kind of hydrogen ...

The past October marked an exciting time for those in the field of isotopic science. Two brand new approaches to isolate and enrich light elements have been reported. Although a variety of elements ...

(Nanowerk News) Classical molecular sieve membranes, with 3D microparticles and 2D nanosheets as primary building blocks, are promising in chemical separation. Separation within such membranes relies ...

Hydrogen isotope separation technologies play a pivotal role in energy production, nuclear safety and advanced research. These technologies aim to distinguish between remarkably similar isotopic ...

Deuterium is the heavy twin brother of hydrogen; however, it is more than 20 times rarer than identical twins. It accounts for only 0.015 percent of natural hydrogen and is twice as heavy as the light ...

Gas separation technology is an important factor in a number of industries. Conventional gas purification technologies include distillation, absorption and sieve separation methods. Dr. Hongcai Zhou ...
