• Purifying dairy wastewater – at the same time producing electricity

  In an EU-funded project the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB in Stuttgart is developing, together with industrial and scientific partners, a modular system to purify dairy wastewater electrochemically. Using an integrated fuel cell, the generated hydrogen will b more

• New method for producing clean hydrogen

  Duke University engineers have developed a novel method for producing clean hydrogen, which could prove essential to weaning society off of fossil fuels and their environmental implications. While hydrogen is ubiquitous in the environment, producing and collecting molecular hydrogen for transportati more

• X-ray analysis could boost legumes, thus reducing fertilizer pollution
  

  The overuse of nitrogen fertilizers in agriculture can wreak havoc on waterways, health and the environment. An international team of scientists aims to lessen the reliance on these fertilizers by helping beans and similar plants boost their nitrogen production, even in areas with traditionally poor more

• Helpers of all sizes for analysts
  

  Geologists analyze soil samples, the oil industry studies crude oil, and the steel industry wants to know the composition of slag. These are completely different fields, but all begin the analysis process with a high-temperature fusion treatment of the samples. But what equipment should be used for the fusion process? Platinum crucibles are ideally suited for the job, and are used in industrial and scientific laboratories around the world. Heraeus is a leading global manufacturer of platinum crucibles. It is remarkable that after over 130 years, we are still finding ways to improve this product more

• Battling Corrosion in Refineries
  

  Corrosion in refinery operations has been, and still is, the subject of many studies, papers, courses and web forums. Although a lot of what has been written shows that significant progress in understanding corrosion has been made, it also makes it clear that the problem continues to exist and that quite possibly is getting worse more

• Particle sizing with static laser scattering
  

  When determining particle sizes a wide variety of techniques are used in which sieving may be the most popular. Sieving is a relatively simple technique, despite the fact that of course different instrumental approaches can be used. The main advantages of sieving are the low price of the instrumentation and the fact that different fractions of the original sample can be prepared for further use. On the other hand, sieving is very time consuming and yields results only for a very limited number of particle sizes. Results from sieving typically vary due to several factors: the method of moving the sieve, the period of operation, the number of particles on the sieve and some physical properties such as shape or stickiness of the sample. In addition, the actual size of the mesh gaps of the sieves can have large variations from the nominal size more

• Formation of an iron phosphine-borane complex by formal insertion of BH3 into the Fe-P bond

  The unique hydrido phosphine-borane iron(II) complex [(dppa)(Ph2P-N-P(BH3)Ph2)Fe(H)] (1) was obtained by the reaction of iron(II) chloride and two equivalents of bis(diphenylphosphino)amine (dppa) with an excess of sodium borohydride in acetonitrile ethanol mixtures. Detailed investigations of the r more

• Phase-segregation induced growth of core-shell [small alpha]-Fe2O3/SnO2 heterostructures for lithium-ion battery

  In this paper, novel core-shell α-Fe2O3/SnO2 heterostructures (HSs) are successfully prepared by a one-step flame-assisted spray copyrolysis of iron and tin precursor. The effect of SnO2 components is investigated for the evolution of phase composition and morphology in detail. For the first time, i more

• The Mechanism for the Hydrogenation of Ketones Catalyzed by Knölker's Iron-Catalyst

  Knölker's iron-based catalysts have some value in “green” transformations given the relatively low toxicity of iron compared to more commonly used precious-metal catalysts. Density functional methods have been used to extensively explore the use of an iron catalyst for hydrogen-transfer processes. S more
