• A membrane-free lithium/polysulfide semi-liquid battery for large-scale energy storage

  Scientists in the US have developed a new lithium/polysulfide (Li/PS) semi-liquid battery for large-scale energy storage, with lithium polysulfide (Li2S8) in ether solvent as a catholyte and metallic lithium as an anode. As the catholyte is designed to cycle only in the range between sulfur and Li2S more

• Better batteries from waste sulfur

  A new chemical process can transform waste sulfur into a lightweight plastic that may improve batteries for electric cars, reports a University of Arizona-led team. The new plastic has other potential uses, including optical uses. The team has successfully used the new plastic to make lithium-sulfur 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

• 35 years' experience in "black gold"
  

  There is a paradoxical consequence of the financial crisis: To produce bitumen is more attractive than ever. In the last six months prices for crude oil and, in particular, the consumption of heavy, sulfur-containing marine Diesel fuel (bunker oils) have dropped, while at the same time the need for bitumen has gone up all over the world due to government infrastructure investment programs. For this reason, the demand for Biturox® plants to produce road bitumen in an economical manner is increasing more
