• Novel photocatalyst effectively turns carbon dioxide into methane fuel with light
  

  Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the major greenhouse gases causing global warming. If carbon dioxide could be converted into energy, it would be killing two birds with one stone in addressing the environmental issues. A joint research team led by City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has developed a n more

• 'Swiss Army knife' catalyst can make natural gas burn cleaner
  

  Reza Shahbazian-Yassar, professor of mechanical and industrial engineering at the University of Illinois Chicago and colleagues facilitated the development of a cutting edge "Swiss Army knife" catalyst made up of 10 different elements - each of which on its own has the ability to reduce the combusti more

• New light-based method for faster and 'green' production of building blocks for medicines
  

  In industry, gaseous hydrocarbons, such as ethane and methane, are frequently changed into molecules that can act as building blocks for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Typically, these processes take place at high temperatures and pressures, and can also produce large amounts of pollutants. Rese more

New Moisture Analyzer for Natural Gas Gives Unrivalled Accuracy in Changing Gas Streams

Michell Instruments has launched its latest moisture analyzer for natural gas – the OptiPEAK TDL600. Using tunable diode laser spectroscopy (TDLAS) technology, the analyzer offers a class-leading accuracy with a lower detection limit of less than 1ppmV. While TDLAS technology has been used for some more

The Atmospheres of the Solar System

We’re heading out of this world for today’s post, to examine the atmospheric compositions of the other planets in the solar system, as well as our own. Practically every other planet in our solar system can be considered to have an atmosphere, apart from perhaps the extremely thin, transient atmosph more

• The environmental biorefinery: state of the art on the production of hydrogen and value-added biomolecules in mixed-culture fermentation

  The environmental biorefinery consists in recovering and adding value to waste, possibly through a multi-product approach. A first implementation of such concept is the production of methane and nutrient-rich digestate by anaerobic digestion in biogas plants. However, methane and digestate have only more

• Near-infrared incoherent broadband cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy (NIR-IBBCEAS) for detection and quantification of natural gas components

  The principle of near-infrared incoherent broadband cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy was employed to develop a novel instrument for detecting natural gas leaks as well as for testing the quality of natural gas mixtures. The instrument utilizes the absorption features of methane, butane, ethan more
