Plasma

Nearly all everyday items are produced from natural gas and crude oil. In light of the global climate change and energy independence, natural gas consumption must urgently be reduced. The spin-off “Cyclize” of the University of Stuttgart has developed a new procedure with which natural gas can be re more

The Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM), an institution under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Science and ICT, has developed an innovative process that uses renewable energy to produce ammonia at room temperature and normal pressure. This innovative technology is expected to dramat more

Enzymes can do a good job as catalysts – they can, for example, synthesise a specific product, but not its mirror image, which has to be laboriously separated in other processes. However, they are sensitive and are sometimes inactivated by the substrate they convert. Using plasma, the team of Profes more

In this paper, we explore a variety of aqueous digestion techniques for the determination of gold, in a wide variety of mineral matrices. These include feldspar, basalt, pyrites, and other gold-containing minerals. The acid-based digestion methods compete effectively with fire assay to deliver accur more
