Rare earth elements (REEs) are essential for everyday technologies such as smartphones, LED lights, wind turbines and many ...

Rare earth metals are not as rare as their name suggests. However, they are indispensable for the modern economy. After all, these 17 metals are essential raw materials for digitalization and the ...

A novel porous material capable of separating deuterium (D2) from hydrogen (H2) at a temperature of 120 K has been introduced. Notably, this temperature exceeds the liquefaction point of natural gas, ...

The panel identified five issues that were common to the chemical and petroleum refining industries: the availability of lower cost oxygen; methods for removing acid gases and hydrogen separations; ...

The preceding chapters gave an overview of the many advances in chemical separations and other fields that have emerged in the last 3 decades. Despite the advances, critical challenges remain for the ...

A research group has made a material that can effectively separate heavy water from normal water at room temperature. Until now, this process has been very difficult and energy intensive. The findings ...

Radiation-proof hybrid materials developed at the University of Helsinki work reliably under radiochemical conditions, enabling cleaner separation of ...

The separation process can be conducted using various instruments, but the most fitting method depends on the mixture’s properties. This article covers the importance of solid-liquid separation in the ...

In nanoscale particle research, precise control and separation have long been a bottleneck in biotechnology. Researchers at the University of Oulu have now developed a new method that improves ...
