“The current population of slightly more than six billion consumes the resources (water) of one planet Earth. By about 2050, when the population is expected to reach about nine billion, and if ...

Membrane technology has emerged as a cornerstone in modern separation processes, addressing challenges from water purification and desalination to the selective separation of complex chemical mixtures ...

Filtration and chemical separation have played a crucial role throughout history, from purifying water with gravel and sand to sieving curds from whey and distilling spirits. Today, these processes ...

Demand for these membranes is also on the rise due to the lower maintenance and operational costs of this gas separation process. Stringent regulations related to greenhouse gas emissions and ...

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking one-step, crystal growth process for making ultra-thin layers of material with molecular-sized pores. Researchers demonstrated the use of the material, ...

Kamalesh Sirkar, PhD, distinguished professor of chemical engineering at NJIT, and internationally-renowned expert in membrane separation technologies will be the recipient of the NJIT Board of ...

Hydrogen is one of the most abundant elements on Earth and an exceptionally clean fuel source. While it is making its way into the fuel cells of electric cars, busses and heavy equipment, its ...

(Nanowerk News) Industry has long relied upon energy-intensive processes, such as distillation and crystallization, to separate molecules that ultimately serve as ingredients in medicine, chemicals ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a membrane that separates crude oil components by molecular size, potentially reducing the energy required for crude oil ...

It may seem counterintuitive, but one way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere may be to produce pure carbon dioxide in powerplants that burn fossil fuels. In this way, greenhouse ...
