A research team in the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a novel ammonium ...

A Korean research team has developed water treatment adsorbent that can selectively remove water-soluble micromolecules. It is also cheap, easily synthesized and renewable. Professor Cafer T. Yavuz ...

What if we could design a material that acts like a molecular “sniper,” zeroing in on a single harmful antibiotic in ...

In South Africa, manufacturers of pineapple juice and other pineapple products discard thousands of tons of pineapple leaves every year, with most ending up in dumpsites. The leaves are seen as ...

Material chemists have developed a superporous solid made up of a patchwork of metal ions and organic linkers (a metal-organic framework, or MOF) that can suck up to 200 percent of its own weight in ...

Porous polymer particles with multilevel structures consisting of submicron-sized hollow cavities and interconnected mesopores within the crosslinked shell were designed and prepared. An extremely ...

Adsorbents play a critical role in water treatment, yet their production often involves high energy use and carbon emissions. This study proposes a ...

Companies developing technologies to chemically extract lithium directly from brine promise to obtain the battery raw material in a way that has less environmental impact than the large evaporation ...

Japan’s industrial landscape continues to evolve as manufacturers — both established and emerging — harness the unique ...

Adsorption is a phenomenon in which molecules or ions from a fluid phase (gas or liquid) are attracted and retained on the surface of a solid phase (adsorbent). Adsorption is different from absorption ...

Applications of adsorption of small drug particles at the surface of large excipients were introduced, and different factors affecting adsorption process were discussed and summarized. Several ...
