Lygos produces high-value specialty chemical traditionally produced in oil-based petrochemical processes in a process that uses commercially proven, acid-tolerant yeast and domestic sugars instead of petroleum, and has pioneered the world’s first bio-based production of malonic acid (a C 3 -dicarboxylic acid). Earlier post.).

The process produces a toxic byproduct referred to as black liquor—a primarily liquid mixture of pulping residues (such as lignin and hemicellulose) and inorganic chemicals from the Kraft process (sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide, for example). tons of black liquor dry solids. —Löfstedt et al.

Researchers from George Washington University and Vanderbilt University have demonstrated the conversion of atmospheric CO 2 into carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for use as high-performance anodes in both lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. times above that of sodium-ion batteries with graphite electrodes.

In this context, we … compare the driving range of electric vehicles from a full recharge and note that the driving miles per recharge time (min) for commercially viable battery technology is ~0.1–0.4 The driving miles per recharge time (min) for commercially viable battery technology is ~0.1–0.4 Herya and Sundaresan (2016).

Liquid sodium is used as a coolant because it does not slow down neutrons as much as water does. Japan also developed a fast breeder power reactor, one that proved to be a costly mistake, prompting a decision in 2016 to decommission it. Weapons-grade plutonium can be separated chemically from the blanket.

Graphite is the most advanced commercially available anode material, due mainly to its relatively high energy density, good reversibility, non-toxicity, safety and low cost. Owing to their complex construction, commercial batteries will not be able to fully replicate these results, the researchers noted. —Claire Villevieille.

The team then used ultrasonic irradiation to facilitate the reaction between dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution and an aqueous sulfur precursor of sodium thiosulfate (Na 2 S 2 O 3 ) in the presence of CCs to yield a composite of CC particles with pure nano-size sulfur (CCs/S composite) and a water soluble by-product of sodium chloride (NaCl).
