Controlling soot from fossil fuels and solid biofuels may be a faster method of reducing Arctic ice loss and global warming than other options, including controlling CH 4 or CO 2 , although all controls are needed, according to a new study by Dr. Mark Z. Jacobson at Stanford University. Mark Jacobson.

Chile is the world’s top copper producer (27% of global production) and exporter. Although copper is now readily recyclable, global demand is on the rise, thus calling for the continued mining of copper. Other project partners are also evaluating UV- and ozone-assisted as well as microbial oxidation processes.
