Researchers use melamine to create effective, low-cost carbon capture; potential tailpipe application

Green Car Congress

UC Berkeley chemists created the first such carbon-capture MOF in 2015, and subsequent versions have proved even more efficient at removing carbon dioxide from flue gases, such as those from a coal-fired power plant. The low cost of porous melamine means that the material could be deployed widely.

Researchers use chemical looping process to produce hydrogen from hydrogen sulfide gas

Green Car Congress

Researchers at The Ohio State University have used a chemical looping process to produce hydrogen from hydrogen sulfide gas—commonly called “sewer gas”. Herein, we demonstrate a sulfur looping scheme in a one-reactor system using a low-cost and environmentally safe iron-based sulfur carrier. —Jangam et al.

WVU opens new research facility to extract valuable rare earth elements from acid mine drainage

Green Car Congress

West Virginia University (WVU) researchers are opening a new facility to capture rare earth elements (REEs) from acid mine drainage (AMD) from coal mining. China has been able to provide a low-cost supply of rare earths using these methods, and therefore, dominates the global market. —Paul Ziemkiewicz.
