Australian researchers develop new hybrid plasma electrocatalytic process to produce green ammonia

Green Car Congress

Chemical engineers at UNSW Sydney and University of Sydney have developed a hybrid plasma electrocatalytic process for the production of sustainable (“green”) ammonia. Dr Jalili and his colleagues devised proof-of-concept lab experiments that used plasma to convert air into NO x intermediaries: either NO 2 - (nitrite) or NO 3 - (nitrate).

SwRI develops device to test friction, wear associated with EV fluids

Green Car Congress

The team modified a commercial tribology testing device to give it the capability to evaluate the impact of electric currents in fluids, measuring the wear and friction on the automobile parts in the presence of an applied voltage. This small-scale bench test was built around a traditional universal testing machine.

LLNL-led team to use microorganisms to separate and purify rare-earth elements; biomining

Green Car Congress

To date, the chemical processes required to extract and purify REEs have been complex and harmful to the environment. By cultivating new and translating existing bioengineered REE-converting bacteria and proteins, we will deliver platform biotechnologies for REE separation and purification with high commercialization potential.
