Green Car Congress

Power plants that capture CO 2 today use an older technology whereby flue gases are bubbled through organic amines in water, where the carbon dioxide binds to amines. Because MOFs are solid, the process also saves the energy costs of heating the water in which amines are dissolved. —McDonald et al.

Big Science tools for clean transportation: neutron scattering at ORNL

Green Car Congress

Å, 152 – 1515 m/s) neutrons are preferred due to their favorable detection reactions and due to their very useful contrast behavior, note the scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland. Beam time is granted to researchers via the general user program. The adsorbed water allows detection by neutrons.
