A new water-treatment process is said to be the first to comprehensively destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) while also eliminating perchlorates. The PFASER technology, developed by WSP Global (Montreal, Que., Canada; www.wsp.com) is an advanced electro-oxidation (EO) treatment system…
By leveraging the peculiar laws of quantum physics, quantum computing aims to render currently intractable scientific problems feasible. Using quantum-enhanced simulations for accelerating catalyst design is an example of an area where quantum computers could be brought to bear on…
High-performance coatings are more than protective barriers. They provide an essential part of facility design, maintenance and operations. Selecting the right coatings presents an opportunity to align technical decision-making with strategic goals In manufacturing environments, facility integrity directly impacts product…
Chemical recycling refers to a set of technologies that convert plastic waste into raw materials by breaking down long polymer chains into shorter molecules (monomers), enabling the creation new chemicals, fuels or virgin-quality plastics. Key chemical recycling methods for plastics…
Battery performance tends to degrade over time due to the natural wear that occurs when, for example, cathode active materials (CAMs) expand and contract while shuttling ions for the reversible storage and release of electrical energy. CAMs also degrade due…
