A new electron-curing system has demonstrated a high-speed, solvent-free production process for powerful battery electrodes at industrial scale. The production process, operated by Kodak Co. (Rochester, N.Y.; www.kodak.com) using the RaiCure™ platform developed by Ateios Systems Inc. (Newberry, Ind.; www.ateios.com),…
Following regulations for drinking water, increasingly stringent limits for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in industrial wastewater are anticipated, necessitating improved technology to handle higher rates of removal, as well as to destroy the compounds in concentrated samples. Gradiant (Boston,…
Understanding the forces acting on agitator impeller blades during turbulent flow in a mixing vessel is essential for successful and efficient operation. Presented here is information on the hydraulic force, its source, and how to calculate it Mechanically agitated vessels…
A hazardous-materials storage system with climate control The WHS hazardous-material storage system (photo) features intelligent air conditioning to combat extreme weather, and to allow storage of substances that must be stored under precise temperature conditions. The integrated heating and cooling…
Decarbonizing industrial process heat is challenging. Heat pumps offer a path to convert previously unused waste heat into low-carbon steam Industrial operations are notoriously difficult to decarbonize, but a project currently underway in Germany illustrates that there are viable pathways…
As the hydrogen economy matures and production scales up, critical equipment like valves must evolve to ensure safe and optimized handling and transport According to the Energy Transition Council, the overall share of fossil fuels is expected to decrease significantly…
Selecting the right technology to ensure accurate and reliable level measurement can help solve the unique challenges posed by storing and processing solid materials Advanced measurement solutions are helping to enhance process control, operational efficiency and safety throughout the chemical…
Carbon-fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) are used in a broad range of products, including automotive parts, construction materials and many others. Economically recycling these materials has proven challenging due to their multi-material makeup. Typically, they are chopped into pellets or strips…
Drying can be defined as the vaporization and removal of liquids from a solution, suspension or other solid-liquid mixture to form a dry solid. Drying occurs as a result of the vaporization of liquid by supplying heat to wet solid…
In lithium processing, advanced mixing technologies — applied across the crystallization, carbonization and decomposition steps — can serve as critical enablers in meeting efficiency, scalability and sustainability demands Lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) is a key raw material in the production of…
