Newcastle University researchers in the UK have made a significant breakthrough in reducing greenhouse gas emissions through an innovative and energy-efficient technology. This new method transforms carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) emissions into a cyclic carbonate compound, offering a promising solution for carbon capture and utilization.
According to a report from the American Daily Science website, a team led by Professor Michael North, an expert in organic chemistry, has estimated that this technology could process up to 48 million tons of COâ‚‚ annually. If implemented, it could cut the UK's carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 4 percent, making a meaningful contribution to global climate goals.
The process involves using a catalyst to chemically react carbon dioxide with epoxide, converting harmful COâ‚‚ emissions into a valuable cyclic carbonate. However, traditional methods require high temperatures and pressures, along with ultra-pure COâ‚‚, which makes the process expensive and less practical on a large scale.
North’s research group has developed a highly efficient catalyst derived from aluminum, which enables the reaction to occur under normal temperature and pressure conditions. This breakthrough eliminates the need for extreme conditions and costly purification steps, making the technology more accessible and scalable.
This advancement not only reduces the environmental impact of industrial emissions but also opens up new possibilities for utilizing COâ‚‚ as a raw material in chemical production. The potential for commercialization is strong, and the research represents a major step forward in the fight against climate change.
Clean Room Cranes
The ordinary Overhead Crane cannot satisfy the requirements on cleanliness of the special workshop in high precision electronics industry,food industry,aviation industry and other industries due to the production of a large number of tiny particles in operation. Eurocrane has developed Clean Room Crane that suitable for clean space environment.Class
100 has been put into use currently and have the design capability for class 10
or even much higher.Fully
sealed design, special surface treatment and special anti-static coating not
only can effectively prevent it from producing pollution particles, but also
can prevent adsorbing external pollution particles.All other components are all well designed to satisfy the high
class of cleanliness
