Researchers at IIT Madras said they have developed a green and sustainable method to recover valuable metals, including ...

Lignin can now be efficiently and cost-effectively separated from sawdust, by using eutectic solvents. A research group has developed solvents using which 50% of the lignin from wood can be extracted ...

Typical metallurgical extraction routes require high energy investments to process metals from constituent ores. Others, such as cyanidation of gold ore, are perceived negatively by the public due to ...

Sucrose and citric acid are common ingredients in a cup of tea. But as a NADES (Natural deep eutectic solvents) compound these substances in combination can kill bacteria as effectively as if they ...

TPU researchers have learned how to regulate the swelling and erosion properties of antibacterial gels based on deep eutectic ...

Researchers have developed a breakthrough method to recover high-purity nickel, cobalt, manganese and lithium from spent ...

Deep eutectic solvents used as the medium of sensitizer and emitter chromophores (left) and the photon upconverter developed (right). The sample converts low-intensity (a few mW) green light into ...
