However, this process is severely hindered in acidic wastewater where excess protons (H +) impair the adsorption ability and damage the lattice structure of the adsorbent. In the study, the team used ...

The research team, hailing from Hunan University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, prepared an adsorbent by anchoring N⁺–C–H hydrogen bond donors in hydrophobic cavities. This was achieved ...

Clariant AG will move some of its adsorbent production to the US from Mexico to avoid President Donald Trump’s tariffs, Chief Executive Officer Conrad Keijzer said. The Swiss specialty chemicals ...

The researchers designed water-adsorbent “fins” by sandwiching a copper sheet between copper foams coated in a commercially available zeolite. Compared to previous studies that focused on material ...

After an explosion of investment into multiple direct extraction approaches, adsorbent resins are emerging as the winner in the race to reshape lithium production. In May, US Magnesium picked ...

A Korean research team has developed water treatment adsorbent that can selectively remove water-soluble micromolecules. It is also cheap, easily synthesized and renewable. Professor Cafer T.
