Georgia Tech Research Horizons discusses Dr. Sholl and Dr. Lively's new commentary in Nature regarding chemical separations

In a comment article published April 26 in the journal Nature, two researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology suggest seven energy-intensive separation processes they believe should be the top targets for research into low-energy purification technologies. Beyond cutting energy use, improved techniques for separating chemicals from mixtures would also reduce pollution, cut carbon dioxide emissions – and open up new ways to obtain critical resources the world needs. Read the full news article here and the Nature article here

ACS Central Science interviews Dr. Lively & Dr. Jones regarding CO2 capture and sequestration

At Saskatchewan’s Boundary Dam power plant, not far from the U.S. border with North Dakota, one of its generating units burns some 800,000 tons of coal each year to provide about 139 MW of electricity to businesses and homes in the region. But since late 2014, the carbon dioxide produced by that burning has had a new fate: Instead of flitting up... Read the full article here
