CO2 Utilization in Concrete using CO2-Loaded Aqueous Ionic Liquid
Utilizing captured CO2 in a process that yields valuable materials has consequently recently attracted much attention. One of the prime examples is the sequestration of CO2 by mineral carbonation and transformation into an industrially useful product.

Catalyst-aided CO2 Capture and Utilization in Cement-based Industry
As we look at minimizing the cost of CO2 capture process by removing the desorption unit and its ancillary equipment, there is also a need to pay attention to the size of the absorption column as it equally translates into cost. Smaller absorption columns result in minimal cost compared to bigger absorption columns.

What Happens when 1 + 1 doesn’t equal 2?
In our previous post, we looked at the physical aspect of the volume addition of two different solvents. In this post, we shall review the chemical aspect.

Did you know that 1 + 1 is not always 2?
When 250 mL of water is added to 250 mL of water or when 250 mL of alcohol is added to 250 mL of alcohol, the final volume will always be 500 mL, as expected. However, when the same water is added to an equal volume of alcohol, the final volume is about 10% less than the original volume of the two liquids. How?

A Novel Pre-Treatment Process for the Removal of SOx and NOx from Flue Gas
Among the most developed CO2 capture processes is the amine-based chemical absorption process. Nevertheless, implementing the amine-based chemical absorption technology in industrial processes such as fossil fuel power plants, cement production, iron, and steel industries face the challenge of accelerated solvent degradation in the presence of trace components of particulate matter (PM), O2, NOx, and SOx.
