Process Engineering

This special field revolves around processes for modifying material properties (milling, cooling), composition (filtration, distillation) and type (oxidation, hydration).

Valuable information is available on a broad range of technologies including material separation, laser processes, measuring techniques and robot engineering in addition to testing methods and coating and materials analysis processes.

Calculations reveal shortcut to characterize zeolites

A computational method to quantify the adsorption of gas by porous zeolites should help labs know what to expect before they embark upon slow, costly…

Turning vapors into foam-like polymer coatings

Polymers that are porous are called foam polymers and are especially useful because they combine light weight with rigid mechanical properties. Now a…

Laying down a discerning membrane

The selectivity is based on molecular size, the team reported in the journal Science. Hydrogen and helium pass relatively easily through the membrane, but…

A new level for continuous-wave terahertz lasers

Since the first quantum cascade (QC) laser was demonstrated in 1994 and implemented in THz regime in 2002, they have become one of the most important solid…

Laser treatments yield smoother metal surfaces

Ever since the Bronze Age, metals have been cast in different shapes for different applications. Smooth surfaces that are resistant to corrosion are crucial…

Spinning CDs to Clean Sewage Water

Audio CDs, all the rage in the ‘90s, seem increasingly obsolete in a world of MP3 files and iPods, leaving many music lovers with the question of what to do…
