Extracting lithium electrochemically from seawater has the potential to resolve any future lithium shortage. However, electrochemical extraction only functions efficiently in high lithium concentration solutions. Herein, we discovered that lithium extraction is temperature and concentration...

Textile manufacturing discharges plenty of wastewater that contains large amounts of thermal energy. In particular, the textile dyeing process consists of several and complex processes, and each process has a different operating time, temperature, and water usage. A large amount of energy is...

Black TiO2 nanotube arrays (black TNAs) suffer from the low activity and deactivation for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation, which limit their application in the oxidative destruction of organic pollutants in water. Here, we report an efficient, environmentally benign, and cost-effective method...

The black liquor is valuable biomass that can be recycled as renewable energy in the form of CO2 -neutral fuels. However, the combustion of biomass results in a large amount of ash deposits reducing heat transfer efficiency. Therefore, all recovery boilers have an ash deposit removal system...
