Stanford researchers want to reduce climate change by converting methane to CO2 into the atmosphere
In Nature Sustainability, Jackson explained that, in theory, a sort of large, complex fan could be used to filter out methane from the air in the atmosphere.This methane would then be converted into carbon dioxide in a chemical process involving heat and microporous zeolites.
Methane removal and atmospheric restoration
Zeolites and other technologies should be evaluated and pursued for reducing methane concentrations in the atmosphere from 1,860 ppb to preindustrial levels of ~750 ppb. Such a goal of atmospheric restoration provides a positive framework for change at a time when climate action is desperately needed.
China claims to have 'cracked' low cost production of lithium, political implications could be huge
In an article from May 14, the SCMP reports on an effort by the Chinese government to more easily separate lithium from other metals that are found in the same brines where it is produced. Currently, sorting lithium salts away from salts formed by magnesium requires multiple steps as the compounds are both physically similar and hard to separate with common chemical processes.
China cracks cheap lithium production in electric car breakthrough
South China Morning Post 05/14/2019
The cost of extracting the mineral has been slashed to a “record low” of 15,000 yuan (US$2,180) per tonne by the new process, a Chinese government report said. That compares to an international price for lithium ranging from US$12,000 to US$20,000 per tonne – and a long-term contract price of about US$17,000 – over the past year, according to some industrial estimates.
