Low Temperature Liquid Metal Could Save 90% of Chemical Industry Energy
by Brian Wang from NextBigFuture.com on (#6GWHP)
Chemical production using solid processes is energy intensive and causes over 10% of greenhouse emissions by requiring temperatures of up to a thousand degrees centigrade. A new process instead uses liquid metals, in this case dissolving tin and nickel which gives them unique mobility, enabling them to migrate to the surface of liquid metals and ...
