World’s First ‘Porous’ Liquid Can Filter Carbon Emissions !!
Week [16-22 November]
Researchers at Queen’s University Belfast in UK, along with colleagues at the University of Liverpool and other, international partners, invented the new liquid and found that it can dissolve unusually large amount of gas, which are absorbed into the ‘holes’ in the liquid.
The research could pave the way for many more efficient and greener chemical processes, including the procedure known as carbon capture – trapping carbon dioxide from major sources, for example a fossil-fuel power plant, and storing it to prevent its entry into the atmosphere.
