The process consists of two continuous stages carried out under inert, vacuum conditions.

In the first stage, cold feedstock is fed into a preheating vacuum oven for ex-situ desulphurization. It is heated to a controlled temperature for a set time to break sulphur–sulphur and sulphur–carbon bonds...

A method has been developed by which cannabinoids are extracted from a waste wax that is formed during conventional extraction of cannabinoids from Cannabis plants. During medicinal cannabinoid extraction process, cannabinoids are extracted from the plant material into an alcohol phase, which can be...

This technology utilises the unique properties of a specific type of biosurfactant to selectively recover metals from solution. Using comparatively low concentrations of biosurfactant, the metals can be recovered (and potentially valorised), and the surfactant can even be recycled back for further...

The DarkLight™ Catalyst is an advanced, biosynthesised titanium dioxide (TiO₂) photocatalyst that functions efficiently without the need for visible or ultraviolet light. Developed through a green synthesis process using natural extracts from Hibiscus sabdariffa, the material features an oxygen...

AquaCarbon™ introduces a high-performance membrane technology designed for membrane distillation desalination. The innovation integrates multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) into polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes to create a robust, highly hydrophobic, and porous structure capable of...

The invention uses maghemite nanoparticles at pH levels below 5 to remove sulphate, manganese, copper, nickel, cobalt, and zinc ions from acid mine drainage (AMD). In traditional AMD treatment methods, these contaminants are usually removed only at higher pH levels, which requires expensive alkaline...

This technology offers an innovative and eco-friendly method for producing ferric chloride (FeCl₃), a commonly used coagulant in water purification, by recovering Fe(III) from acid mine drainage (AMD). AMD is a significant pollutant generated by mining activities and typically contains high levels...
