What if sodium sulfate could become a resource instead of a waste stream? Many industrial processes generate sodium sulfate-containing streams that require further handling, whether through disposal, landfill, or low-value sales. Bipolar Membrane Electrodialysis (BPED) offers a different approach by…
In fermentation, biochemical, and pharmaceutical processes, organic acids are often recovered or neutralized as sodium salts. Converting these salts back into free organic acids traditionally requires external acids, which can introduce additional salts and increase downstream treatment requirements. Bipolar Membrane…
Why Does the Cement Industry Need Carbon Capture? The cement industry is one of the world’s largest industrial sources of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions. While improving energy efficiency, increasing the use of alternative fuels, and reducing clinker content can help…
As global demand for lithium-ion batteries continues to grow, efficient recovery of lithium from end-of-life batteries has become a critical challenge for the battery recycling industry. Traditional lithium recovery routes often involve high chemical consumption, multiple processing steps, and the…
In 2026, China officially released the Solid Waste Comprehensive Management Action Plan (commonly referred to as the “Solid Waste Ten Measures”). As a top-level policy framework for solid waste governance during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, it sends a clear…
From 2026 onward, China’s “15th Five-Year Plan” enters full implementation, marking a shift in industrial green transition from policy orientation to execution-driven practice. Recently, an article published in Qiushi Journal by Zheng Shanjie, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and…
In continuous industrial processes such as refining, natural gas treatment, and acid gas removal, organic amines are widely used to absorb carbon dioxide and other acidic gases. Maintaining amine solution performance requires effective management of byproducts, particularly Heat Stable Salts…
For many industrial water systems, scaling and fouling remain persistent challenges—especially when treating high-hardness or complex feedwater. Conventional membrane processes often require intensive pretreatment and frequent cleaning. Electrodialysis Reversal (EDR) offers a different approach. By periodically reversing electrode polarity, EDR…
As the EU accelerates its climate agenda under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), carbon emissions are no longer just an environmental concern—they are becoming a direct cost factor in international trade. What is CBAM—and why it matters CBAM is…
What if the key to low-cost carbon capture isn’t heat—but electrons? Most CCUS processes rely on high-temperature steam to release CO₂ from capture agents. But a new wave of technology is flipping the script: electrochemical CO₂ release powered by renewable…
