UTEP Researchers Boost Microalgae Biofuel Yields with Nanotechnology
As global energy use continues to rise, the demand for renewable energy sources such as biofuels is also growing – especially in the transportation sector. Now, researchers at The University of Texas at El Paso have demonstrated how nanotechnology can significantly improve biofuel production from microalgae, offering a sustainable path forward
artimeltrepulpable – Paper recycling without adhesive residues
artimeltrepulpable is a hot melt adhesive solution that can be filtered out from paper pulp as a compact adhesive mass during the repulping process right at the start of recycling. The pulp is then suitable for the production of high-quality, visually flawless recycled paper
