Very low backgroud detectors are required to identify rare events, including solar neutrinos, searches for dark matter, double beta decay events, and searches for proton decay. Liquid scintillation ...

The Vapor Compression Distillation Flight Experiment (VCD-FE) was an International Space Station (ISS) Risk Mitigation Experiment launched within the SPACEHAB module aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia ...

While the solar cell harvests sunlight for electricity, heat from the solar panel drives evaporation in the water distiller below. That vapor wafts through a porous polystyrene membrane that filters ...

While it holds promise, membrane distillation doesn't work perfectly. A key challenge is designing membranes to purify water efficiently while ensuring zero contamination of the clean water. In new ...

Distillation is one of the oldest methods of water treatment and is still in use today, though not commonly as a home treatment method. It can effectively remove many contaminants from drinking water, ...

IN many experiments using tritium as a tracer it is necessary to prepare a sample of pure water from organic material. During measurements of total body water using tritiated water in a dilution ...

One of the primary techniques for separating the constituent parts of a solution based on their differing thermodynamic properties is short-path distillation. This process involves the selective ...

Nigerian students, Ayomide Obikoya and Kehinde Ajasa were just teenagers when they designed an experiment that got the attention of the organizers of the Stockholm Junior Water Prize. The teenagers, ...

A study has shown that steamflooding distillation effects would improve crude recovery from thin reservoirs with less viscous crude. Steam distillation means that steam injection will cause some ...
