The catalyst for the next US civil war?

January 21, 2024 -

(Article republished from ArmstrongEconomics.com)

Since the Biden Administration has adopted an open border policy, Texas has implemented a state law whereby they will arrest all illegal aliens entering their state. The federal government has done everything to prevent Texas from stopping the surge of migrants and neither side will cave. “The recent actions by the State of Texas have impeded operations of the Border Patrol. Those actions conflict with the authority and ...

Dual-function catalyst produces hydrogen fuel while cleaning up polluted water

March 21, 2021 - catalyst because titanium-based materials remove contaminants and at the same time generate hydrogen.

But titanium dioxide is not efficient at both tasks due to its overlapping reaction sites. To that end, the researchers coated nanoscale titanium dioxide crystals with a thin layer of cobalt dioxide to create separate places for reactions to occur.

The material failed to produce substantial amounts of hydrogen during the team's initial tests. So the researchers laced ...

Researcher discovers way to transform waste aluminum foil into biofuel catalyst

September 12, 2017 -

SMITH: Biden’s presidency will be a catalyst for secession – and perhaps civil war

January 22, 2021 -

(Article by Brandon Smith republished from Alt-Market.us)

Of course, conservatives are not going to simply sit still and be purged and abused, they are going to strike back, and this sets the stage for a number of events and outcomes, some of which are completely unpredictable, even for establishment globalists.

First, though, we need to address how Biden and the globalists are going to create chaos so that they can then demand their own brand of “order”.

The hyperdimensional physics model is one that will be explored in depth as a precursor to a CSZ event. Specific to this article, a prime catalyst ...

Trouble in the ranks: Environmentalists fight each other over creation of a catalyst for converting CO2 into plastic

March 19, 2019 - catalyst, carbon dioxide (CO2) can be transformed into other compounds.

While many different metals can be used to transform CO2 into something else, only copper can make CO2 into ethylene -- which is the primary material used in polyethylene plastics.

Phil De Luna, the study's lead author and Ph.D. student at University of Toronto, commented, "Copper is a bit of a magic metal."

"It's magic because it can make many different chemicals, like methane, ...

Breaking down water pollutants in water, naturally: Simple method uses vitamin C, green LED light and a catalyst

August 06, 2018 - catalyst and vitamin C. This method can be taught to undergrad students at a very early stage," Goez explained.

In conclusion, the findings of the study indicated that the approach developed by MLU scientists is simple and cost-effective.More on water pollution

Pollution in water occurs when toxic substances get into bodies of water (such as lakes, rivers, and oceans), being dissolved in them, lying suspended in the water, or depositing on the river beds and ...

From light to liquid fuel: Experts use sunlight and a copper-based catalyst to turn carbon dioxide into methanol

September 06, 2021 - catalyst to trigger the desired chemical reaction that will convert carbon dioxide into methanol. In past attempts, scientists used photocatalysts such as titanium oxide and produced a mixed bag of potentially toxic products, such as aldehydes and methane.

The researchers looked for another photocatalyst and stumbled upon cuprous oxide – a copper-based semiconductor in the form of a red powder that, when exposed to light, can produce electrons ...

Scientists are getting closer to creating artificial photosynthesis with new dual-atom catalyst which will help them harvest solar energy

February 19, 2020 -

The team used an iridium catalyst with two active metal centers to imitate the process by which plants generate oxygen. This development, according to the team, meant that the catalyst was a well-defined structure and can be used for further studies on solar fuel synthesis.

“Our research concerns the technology for direct solar energy storage. It addresses the critical challenge that solar energy is intermittent,” explains corresponding author Duwei ...

Researchers develop eco-friendly catalysts that can be used to produce renewable raw materials for plastic products

March 19, 2019 -

Most raw materials for plastics are products made from coal, natural gas, and petroleum. These fossilized sources are eventually going to run out. HMF, on the other hand, is synthesized from organic sugars found in plants. When it is oxidized, HMF becomes 5-furan dicarboxylic acid (FDCA). In turn, FDCA can be further converted into polyethylene furanoate, a very useful bio-polyester for making renewable plastic products.

A catalyst is a compound that assists oxidation ...

“Pantry” science: MIT researchers grow carbon nanotubes using common kitchen ingredients

March 06, 2020 -

Led by Richard Li, a graduate student in MIT’s Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the team created carbon nanotubes using household ingredients rich in sodium, such baking soda, table salt and detergent pellets. Additionally, the team did it without the use of high heat that is usually required for the process.
