Scientists at the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung, a centre for iron research, have shown how green steel can be manufactured from aluminium production waste in a relatively simple way. In an ...

An alternative approach is to reduce iron oxides directly with hydrogen. But most hydrogen is obtained by the reaction of methane with water, or by the electrolysis of water 3. Either way requires two ...

The metals that form the foundation of modern society also cause a number of problems. Separating the metals we want from other minerals is often energy-intensive and can leave behind large volumes of ...

University of Oregon chemists are bringing a greener way to make iron metal for steel production closer to reality, a step towards cleaning up an industry that’s one of the biggest contributors to ...

Scientists know iron oxide minerals store large amounts of carbon in soils, but lack a detailed, quantitative understanding of the specific chemical mechanisms that allow them to bind such a wide ...
