„Akademik Lomonossow“, Russlands erstes schwimmendes Atomkraftwerk auch für Meerwasserentsalzung … Professor Georgij Tichomirow vom nationalen Atomforschungsinstitut „Mifi“ ist begeistert. Wird die Arktis für die Schifffahrt und auch eine Ausbeutung der Rohstoffe zugänglich, könnte Pewek ein guter Stützpunkt werden. „Sollten in der Arktis Ölvorkommen entdeckt werden, ist es logisch, dass dort dann auch schwimmende Atomkraftwerke zum Einsatz kommen“, so der Professor. Die schwimmenden AKW sollen offensichtlich die Infrastruktur liefern, die für das Einrichten kleiner Trabantenorte im Polarkreis erforderlich ist. So sollen sie etwa Meerwasser entsalzen. … Das schwimmende AKW von Pewek soll als Prototyp aber auch zeigen, dass Russland schwimmende Atomkraftwerke bauen kann. Inzwischen haben Länder wie Malaysia, Südkorea, […] „Akademik Lomonossow“, Russlands erstes schwimmendes Atomkraftwerk auch für MeerwasserentsalzungDME GmbH2017-05-12T09:39:40+02:00
Membraneless water filtration using CO2 … show an alternative membraneless method for separating suspended particles by exposing the colloidal suspension to CO2. Dissolution of CO2 into the suspension creates solute gradients that drive phoretic motion of particles. Due to the large diffusion potential generated by the dissociation of carbonic acid, colloidal particles move either away from or towards the gas–liquid interface depending on their surface charge. Using the directed motion of particles induced by exposure to CO2, we demonstrate a scalable, continuous flow, membraneless particle filtration process that exhibits low energy consumption, three orders of magnitude lower than conventional microfiltration/ultrafiltration processes, and is essentially […] Membraneless water filtration using CO2DME GmbH2017-05-11T12:22:36+02:00
How Modern Water shares made a 500% profit in five weeks … Modern Water has spent more than £20 million over the past decade developing technologies that help supply fresh water and both treat and recycle waste water. A membranes division houses its Forward Osmosis (FO) platform for seawater desalination, while its monitoring business makes instruments to analyse and monitor contaminants in water, soil and food. Alongside final results in March we heard that nothing had changed with the Gibraltar contract, although „given the region’s current challenge following the Brexit vote, uncertainty remains over potential timescales“. …(LINK) How Modern Water shares made a 500% profit in five weeksDME GmbH2017-05-10T19:19:37+02:00
Morocco Considers Nuclear Power in Future Energy Mix …. “Morocco’s national energy strategy is considering nuclear power as a long-term alternative to meet the country’s future needs, but no decision has been made so far,” said Khalid El Mediouri, Director General of the National Centre for Nuclear Energy, Sciences and Technology Techniques (CNESTEN) and Chair of the Nuclear Power and Seawater Desalination Committee (CRED), set up in 2009 by the Ministry of Energy, Mines, Water and Environment. “For this purpose, we undertook a global evaluation of these conditions alongside the infrastructure required for a nuclear power project compliant with international standards.” (LINK) Morocco Considers Nuclear Power in Future Energy MixDME GmbH2017-05-10T18:54:36+02:00
