and the recycled aluminum becomes part of a cycle that can occur over and over again without loss of the aluminum’s properties. Sodium aluminate forms through the chemical reaction of aluminum oxide ...

"We’re not just preventing waste." MIT engineers develop breakthrough technology that could change the way we process metal: ...

Copper atoms are larger than aluminum atoms. There are fewer copper atoms than aluminum atoms in the cubes. Copper atoms are much more massive than aluminum atoms. The extra mass makes copper more ...

A new nanofiltration process developed at MIT can curb the hazardous waste generated from aluminum production.

This study presents a nanofiltration method that efficiently recovers aluminum from cryolite waste, promoting sustainability ...

Engineers have developed a new, cost-effective way to create specially patterned aluminum surfaces that could revolutionize ...

An international team of engineers has developed an innovative, scalable method for creating topography-patterned aluminum ...
