🌟 Exciting Research Alert! 🌟 Introducing an advanced method to synthesize #carbon #nanodots from beer bagasse, a sustainable by-product of the beer industry. This innovative technique, employing various characterization methods including the EMA502 CNHS-O Elemental Analyzer, has resulted in highly sensitive fluorimetric and electrochemical probes. These probes can detect trace amounts of Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺ in water, offering significant benefits for environmental and public health monitoring. 🔍 Key Highlights: • Sustainable carbon nanodot synthesis from beer bagasse • Advanced characterization using the EMA502 CNHS-O Elemental Analyzer • High sensitivity in detecting heavy metals (Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺) in water Grateful acknowledgment to Professor Claudia Espro and Doctor Viviana Bressi, and the Università degli Studi di Messina for their crucial contributions to this research.

Prof. Manuel Porcar, from Darwin Bioprospecting Excellence and the University of Valencia talked about the importance of microbiomes for the industry during the session 5 focused on “Microbiomes preservation and exploitation”.

Microorganisms have different strategies to cope with saline environments and these impact how carboxylates are produced in a fermentation. In this just published paper, which is part of the CONSERVAL Poctep project, we show that the VFA produced change with the salt concentration.

Recently, we used the membrane process for a different purpose. As you know, tannin is one of the undesirable components in gums. We tried to use Microfiltration and Ultrafiltration processes to remove tannin in Persian gum solution. This was done in the thesis of Mrs. Anahita Akbarzadeh. The following article, published in the Journal of Food Science and Technology, shows the results of this research.

🌐 Exciting Announcement! Astatine's CEO, Tom Marren, is set to speak at the High-Temperature Heat Pump Symposium in Copenhagen on January 24th. Tom's presentation will delve into the topic of implementation of High Temperature Heat Pumps within the Distillery and Dairy Sector, showcasing their potential to revolutionise the industry. Tom will be joined by a distinguished lineup of speakers, including Jan Rosenow, Niels Fuglsang, and other industry experts, who will also shed light on the latest advancements in the field. We anticipate an enriching two-day experience, brimming with excitement and invaluable insights shared by experts from around the globe in the Heat Pump Sector. In a recent statement, Tom emphasized the urgency of adopting these technologies, stating, "There's a level of urgency; people need to take this on board. If we can do it now, let's do it now. Let's not wait for 5 years." Tom looks forward to sharing insights and leanings at this highly relevant symposium. #HTHPSymposium2024 #CarbonEmissionReduction #IndustryLeadership 🌍🔗

The next speaker we want to introduce is Dr. Raoul Meys. As managing director and co-founder of Carbon Minds, Meys focuses on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and carbon footprint analysis to evaluate and minimize the environmental impacts of chemical products and processes. He integrates sustainability into chemical engineering and promotes circular economy principles, aiming to reduce plastic production impacts and implement sustainable practices. His research contributions are widely published and reflect his dedication to advancing sustainable development in the chemical sector. We look forward to his talk on “Achieving net-zero chemicals and plastics with circular technologies - The role of electrochemistry.”
