A new breakthrough from researchers at the Fraunhofer institute offers a sustainable alternative using cyanobacteria. Concrete production is a major contributor to global carbon emissions, accounting for 8% of the world's total. This bio-cement mimics a natural process over 3 billion years old, creating a material that is not only carbon neutral but carbon negative. By optimizing the growth of cyanobacteria and adding calcium sources, hydrogels, and fillers, the process mineralizes carbon dioxide into the structure, effectively sequestering it. This innovative approach could revolutionize construction, providing a greener option without compromising on performance. #Sustainability #GreenBuilding #BioCement #ConcreteInnovation #CarbonNeutral #EnvironmentalScience #ConstructionRevolution

Double win for water remediation! My second research article published! I'm excited to announce the publication of my second research article in Materials Today Sustainability this month! This work focuses on developing a novel solution for tackling multiple water pollution challenges simultaneously. We successfully fabricated fluorine-free hydrophobic sponges based on graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN). These innovative sponges hold promise for: Microplastic Mitigation: Efficient removal of microplastic particles from water. Oil Spill Cleanup: Exceptional oil/water separation capabilities. Antimicrobial Properties: Inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria. This research presents a significant advancement in water remediation technologies by offering a single solution for multiple water pollutants. Key Highlights: Simple and scalable fabrication method for the g-CN sponges. Tunable porosity and hydrophobicity for targeted applications. Near-complete removal of microplastics from water. Excellent oil/water separation efficiency. Effective inhibition of E. coli and S. aureus growth.

Second Post of our SDG series - follow us to see the following ones!
🌍 Zero Hunger: Innovations for a Sustainable Future 🌱 In the global quest to achieve zero hunger, innovative solutions are paving the way for a more sustainable and efficient agricultural sector. We are proud to share with you some of the groundbreaking advances being made using Retsch ball mills in mechanochemistry, for example, to modify materials or produce entirely new materials. In the MiniReview "Meeting the UN Sustainable Development Goals with Mechanochemistry" (see link below!), the team from the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) has summarised how mechanochemistry can be used to address the various goals. 🔬 More Efficient and Less Toxic Fertilizers: Traditional fertilizers are being replaced with more efficient and less toxic alternatives, reducing environmental impact. ⚗️ Haber-Bosch Process: This process, which produces ammonia, accounts for 1% of total energy consumption and 1.4% of CO2 emissions globally. It requires 400-500°C and 100-200 atm. However, with mechanochemistry, this can be done at room temperature or 45°C, at 1 bar, using 8.5 times less energy. 🌾 Urea CoCrystals by mechanochemistry: These offer higher nitrogen use efficiency and lower environmental impact, with more controlled release than pure urea. 🍃 Mechanochemical Assisted Extraction (MAE): This method improves nutrient extraction from food, such as antioxidants or essential oils from plants. It reduces solvent use, lowers energy consumption, and increases extraction efficiency, as ground particles can be extracted better. Valuable substances are converted into water-soluble salts, requiring only water for extraction, thus environmental critical solvents can be avoided. 📦 Better Food Packaging Materials: Innovations in food packaging include biodegradable materials suitable for composting, such as nanocellulose, which offers higher thermal stability. Take a look at the Mini review from the team from the Institute Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung: Jasna Alić Stolar, Dr. Dr. Moritz-Caspar Schlegel, Franziska Emmerling, Tomislav Stolar for more details 👉 https://lnkd.in/deBQbCJK Together, these advances are moving us towards a future where zero hunger is not just a goal, but a reality.
