Red mud residue is an industrial waste product generated during the processing of bauxite ore to extract alumina for the steelmaking industry. Red mud is rich in minerals in bauxite like iron and aluminum oxide, but also heavy metals, including arsenic and mercury.
Method for separating bulky solids from powders in an automated fashion. Powders are particularly challenging to work with in an automated workflow employing robots for chemical manipulation.
Standard stages for X-ray diffraction are designed to carry holders that are relatively large. This imposes a significant space constraint that can reduce the number of samples analyzed.
2,3-butanediol (BDO) is a chemical compound with many industrial uses, including as a biofuel precursor and an additive to aviation fuel. 2,3-BDO can be produced from biomass, making it a more sustainable fuel source, but it must be separated and purified before utilization.
In additive printing that utilizes multiple robotic agents to build, each agent, or “arm”, is currently limited to a prescribed path determined by the user.
This invention discusses the methodology to calibrating a multi-robot system with an arbitrary number of agents to obtain single coordinate frame with high accuracy.
Demand for lithium is expected to increase drastically due to the use of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries used in portable electronics and electric vehicles. An efficient method to extract lithium is necessary to help meet this demand.
