Carbosands has developed a very simple technology for Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) from brines in the geothermal and oil and gas industries. The CARBOSANDS DLE concept: A granular sorbent is used for lithium adsorption. Desorption is achieved simply by using fresh water. The extraction units require very little infrastructure at the borehole. In the [...]
Two recent papers (June 2021) by groups in the USA have shown how a multi-beam electron microscope such as the MultiSEM from Zeiss, when combined with the automated ultramicrotome preparation of serial sections and powerful image segmentation algorithms can provide unprecedented data about how neurons in the brain connect to provide function – examples of [...]
