We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "CO2",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Processingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Greener extraction of nature's whitest mineral from
University of Leeds, which we summarised at the time by saying "A new process for refining titanium dioxide mineral ores produces less waste products, and gives an average yield of up to 97% TiO2, compared with the current industry average of
85%".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Measuring CO2 in ice in Antartic conditions from
Litre Meter: "A leading US scientist has chosen the rugged Sierra Instruments Smart-Trak 100 mass flow controller as part of his polar test equipment on CO2 absorption".
In January 2008, we covered the news from GE Oil and Gas
concerning its ICL compressors
- take a look at Reduced environmental impact of ICL compressors
which says: "Integrated motor compressor (ICL) technology developed by GE Oil and Gas is designed to help compression plant operators meet growing operational and environmental challenges".
Take a look also at the news release from Tetra Pak, Tetra Pak calls for concerted action on CO2,
as well as Witt Gas Techniques returns to Foodex-Meatex 2008 from Witt Gas Techniques,
and AK expands CO2 capturing business from Aker Kvaerner Engineering Services.
