Using adsorbents to help society

Futurum

Firstly, since sorbents can separate molecules from each other, finding new sorbents that can do this as efficiently as possible will reduce the energy needed for each separation. For adsorption to help with healthcare and environmental issues, scientists need to develop new adsorbent materials that are more energy efficient.

How are control engineers improving the sustainability of irrigated agriculture?

Futurum

“Control engineering is a discipline that has very wide applicability,” says Iven. It is essential in all modern industrial settings, playing a critical role in improving the energy and resource efficiency of processes. While this project is reducing water waste, control engineering can also increase sustainability in other contexts.
