Coal and black liquor can produce energy from papermaking
Adding a little coal and processing the papermaking industry's black liquor waste into synthesis gas is a better choice than burning it for heat, improves the carbon footprint of coal-to-liquid processes, and can produce a fuel versatile enough to run a cooking stove or a truck, according to a team of Penn state engineers. view more (2007-08-21)

Sprats With Polonium
There are many radioactive elements in the world. For example, natural element polonium has 33 radioactive isotopes. Fortunately, only one isotope, 210Po, has a relatively long (138.4 days) half-life period. This isotope appears in the atmosphere as a result of radon decay, sinks to oceans and seas, and accumulates in organs of some animals, in... view more... (2002-07-19)
