In the last two decades, the application of microwave heating to the processing of materials has to become increasingly widespread. Microwave-assisted foaming processes show promise for industrial commercialization due to the potential advantages tha... Read More about Microwave Foaming of Materials: An Emerging Field.

Evaluating the purification and activation of metal-organic frameworks from a technical and circular economy perspective (2020)
Journal Article
Woodliffe, J. L., Ferrari, R. S., Ahmed, I., & Laybourn, A. (2020). Evaluating the purification and activation of metal-organic frameworks from a technical and circular economy perspective. Coordination Chemistry Reviews, 428, Article 213578. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccr.2020.213578

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are highly porous materials consisting of metal ions or clusters linked by organic molecules. The high value of MOFs arises from the amount of empty space within their structure (up to 90%) and their tuneable structure...

Bioleaching (or microbial leaching) is a biohydrometallurgical technology that can be applied for metal recovery from anthropogenic waste streams. In particular, fly ashes and bottom ashes of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) can be used as a...
