These components have a high affinity for water, which affects the chemical reactivity of the crystals.

Key Points: 
  • These components have a high affinity for water, which affects the chemical reactivity of the crystals.
  • Now, a research team led by Keisuke Miyazawa from the NanoLSI at Kanazawa University has developed three-dimensional (3D) microscopy technique for a detailed study of the interaction of the surfaces of these materials with water.
  • The team started by looking at the surface structures and its hydration structures of sapphire and α-quartz in water.
  • Oxide crystals usually have hydroxyl (OH) groups, which are the main "water-binding" molecules, closely linked with the oxides.

LONDON, July 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Global energy and commodity price reporting agency Argus has launched a series of cost indexes that bring transparency to the process of creating "green steel" in Europe.

Key Points: 
  • LONDON, July 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Global energy and commodity price reporting agency Argus has launched a series of cost indexes that bring transparency to the process of creating "green steel" in Europe.
  • Steel, a common alloy of iron, is an indispensable foundation of modern life — yet the sector accounts for 8% of global carbon emissions.
  • The new Argus Green DRI indexes show the theoretical cost of this process in northern Europe, drawing on Argus assessments of the price of iron ore, energy and hydrogen production costs in the region.
  • This iron ore price will be calculated daily from existing Argus iron ore and freight assessments and launched alongside the DRI costs.
