Scientists Turn Major Crude Oil Problem Into an Unexpected Energy Breakthrough
Illustration of Synthetic Membrane Separating Crude OilA simple membrane uses crude oil’s own deposits to separate lighter components at room temperature, with simulations suggesting nearly one-third less energy use when paired with distillation. Refineries heat crude oil above 350°C (662°F) to separate a mixture that supplies transportation fuels and raw materials for plastics, packaging, textiles, and other consumer products. This century-old [...]
