Advances gilsonite based filter to sequester greenhouse gas at wellhead Researchers advance asphalt-based filter to sequester greenhouse gas at wellhead (Nanowerk News) Rice University scientists have found a way to make their asphalt-based sorbents better at capturing carbon dioxide from gas wells: Just add water. The Rice lab of chemist James Tour discovered that treating […]
Gilsonite in self heating asphalt repair system Cracks in asphalt are a common sight, but a pain to repair. It is expensive and because the roads need to be closed down for construction, traffic jams occur. Researchers at polymer institute of research and development in Turkey are working on a solution by creating pothole proof, […]
Gilsonite exported in high quantity since 2013 Due increase of crude price and then bitumen price Chinese started to buy Gilsonite from Iran again in high volume.Normally they are buying in raw form and pulverizing in very fine particle size to save some cost and control the quality. On September and October compare other months since 2013 till […]
Bitumen project in Africa Bitumen project moving slowly due economic issue and rainy season in Africa.The pressure on road paving is increasing for a variety of reasons including climate change and rising average ambient air temperatures. Roads are not designed to withstand this, leading to early-life surface rutting and deformation that has to be repaired more […]
Gilsonite used in lithium base batteries and duration of charge decreased to just 5 minutes The Rice lab of chemist James Tour developed anodes comprising porous carbon made from gilsonite that showed exceptional stability after more than 500 charge-discharge cycles. A high-current density of 20 milliamps per square centimeter demonstrated the material’s promise for use in rapid […]
