+-   SPAM: Plastic to help water and gas industries on Monday October 15 2007, @11:37AM Roland Piquepaille

Roland Piquepaille writes "Researchers have lots of imagination. After developing plastic as solid as steel, other scientists from in Australia, Korea and in the U.S. have created a plastic which could cut CO2 emissions and purify water. Their new material mimics pores found in plants and is exceptionally efficient. As said one of the lead researchers, "it can separate carbon dioxide from natural gas a few hundred times faster than current plastic membranes and its performance is four times better in terms of purity of the separated gas." Now it remains to be seen if commercial companies are interested, either for water desalination or for natural gas processing plants. Read more for additional details and pictures showing how the pores in this new material allow some chemical elements to pass through while rejecting other substances."
