There are many steps in the metal-making process. As a industry with high levels of pollution, heat treaters and metal manufacturers receive both internal and external pressure to make changes for greener production. It’s not always easy financially, but what if Bill Gates were involved?
In today’s Best of the Web feature, watch or listen to how Boston Metal’s new technology, Molten Oxide Electrolysis, is “designed to replace several heavy metal processing steps with one that generates no hazardous waste.”
An excerpt:
[blockquote author=”Thomasnet.com” style=”1″]It is meant to reduce complexity as metal can be produced directly from a molten state versus extractive metallurgy, which requires much more energy. Ultimately, Boston Metal says that steel can be produced without CO2 entirely, and ferroalloys can be made without aluminum.[/blockquote]
