The Future Potential of Zirconia in Green Chemistry. Zirconia and its doped variants have the power to revolutionize green catalysis, ushering in a more sustainable future. Their unique properties and versatility make them ideal catalysts for environmentally friendly chemical reactions. From the production of sustainable aviation fuels to biomass refineries, zirconia catalysts are already making a positive impact. To explore how zirconia can be integrated into your own processes, contact Luxfer MEL Technologies. Together, we can work towards creating a safe, clean and energy-efficient world. https://lnkd.in/eDYXk_d4 #luxfer #green #energy #chemistry #renewable #aviation #biomass #refinery

Reducing vehicle emissions is crucial as we tackle climate change. A standard car emits about 138 metric tons of CO2 over its lifetime. Did you know a 5% weight reduction can cut CO2 emissions by 4%? The use of Magnesium alloys offer a significant way to reduce emissions. Magnesium is 30% lighter than aluminum and 75% lighter than steel, improving speed, fuel efficiency, and reducing emissions. Luxfer MEL Technologies’ Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) of our RotaMag® magnesium alloy shows that a magnesium wheel emits 385 kg less CO2e than an aluminum wheel. This means a car with all magnesium wheels can save 948 kg of CO2e over its lifetime.

Magnesium: The Ultimate Lightweight Alternative. Discover why magnesium is the lightest commercially available structural metal and an ideal solution for weight-critical applications. It outperforms aluminium, titanium, steel, and carbon fibre in several key areas. Why Choose Magnesium? 🔥 High-temperature performance: Elektron® 21 and Elektron® 43 alloys excel in the 150°C to 350°C range. ✈️ Weight savings: Magnesium's density is just 66% of aluminium, offering significant reductions. 🔧 Machining compatibility: Use your existing aluminium machining tools with magnesium for efficient results. 🛡️ Corrosion resistance: Similar to aluminium, with additional surface treatments available for enhanced protection. Luxfer MEL Technologies offers a diverse range of magnesium alloys. Let's discuss how our materials can provide innovative solutions for your applications! https://lnkd.in/e__d46nT #Engineering #Magnesium #LightweightMaterials #Innovation #AdvancedMaterials
