Biodiesel Wastewater Treatment: Harnessing Carbon and Recovering Valuable Compounds
Manufacturing biodiesel, a cleaner-burning alternative to petroleum diesel, produces CO2 and wastewater containing pollutants. A University of Michigan research team troubleshoots an energy-efficient electrochemical method to capture CO2 and valuable chemicals while treating wastewater.
