The invention is needed to efficiently recover textile waste (TW) and transform it into valuable products such as nanocellulose crystals, cotton fibers, or cotton wool. This method addresses the growing need for sustainable solutions in the textile industry by utilizing innovative solvents that offer versatility and efficiency. The process is resource-efficient, eliminating the need for strong chemicals in post-treatment and minimizing environmental impact. Moreover, it contributes to the sustainable recovery and purification of cellulose, which plays a key role in various industries, including textiles, pharmaceuticals, food, and construction, reducing the environmental burden associated with traditional cellulose extraction methods.

  • Method for the production of periodically bent crystals

    This technology provides a method to create periodically bent crystals, designed for use in devices that generate electromagnetic radiation. Starting with a standard single crystal, the process involves treating specific areas of its top and bottom surfaces with a stressor...

  • Long-lived betavoltaic batteries with high power density and high efficiency

    Conventional chemical batteries suffer from significant limitations due to their limited energy storage capacity and rapid degradation over time. Betavoltaic batteries overcome these issues by directly converting the energy released through radioactive decay (beta particles) into electricity, providing a stable...

  • Redox battery safety system

    This patented multifunction device acts as a safety system and millibar controller of inert gas inside tanks, such as those used for redox flow batteries in large energy storage systems To ensure continuous and stable electrical output from renewable...
