Application and design requirements.
Scrubber components:
- multi-section scrubber frame;
- irrigation system with centered tangential jets (replaceable);
- with sludge regulative float device;
- emergency water supply system
Contaminated gas is fed by inclined gas flue to the bottom of the scrubber and rises up the frame. On the top of the scrubber there are 3 irrigation tiers, which consist of centrifugal jets. Lime-water suspension (CaCO3), that is under pressure, is spraying. Drops of aqueous solution CaCO3, are falling due to gravity towards contaminated gas. Water drops capture dust articles happens due to inertial and diffusion mechanism, hydrodynamic and electrostatic forces and turbulent diffusion. Gas cleaning from sulfur oxides is based on absorption technology. After contact of lime-water suspension with gas, reaction takes place:
Control system and automatics for the scrubber
СаСО3 + SО2 + ½ Н2О = СаSО3·1/2Н2О + СО2
Oxygen, which is in the products of combustion, oxidizes the calcium sulfate in neutral sulphate (gypsum):
СаSO3 ·1/2H2O +1/2O2 = CaSO4·2H2O
Exhaust aqueous solution with gypsum and captured dust is accumulated in the bottom of the scrubber. Peeled gas is fed by gas flues, which are located on the top of the device. For pulling of the sludge there is a special device, which consists of float camera and throttle control, that supports a given level of sludge in the hopper.
Scrubber frame is designed for organization of gas flows and water drops. Irrigation system is designed for supplying and spraying of the water in the scrubber frame. Drainage sludge mechanism is designed for automatic removal of sludge from scrubber frame. Emergency water supply system is designed for stopping of water supplying if it is impossible to remove sludge from scrubber frame.

MXenes potential applications include sensors, wound healing materials, and drug delivery systems. A recent study explored how different synthesis methods affect the safety and performance of MXenes. By comparing etching conditions and intercalation strategies, researchers discovered that fine-tuning the surface chemistry of MXenes plays a crucial role in improving biocompatibility. These results provide practical guidelines for developing safer MXenes and bring the field one step closer to real biomedical applications.

Congratulations and thank you to our collaborators from TU Wien and CEST for very interesting work and making it published! In this work, an upscalable electrochemical MXene synthesis is presented. Yields of up to 60% electrochemical MXene (EC-MXene) with no byproducts from a single exfoliation cycle are achieved.
Congratulations to all collaborators with this interesting joint work!
Thank you to our collaborators for the amazing joint work recently published in Graphene and 2D Nanomaterials about MXene–silk fibroin composite films aiming to develop materials with tunable electronic and thermal properties
Dr. Oleksiy Gogotsi, director of MRC and Carbon-Ukraine, innovative companies that are among the leaders on the world MXene market, visited 2024 MRS Fall Meeting & Exhibit. together with Dr. Maksym Pogorielov, Head of Advanced Biomaterials and Biophysics Laboratory, University of Latvia.
MRC and Carbon-Ukraine team visited the 3rd International MXene conference held at Drexel University on August 5-8, 2024. Conference brought together the best reserchers and leading experts on MXene field. 
Together with colleagues from the University of Latvia, MRC/Carbone Ukraine, Adam Mickiewicz University, University Clinic Essen, and others, we have developed a novel concept involving the binding of antibodies to MXenes. In our research, we utilized anti-CEACAM1 antibodies to develop targeted photo-thermal therapy for melanoma (in vitro), paving the way for future in vivo studies and clinical trials. For the first time, we demonstrate the feasibility of delivering MXenes specifically targeted to melanoma cells, enabling the effective ablation of cancer cells under near-infrared (NIR) light. This new technique opens up vast potential for the application of MXenes in cancer treatment, diagnostics, drug delivery, and many other medical purposes.
