Application requirements. Scrubber is designed to “wash out” unwanted pollutants, like dust or sulphur dioxides from industrial exhaust 
stream, created in the process of dispersed carbon-contained material burning out in the waste-heat boiler of the furnace for 1 tone/h.
Scrubber frame is designed for gas flows and water droplets organizing.
Irrigation system is designed for water supply and spraying inside the scrubber.
Sludge removal device is designed for sludge automatic removal from the scrubber.
Emergency water supply system is designed to cut off water supply if sludge removal from the scrubber is impossible. The inner surface of the scrubber should be resistant to corrosion under the influence of lean solution of sulfuric acid. The scrubber frame shall have openings for maintenance work. The frame must have a split body design to allow for repair work if necessary.The scrubber frame should have one or several technological openings (man-holes) providing for the unit maintenance (control of the surfaces general state, spay nozzles replacement, frame renewal etc). Spray nozzles should be replaceable.
Operating requirements. Gas with pollutants is fed along the inclined gas flue to the bottom of the scrubber and then goes up.
Circuit of the control system for the scrubber
On the top of the scrubber there are centered spray nozzles spaced in 3 tiers.
NaOH solution supplied under pressure is irrigated. Formed water droplets fall under the gravity force towards dustiness gas stream. They fall onto the perforated plates where bubbles and interaction of gas with solution takes place. Washing out of gas stream from sulfur oxides is based on absorption technology. The following reaction takes place when NaOH solution contacts with gas:
2NaOH+SO2→Na2SO3+H2O
NaOH+SO2→NaHSO3
2Na2CO3+SO2+H2O → 2NaHSO3
2Na2CO3+SO2 → Na2SO3+CO2
Processed solution and captured dust are gathered in the scrubber bottom part. Clean gas is discharged through the inclined gas flews, placed in the scrubber upper part.
Manufacturing of the scrubber: metal cutting, welding, argon welding, milling processing and assembling
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.
