Hi Shan, I just have to add The Glen has a winter Ice Holiday Program. Thank you so much for sharing all of these fantastic events. 🙂
Thanks for letting me know. Sounds awesome. 😀
Wow super ideas, now my kids will not be bored in December as we are not going on holiday but will be in jhb through the festive season
So glad I could help. You must take them to see the lights. 🙂

Copper scrap trade shows A team of researchers from the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) has developed a unique metal-organic framework (MOF) that exhibits cooperative copper centers, enabling the selective conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) to ethanol (CH3CH2OH). The researchers believe that this development could help tackle one of the major challenges facing the world today – reducing greenhouse gas emissions and producing cleaner energy sources. The MOF was designed to contain two distinct types of copper centers: isolated copper atoms and clusters of copper atoms (copper clusters). The isolated copper atoms play an important role in activating the CO2 molecule, while the copper clusters serve as sites for the formation of the desired ethanol product. By working together in a cooperative manner, these two types of copper centers facilitate the selective transformation of CO2 into ethanol. The team conducted extensive tests on the MOF and found that it exhibited high selectivity, high conversion efficiency, and excellent stability under ambient conditions. The MOF’s selectivity for ethanol production was found to be as high as 72%, much higher than the selectivity of other known catalysts. The researchers believe that this breakthrough in CO2 conversion could have a significant impact on industry and the environment. Ethanol is an important chemical used in a wide range of applications, including fuel additives, solvents, and pharmaceuticals. By producing ethanol from CO2, the researchers have created a sustainable pathway for producing this valuable chemical. Furthermore, the use of CO2 as a feedstock reduces the carbon footprint of ethanol production. In conclusion, the development of this cooperative copper center-containing MOF for selective CO2 to ethanol conversion offers a promising solution for addressing two significant global issues – reducing greenhouse gas emissions and producing cleaner energy sources. With further research and development, this breakthrough could pave the way for more sustainable and efficient chemical production processes Scrap metal refurbishment Copper scrap permits Copper scrap trade associations Copper scrap processing equipment Copper scrap exporters Metal recycling industry
Copper transformer recycling Copper has been known to humans since ancient times and was one of the first metals to be mined and utilized for various purposes. Its discovery and use can be traced back to almost 8000 BCE, with its use being prevalent in different parts of the world such as the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. The ancient civilizations were highly skilled in the extraction of copper from the earth and utilized it in a variety of ways. Copper alloys were used due to their durability and versatility. The metal was used to make weapons, tools, coins, and jewelry. The Egyptians even used it to make pipes for their irrigation systems. In ancient times, copper was considered a valuable and rare metal. Its use became more widespread as civilizations advanced and trade routes developed. Ancient Greeks and Romans also made use of copper in various forms. The Romans used copper to make coins and statues. Copper became more widely used in the Middle Ages with the onset of the Industrial Revolution. Copper mining and production techniques were improved, and the metal was utilized in making machines and in electrical equipment. Today, copper is one of the most widely used metals in the world, with a significant number of industrial applications, including electrical wiring, plumbing, and construction. In conclusion, copper has been an important metal since ancient times and has played a vital role in the development of civilizations. Its usefulness and versatility have made it a popular choice for various applications over the years, and it continues to be an essential component in modern life Metal scraps Copper scrap yards near me Copper scrap repackaging Copper scrap negotiations Scrap Copper export Scrap metal reprocessing centers
