A team from IFPEN’s Economics and Environmental Assessment Department anticipates that the consumption of copper is set to soar over the period to 2050.
Research conducted at IFPEN has established a reaction mechanism to describe a key step: the dimerization reaction. A new methodology now makes it possible to better predict the genesis of soot particles, helping to limit the associated health and environmental effects.
