New Milling Methods Improve Corn Ethanol Production
of wet milling. The new method includes a 6-hour soaking in water of the corn kernels before milling. After about 3 hours of soaking, the enzymes are added. Then normal wet-milling steps are resumed. Johnston says that in laboratory and pilot-scale trials, the enzyme method separated starch

New Life for Shredded Plastic Waste
polymers of equivalent densities. Called froth flotation, it was originally developed to separate acrylonitrile- butadiene-styrene (ABS) from high-impact polystyrene (HIPS); a mixture of plastics that is typical of that recoverable from obsolete appliances. A large-scale (1,000 lb/hr) pilot plant
