How Can Nanotechnology Improve Resource Extraction?
Nanotechnology has the potential to revolutionize resource extraction methods in the field of geology. For example, nanocatalysts can enhance the efficiency of chemical reactions used in mineral processing. Nanoparticles can also be employed for enhanced oil recovery, improving the extraction of hydrocarbons from reservoirs. Additionally, nanosensors can be used to monitor and optimize the extraction process, reducing environmental impact and increasing yield.
