Chemists have developed a catalytic process that turns the largest component of today's plastic waste stream, polyolefin plastic bags and bottles, into gases -- propylene and isobutylene -- that are ...

Biochar can help turn agricultural waste into clean hydrogen fuel while cutting carbon pollution, according to a new study in ...

Catalytic hydrogenation is a cornerstone process in chemical manufacturing, particularly in the production of hydrogen peroxide via the anthraquinone process. This approach involves the selective ...

A groundbreaking study led by researchers from the UK Catalysis Hub has shed new light on the dynamics of methanol within copper-loaded zeolites, offering promising insights into the development of ...

Researchers have now been able to study the surface of iron and ruthenium catalysts when ammonia is formed from nitrogen and hydrogen. A better knowledge of the catalytic process and the possibility ...

A new approach could help lock away carbon dioxide emissions for the long term. Researchers report a catalytic strategy to convert CO 2 into carbon nanofibers (Nat. Catal. 2024, DOI: ...

A team of Boston College researchers has demonstrated an unprecedented catalytic approach that enables concurrent control of multiple convergences and selectivities in intermolecular amination of ...

What are the primary challenges associated with using spectroscopy to study industrial catalytic reactors, and how does the iso-potential operando DRIFTS technique overcome these challenges? Using ...

A new chemical process can essentially vaporize plastics that dominate the waste stream today and turn them into hydrocarbon building blocks for new plastics. The catalytic process, developed at the ...
