How catalysts and enzymes are becoming one of the most powerful and least visible forces in low-carbon manufacturing.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new study led by Colorado State University Distinguished Professor Eugene Chen outlines a path to creating advanced, recyclable plastics. Published in Nature, the study describes a breakthrough ...

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: ...

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

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 ...

Graduate student RJ Conk adjusts a reaction chamber in which mixed plastics are degraded into the reusable building blocks of new polymers. A new chemical process can essentially vaporize plastics ...
