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 ...

Catalytic ethylene oligomerisation processes are pivotal in converting ethylene into higher olefins that serve as key intermediates in producing detergents, lubricants, and synthetic fuels. These ...

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 ...

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 ...

Using a catalyst based on ruthenium (gold ball, center), UC Berkeley chemists were able to add specific chemical groups—in this case, OH (red) - to polyethylene polymer chains, creating an oxidized ...

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 ...

Controlling the crystal phase of cobalt nanoparticles leads to exceptional catalytic performance in hydrogenation processes, scientists report. Produced via an innovative hydrosilane-assisted ...

Biochar can help turn agricultural waste into clean hydrogen fuel while cutting carbon pollution, according to a new study in the journal Biochar. Researchers report that a simple two stage catalytic ...

Catalytic converters are essential automotive exhaust system components, but they're extremely expensive, thanks, in part, to the presence of this metal.

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 ...
