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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at Tomsk Polytechnic University have developed new highly efficient catalysts for synthesis gas processing using ...

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 ...

Catalysts play an indispensable role in modern manufacturing. More than 80% of all manufactured products, from pharmaceuticals to plastics, rely on catalytic processes at some stage of production.

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 ...

The working principle of so-called promoters in a catalytic process has been effectively seen in real-time for the first time by researchers at TU Wien. Although their significance in technology is ...
