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 ...

AddCat and ValCUN developed a next-gen catalytic reactor with higher conversion efficiency and a 37% lower total cost 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 ...

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 ...

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: ...

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 ...

New research has revealed the fundamental mechanisms that limit the performance of copper catalysts—critical components in artificial photosynthesis that transform carbon dioxide and water into ...

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 ...

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 ...
