• UC Santa Barbara scientist studies methane levels in cross-continent drive

  After taking a rented camper outfitted with special equipment to measure methane on a cross-continent drive, a UC Santa Barbara scientist has found that methane emissions across large parts of the U.S. are higher than currently known, confirming what other more local studies have found. Their resear more

• Keeping fruit, vegetables and cut flowers fresh longer

  New technology offers the promise of reducing billions of dollars of losses that occur each year from the silent, invisible killer of fruits, vegetables and cut flowers — a gas whose effects are familiar to everyone who has seen bananas and other fruit ripen too quickly and rot. That's the conclusio more

• Group of Bradford Co, Pa. residents concerned about health effects of hydrofracking

  Residents living in areas near natural gas operations, also known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, are concerned their illnesses may be a result of nearby drilling operations. Twenty-two percent of the participants in a small pilot study surmise that hydrofracking may be the cause of such healt more

• Burn injuries under freezing (labor protection) conditions?
  

  "A little splash of liquid nitrogen hasn't hurt anybody" - this happens to be a widespread opinion in many laboratories. The real dangers connected to cryogenic gases many people had to learn firsthand, unexpected and painful. Skin irritation, cell and tissue damage or severe burn injuries may occur, depending on the type of contact and exposure time. There are less possibilities of medical treatment than for injuries caused by influence of heat more

• CO2 Gas Calibration with eVol®, the digital analytical syringe
  

  Using eVol® for injection of different volumes of CO2, CEP/TEP was able to achieve calibration of their instrument with levels of accuracy and precision not previously obtained using manual syringes. In addition, the needles on the eVol® syringes allow for sample collection directly from the gas bottle – similarly to the manual syringes used previously more

• Sakhalin Energy Utilizes Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMS for Largest Russian LNG Project Ever
  

  Sakhalin Energy is bringing onstream one of the largest integrated oil and gas projects in the world in Russia's Far East. The Sakhalin II Project combines partnership incorporating the recovery, production and transportation of oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG). Sakhalin Energy standardized on Thermo Scientific SampleManager LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) for use in its main laboratory located at its LNG plant/oil export terminal (OET), as well as in upstream satellite laboratories across Sakhalin Energy more

• Catalytic oxidation of CO by N2O conducted via the neutral oxide cluster couple VO2/VO3

  Neutral vanadium and cobalt oxide clusters are generated at the same time employing a V–Co mixed target. Experimental results indicate that the reaction VO2 + N2O → VO3 + N2 occurs in a fast flow reactor. This interpretation is further supported for a gas mixture of CO and N2O in the flow cell: rege more

• Advances in low temperature gas-phase kinetics

  Rate constants for elementary gas-phase reactions were first measured reliably following the development of pulsed photolysis and flow methods in the 1960's. These techniques have continued to be employed as kinetics experiments have been performed at lower and lower temperatures. Sub-ambient temper more

• Dimeric [small mu ]-oxo bridged molybdenum(VI) dioxo complexes as catalysts in the epoxidation of internal and terminal alkenes

  The preparation of the tridentate phenol based amine ligands HL1–HL4 is achieved via a convenient one-pot synthesis by reductive amination in quantitative yield in an autoclave under 7 bar H2 gas. Reaction of [MoO2(acac)2] and the corresponding ligand HLX (X = 1, 2 and 4) in methanol–H2O results in more

• Petrochemical Industry - Key Geographies Experiencing Change in Feedstock Scenario

  Introduction GlobalData, the industry analysis specialist, has released its latest research, “Petrochemical Industry - Key Geographies Experiencing Change in Feedstock Scenario”. The study, which is an offering from the company’s Petrochemical Research Group, provides an in-depth analysis of the p more

• Brazil Petrochemicals Report Q2 2012

  The Brazilian petrochemicals market has considerable potential for growth, with plastics consumption at 32kg per capita, less than one-third of the level in the US and Western Europe, according to BMI’s latest Brazil Petrochemicals Report. Growth will be fuelled by the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de J more

• Ukraine Petrochemicals Report Q2 2012

  Ukrainian petrochemicals output performed consistently well throughout much of 2011 with primary plastic output up 25% y-o-y to 550,500 tonnes, according to BMI’s latest Ukraine Petrochemicals Report. Production was up on pre-crisis levels, despite the lacklustre performance of the domestic market. more
