Researchers discover new building blocks of catalyst zeolite nanopores
Work offers advances in materials for clean energy and carbon capture
13-Jan-2020
Zeolites crystals, used among other things for refining petroleum to gasoline and biomass into biofuels, are the most-used catalysts by weight on the planet, and discovering mechanisms of how they form has been of intense interest to the chemical industry and related researchers, say chemist ...
Neutrons optimize high efficiency catalyst for greener approach to biofuel synthesis
18-Dec-2019
Researchers led by the University of Manchester have designed a catalyst that converts biomass into fuel sources with remarkably high efficiency and offers new possibilities for manufacturing advanced renewable materials. Neutron scattering experiments at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge ...
A sustainable new material for carbon dioxide capture
16-Dec-2019
In a joint research study from Sweden, scientists from Chalmers University of Technology and Stockholm University have developed a new material for capturing carbon dioxide. The new material offers many benefits - it is sustainable, has a high capture rate, and has low operating costs. Carbon ...
A new zeolitic catalyst with potential industrial applications in propylene production
The new crystalline material is stable at high temperatures
10-Jul-2019
Researchers at the Institute of Chemical Technology, a joint centre of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Polytechnic University of Valencia, have developed a new zeolitic catalyst stable at high temperatures that could have industrial applications in the production of ...
Methane to syngas catalyst: two for the price of one
10-Sep-2018
Hokkaido University researchers have created an improved catalyst for the conversion of methane gas into syngas, a precursor for liquid fuels and fundamental chemicals. Syngas, also known as synthesis gas, is a mixture made primarily of carbon monoxide and hydrogen and is used to manufacture ...
A computational method for designing a new type of 2D carbons
16-Aug-2018
Zeolites are porous minerals that occur both naturally but also are being synthesized artificially. Because of their stability and durability, they are used in industrial water purification, catalysis, adsorption, and even in blood-clotting powders (e.g. QuickClot used by the US military). A ...
Breakthrough process for directly converting methane to methanol
04-Dec-2017
The direct oxidation of methane--found in natural gas--into methanol at low temperatures has long been a holy grail. Now, researchers at Tufts have found a breakthrough way to accomplish the feat using a heterogeneous catalyst and cheap molecular oxygen, according to a paper published by a team ...
BASF invests in third plant for specialty zeolites used for the production of mobile emissions catalysts
New plant in Ludwigshafen, Germany, will double BASF’s global specialty zeolites production capacity
22-Sep-2017
BASF invests in another production plant for specialty zeolites at its Ludwigshafen, Germany, headquarters site. These specialty zeolites will be used to produce state-of-the-art emissions catalysts for heavy duty and light duty diesel vehicles. Due to an increasingly high demand for these ...
How seawater strengthens ancient Roman concrete
05-Jul-2017
Around A.D. 79, Roman author Pliny the Elder wrote in his Naturalis Historia that concrete structures in harbors, exposed to the constant assault of the saltwater waves, become "a single stone mass, impregnable to the waves and every day stronger." He wasn't exaggerating. While modern marine ...
Metal-ion catalysts and hydrogen peroxide could green up plastics production
07-Jun-2017
Researchers at the University of Illinois are contributing to the development of more environmentally friendly catalysts for the production of plastic and resin precursors that are often derived from fossil fuels. The key to their technique comes from recognizing the unique physical and chemical ...
