News Oxidation

• Artificial Enzyme Splits Water
  

  Chemists from Würzburg present a new enzyme-like molecular catalyst for water oxidation. Mankind is facing a central challenge: it must manage the transition to a sustainable and carbon dioxide-neutral energy economy. Hydrogen is considered a promising alternative to fossil fuels. It can be produced more

• Three Eyes See More than Two - monitoring a catalytic reaction with three different microscopies under exactly the same conditions in real time
  

  One has to look very closely to exactly understand what processes take place on the surfaces of catalysts. Solid catalysts are often finely structured materials made of tiny crystals. There are various microscopies to monitor chemical processes on such surfaces – they use, for example, ultraviolet l more

• Brazilian scientists reveal method of converting methane gas into liquid methanol
  

  A group of researchers has succeeded in converting methane into methanol using light and dispersed transition metals such as copper in a process known as photo-oxidation. The reaction was the best obtained to date for conversion of methane gas into liquid fuel under ambient conditions of temperature more

• Diluted HNO3 as Green Chemistry Reagent for Sample Preparation
  

  The efficiency of diluted acids for digestion of organic samples was tested as an alternative to common digestion procedures more

• Dürr solves complex issues with incinerating liquid and gaseous residues
  

  Production processes in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries give rise to gaseous and liquid residues that are preferably disposed of in decentralized incinerators. Most of these residues are highly caloric gases and solutions containing high c more

• Production of protein-grafted cellulosic fibers by a simple two-step process
  

  The new method presented herein consists of two simple steps for chemically modifying the surface of cellulosic materials more

The Chemistry of Sparklers

It’s Fireworks Night here in the UK tomorrow, which means fireworks (obviously), bonfires and sparklers. We’ve looked at fireworks in a previous post, so this time around it’s time to take a look at the chemicals that go into producing sparklers, and their various roles. In sparklers, there are thre more

Periodic table of oxidations states

The oxidation state of elements are largely dependend on their position in the periodic table. Main group elements have usually less numbers of oxidations states. Transition metal often have a wider range of possible oxidaions states. more
