Catalytic hydrogenation and dehydrogenation of formic acid and carbon dioxide represent pivotal processes in the conversion of renewable resources into clean energy carriers. These reactions allow for ...

Researchers have created a palladium-on-carbon catalyst for drug, pesticide, and plastic production that is very sparing in terms of precious metal use. In the new catalyst, palladium is carried on ...

A chemical reaction that's vital to a range of commercial and industrial goods may soon be initiated more effectively and less expensively thanks to a collaboration that included Oregon State ...

A recently discovered catalyst, can convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful methanol at room temperature and low-pressure conditions. This novel compound, which is thermally and chemically stable in ...

video: UJ researchers take a novel step to change hydrogenation into a safe, low energy process. They use a very stable three phase emulsion to transform a toxic waste product into valuable feedstock.

Safe and environmentally-friendly hydrogen gas on demand could be on the horizon following a new "hydrogenation" chemical process in development at The City College of New York. Led by Mahesh K.
