When you hear the word "epoxide," what do you think? If anything, likely "glue." But epoxides are quite common in our ...

A research team led by Prof. ZENG Jie and GENG Zhigang from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), utilized bromide as a reaction medium to ...

Scientists have decoded the atomic-level secrets behind catalysts that turn propane into propylene. Their algorithms reveal unexpected oxide behavior that stabilizes the catalytic reaction by ...

There is a crying need for the green production of propylene oxide (PO) due to its high industrial value. The electrooxidation of propylene into PO has aroused the interest of scientists, because the ...

Converting propane into propylene typically involves a metal catalyst like chromium or platinum on a support material, such as aluminum oxide or silicon dioxide. The catalyst speeds up the reaction.

Countless everyday products, from plastic squeeze bottles to outdoor furniture, are derived by first turning propane into propylene. A 2021 study in Science demonstrated that chemists could use tandem ...

Evonik Industries and Dow have started up a hydrogen peroxide-to-propylene glycol pilot plant at Evonik’s site in Hanau, Germany. The plant makes propylene glycol directly from propylene and hydrogen ...
