In synthetic chemistry, making the best possible use of the needed ingredients is key to optimizing high-quality production at the lowest possible cost.
In future, it will be much easier to produce some active pharmaceutical substances and chemical compounds than was the case to date. An international team working with chemists from the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung in Mülheim an der Ruhr have immobilised various catalysts on nylon in a very simple way. Catalysts mediate between the reagents in a chemical reaction and control the process leading to the desired end product.
Praxair, Inc. today announced the start-up of its state-of-the-art 135 million standard cubic feet per day (scfd) hydrogen plant serving Valero’s St. Charles refinery in Norco, Louisiana, under a long-term supply agreement.
Catalysts are essential for the chemical industry because they accelerate reactions and increase their yields. However, many of the catalysts in use today are based on expensive and environmentally harmful metals. Stefan Huber and Florian Kniep from the Chair of Organic Chemistry at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM) have now presented an alternative: non-toxic compounds, so-called halogen bridge donors, can serve as organic catalysts. Evonik Industries AG awarded Florian Kniep their research prize for his work.
In the first formal laboratory test of its process separation technology, TerraSep LLC has confirmed that its multi-column Preparative/Process scale Centrifugal Liquid Chromatograph (P-CLC) achieved a level of separation efficiency that is orders of magnitude higher than current industry standard processes.
Chemists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have found a way to apply a “foundational reaction” of organic chemistry to a stubborn class of chemicals, in a transformation that has been thought impossible for a century.
This fluoropolymer market research study provides detailed qualitative and quantitative analysis of the global fluoropolymers industry. The report provides a comprehensive review of major market drivers, restraints, opportunities, winning imperatives, challenges, and key issues in the market.
BASF now produces its new cost-efficient binders (CEBs) based on styrene-acrylics and styrene butadiene at its site in Hamina, Finland. Since 2012, the successful product line has already been supplied primarily to customers in Central Europe from the site in Ludwigshafen, Germany. Now, customers in the Northern European and Russian market can also benefit from the new products. BASF can thus supply the whole European paper industry.
Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla and President Alain Fuchs of the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), the largest governmental research agency in Europe, will meet today to celebrate an agreement to create an international chemical research center on the UC San Diego campus that will aid in the development of new kinds of chemical catalysts for both industry and academe.
Magritek, a leading provider of compact NMR and MRI instruments, will present a paper in the New Developments in NMR Methodology program on Wednesday 25th September.
