Most hydrogenation projects begin with a familiar mandate: a promising Business Case, challenging timelines, and a facility ...

Catalytic hydrogenation of maleic anhydride is an essential reaction in the production of value‐added chemicals such as succinic anhydride and γ‐butyrolactone. This chemical process, which involves ...

The fundamental process of hydrogenation has been used as an organic chemical reaction to add hydrogen gas to a compound for various applications. While this process occurs usually in the presence of ...

Two teams are exploring scaling up processes that could tackle the 800,000 tonnes of glove waste created every year ...

The precise catalytic conversion of chemical bonds is a paramount goal in catalysis. Enzymes, as efficient biocatalysts, are well known for their high catalytic activity, selectivity, and substrate ...

Osaka University group demonstrates a catalyst that effectively converts amides to amines at low temperature under low hydrogen pressure Amines are vital in nature; for example, amino acids—the ...

When it comes to catalytic activity, more isn’t always better. Overly active catalysts may be hard to control; finding the sweet spot can be tricky. That job may be easier now thanks to a study ...

Chances are you’ll eat something hydrogenated today. What does that mean? We’ll give you a quick tour of what hydrogenation is, how it’s done, and why many people don’t like it. To hydrogenate ...
