Analysis of biosynthetic pathways reveals that functional group selectivity in enzymatic reactions is a persistent issue. For example, olefins may undergo oxidation in favour of C–H bonds, or instead ...

Catalysts are of utmost relevance for the production of chemicals and energy storage with hydrogen. Researchers have now discovered that the formation of bubbles in the pores of a catalyst can be ...

Catalysts are of utmost relevance for the production of chemicals and energy storage with hydrogen. Researchers at the Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nürnberg for Renewable Energy (HI ERN) and Friedrich ...

Using a new type of nanoreactor, researchers have succeeded in mapping catalytic reactions on individual metallic nanoparticles. Their work could help improve chemical processes, and lead to better ...

Some people have streets named after them. Warren Piers, a chemistry professor at the University of Calgary, has a catalyst penned after him. And in a paper published today in the online edition of ...

For example, the hydrotreater's cumulative value for Stage 256 (Oct. 30, 2011) for a catalyst activity of 60% is $8.38 million. The calculation process starts at Stage 260, the final 2 weeks of ...
