A novel parallel computing framework for chemical process simulation has been proposed by researchers from the East China University of Science and Technology and the University of Sheffield. This ...

A chemical process used in the browning of food to give it its distinct smell and taste is probably happening deep in the oceans, where it helped create the conditions necessary for life. Known as the ...

Chemists have developed a catalytic process that turns the largest component of today's plastic waste stream, polyolefin plastic bags and bottles, into gases -- propylene and isobutylene -- that are ...

This chapter describes recent efforts by the chemical and petroleum industries to define process safety metrics suited to the needs of their enterprises. It then discusses how such concepts can be ...

Vegetation restoration is a primary strategy for combating desertification and increasing carbon storage in soils. While the focus has largely been on biological decomposition, a new study from ...

In response to the rising focus on sustainable manufacturing practices and corporate social responsibility, there has been a surge of interest in adopting environmentally friendly and green chemicals ...

Imperial College London PhD graduate Linden Schrecker has secured the backing of the university and BASF to spin out a company that uses artificial intelligence and experimental methods to rapidly ...

Chemical engineers develop problem-solving skills, with a strong foundation in science, engineering, and mathematics that touch every aspect of our lives–from smaller, faster computer chips to ...

A new chemical process can essentially vaporize plastics that dominate the waste stream today and turn them into hydrocarbon building blocks for new plastics. The catalytic process, developed at the ...
