Scientists have discovered a potentially greener way to produce a crucial industrial chemical used to make many everyday products, from plastics and textiles to antifreeze and disinfectants, according ...

A computer-generated image showing single nickel (Ni) atoms embedded in silver, used “to enhance oxygen dissociation and enable efficient production of ethylene oxide, a commodity chemical,” says ...

Few people have heard of the chemical ethylene oxide, but all of us have used products that rely on it for their production, from antifreeze and plastics to textiles and disinfectants. It is what’s ...

Ethylene oxide production by partial oxidation of ethylene remains a pillar of the chemical industry, underpinning manufacture of antifreeze, detergents and polymers. The challenge lies in maximising ...

Ethylene is sometimes called the most important chemical in the petrochemical industry because it serves as the feedstock for a huge range of everyday products. It's used to produce antifreeze, vinyl, ...

Scientists have pinpointed a potentially greener way to produce an integral industrial chemical used to make many everyday products from plastics and textiles to antifreeze and disinfectants, ...

Chemical engineers have discovered that adding nickel atoms to silver catalysts could revolutionize the production of ethylene oxide by eliminating the need for toxic chlorine while maintaining ...

Oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) is now one step closer to leaving the lab and entering the real world. Researchers have developed an OCM catalyst that exceeds 30 percent when it comes to the ...
