A catalyst that effectively converts amides to amines at low temperature under low hydrogen pressure has been demonstrated by a team of researchers. Amines are vital in nature; for example, amino ...

A new iron nanoparticle catalyst promises to drastically improve the efficiency of hydrogenation, a key chemical process used in a wide array of industrial applications. Cleaner, safer and cheaper ...

(Phys.org) -- An international team of researchers has discovered how adding trace amounts of water can tremendously speed up chemical reactions—such as hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis—in which ...

Copper nanoparticles dotted with a few isolated palladium atoms can serve as effective catalysts for hydrogenating organic compounds, according to a study conducted at Tufts University (Science, DOI: ...

Heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation is of significant importance for the production of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, flavours and fragrances, agrochemicals and fine chemicals. Indeed, an average ...

This study is led by Prof. Yuqin Zou (College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Hunan University). The experiments were performed by using a series of in situ characterization and the density ...

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 ...

A variety of hydrogen sources (e.g., water, alcohols, formic acid, etc.) can be used in the reported SACs for TH. They are also capable of performing a variety of hydrogenation reactions. In a ...

Deepak Nitrite stock was in demand after the company's subsidiary, Deepak Chem Tech, commissioned its Nitration and second ...

Johnson Matthey has manufactured a new Gusev catalyst for ester hydrogenation using technology that promotes sustainability and improved reactivity and selectivity, according to the company. Johnson ...
