THE well-known photosensitizing action of zinc oxide in oxidation reactions, where oxygen was considered to be the reactant photoactivated in the process and the sensitivity of certain gases in ...

Foods which contain edible oils will spoil once exposed to oxygen from the air due to oxidation reactions. This chemical change results in a bad flavour and smell from the food. If left exposed to ...

In this reaction, carbon is oxidised because it gains oxygen. At the same time, copper oxide is reduced because oxygen is removed from it.

Apart from carbon monoxide oxidation and acetylene hydrochlorination — the initial two reactions for which gold was discovered to be by far the best catalyst — gold is effective for other ...

A dilute solution of bromine is added to samples of heptane and cyclohexene. The bromination reactions and mechanisms are compared. UV light splits the bromine molecule into two reactive radicals, ...

Currently, over 95% of H2O2 is industrially produced using the anthraquinone oxidation process, which is highly ...

A breakthrough in renewable energy research has led to the development of a cost-effective and highly efficient iron-based ...

A newly developed pentanuclear iron complex can offer an efficient, stable, and cost-effective solution for water oxidation. By electrochemically polymerizing the complex, researchers have obtained a ...

A team of researchers co-led by Tulane University chemical engineer Matthew Montemore has discovered that adding nickel atoms to silver catalysts could revolutionize the production of ethylene oxide ...

By incorporating gadolinium into a catalyst, its efficiency in a reaction that produces hydrogen fuel increases. This could be the boost we need to ...
