Chemical product and process design constitutes a multidisciplinary endeavour integrating chemical engineering principles, advanced computational methods and sustainability objectives to develop ...

Process chemists are responsible for identifying a chemical process that is safe, cost-efficient, and environmentally friendly. How do they do it on a day-to-day basis? Join ACS Institute Educator Joe ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have unveiled a groundbreaking chemical process that could streamline the development of pharmaceutical compounds, chemical building blocks that influence how drugs interact with the body.

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 ...

Graduate student RJ Conk adjusts a reaction chamber in which mixed plastics are degraded into the reusable building blocks of new polymers. A new chemical process can essentially vaporize plastics ...
