As a footnote to Mark M. Green’s letter on how to make organic chemistry “be part of understanding the wider world, to be worth knowing” (Jan. 2, 2023, page 3), I wish to illustrate my approach to “a ...

Methods used for the study of the kinetics of exhaust hydrocarbon reactions are reviewed, compared and contrasted. The isothermal plug flow reactor which allows the determination of time resolved ...

Petroleum consists of liquid (oil) and volatile (natural gas) organic alteration products, and is generated during the conversion of metastable macromolecular kerogen to thermodynamically favoured ...

The reaction of calcite with hydrogen was investigated over a range of pressure, temperature, and time. The reaction initiates at about 500 °C. Its primarily temperature-dependent rate proceeds in a ...

This module uses transportation fuels as the theme to connect the organic concepts of hydrocarbon structure, intramolecular forces and physical properties to green and sustainable chemistry. The ...

It's pretty easy to grow vast quantities of microbes. It's a lot harder to convert those microbes into something useful. For example, we've engineered algae that, when starved for nitrogen, will put ...
