Efficient methanol synthesis is considered a promising approach for carbon resource recycling. Hydrogenation of carbon dioxide (CO2) to methanol is thermodynamically favored at low temperatures, but ...

Catalytic hydrogenation of maleic anhydride is an essential reaction in the production of value‐added chemicals such as succinic anhydride and γ‐butyrolactone. This chemical process, which involves ...

The fundamental process of hydrogenation has been used as an organic chemical reaction to add hydrogen gas to a compound for various applications. While this process occurs usually in the presence of ...

Scientists have found a way to use common bacteria as tiny, green chemical factories to replace a process that currently ...

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 ...

Asymmetric hydrogenation, wherein a double bond is reduced using molecular hydrogen, is a popular way to add a stereocenter to a molecule. But asymmetric hydrogenation tends to break oximes’ N–O bonds ...

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

Controlling the crystal phase of cobalt nanoparticles leads to exceptional catalytic performance in hydrogenation processes, scientists report. Produced via an innovative hydrosilane-assisted ...

Chances are you’ll eat something hydrogenated today. What does that mean? We’ll give you a quick tour of what hydrogenation is, how it’s done, and why many people don’t like it. To hydrogenate ...
