A process called Alkaline Thermal Treatment (ATT) has been tested to turn mixed plastic ...

Discover how solar thermal energy can significantly reduce costs and carbon emissions in manufacturing processes, promoting ...

Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, have developed a new method that makes the oxidation of alcohols easier to ...

Heating things up is one of the biggest sources of cost and emissions for many industrial processes we take for granted. Most of these factories are running around the clock so they don’t have to ...

Chemical and thermal processes underlie the conversion of primary resources into usable energy and materials, spanning combustion, pyrolysis, gasification and advanced catalysis. Combustion remains ...

The figure shows the evolution of the microstructure of the melt pool under the influence of the simulated transient temperature field. Nucleated grains are represented in pink-purple plots, while ...

Thermal cracking in hydrocarbon furnaces is a high‐temperature process used to break long‐chain hydrocarbons into lighter olefins and aromatics, primarily ethylene and propylene. Feedstocks such as ...

In industrial manufacturing, the operational efficiency of production lines depends on the reliability of specialty chemical processing aids. Production managers and formulation chemists frequently ...

Buildings are the third-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Canada. In many cities, including Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary, buildings are the single highest source of emissions. The ...
