Credit: University of Sydney/Philip RitchieResearchers have unveiled a groundbreaking approach that leverages liquid metals to transform and "green" the chemical industry. This innovative technique could replace the energy-intensive methods rooted in the early 20th century, offering a much-needed shift away from solid catalysts.Reducing Greenhouse Gas EmissionsChemical production contributes...

Transforming ‘Drain Gas’ Into Clean Hydrogen Fuel

An odoriferous, toxic gas can now be converted into clean-burning petroleum using a brand-new chemical process that has been found by specialists.The procedure converts hydrogen sulfide—more commonly known as "drain gas"—into hydrogen fuel and was recently described in the American Chemical Society publication ACS Sustainable Chemical Engineering. Hydrogen sulfide is a byproduct of industrial...
