TotalEnergies plans to shut down the older of two ethylene-producing flexible steam crackers at the operator’s 338,000-b/d integrated refining and petrochemical platform in Antwerp, Belgium.

Ethylene, the most produced molecule in the chemical industry (~180 million tonnes per year), is currently manufactured through energy-intensive processes based on fossil feedstocks. Developing ...

Using a bismuth oxide catalyst—a substance that accelerates chemical reactions—the researchers demonstrated the ability to selectively combust one molecule in a mixture of combustibles. Their findings ...

Studies have been made of the effect of 60Co γ-radiation on dilute aqueous solutions of ethylene. The influence on the products of dose, ethylene pressure, pH of the solution and additives has been ...

A chemical change is the result of a chemical reaction. In a chemical reaction, the atoms and molecules that interact with each other are called reactants. In a chemical reaction, the atoms and ...

When the solvent evaporates, the phosphorus reacts with oxygen in the air in a combustion reaction. Ask students to make a prediction: Do you think substances can react and cause the temperature of ...
