Ethylene, a key feedstock in the chemical industry, often includes traces of acetylene contaminants, which need to be removed. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, researchers describe a robust and ...

Ethylene is traditionally obtained through steam cracking of petroleum-derived hydrocarbons. Recently, the semi-hydrogenation of coal-derived acetylene has emerged as an alternative to produce ...

Ethylene, a key feedstock in the chemical industry, often includes traces of acetylene contaminants, which need to be removed. Researchers describe a robust and regenerable porous metal-organic ...

Ethylene is one of the most important building blocks in chemical synthesis. Traditional thermocatalytic hydrogenation of acetylene to ethylene (HAE) requires high temperatures and high pressure, ...

A team used light and water to convert acetylene into ethylene, a widely used, highly valuable chemical that is a key ingredient in plastics. While this conversion typically requires high temperatures ...

Sasol Ltd. is increasing production rates following the replacement of acetylene reactor catalyst at its Lake Charles Chemicals Project (LCCP), an integrated ethane cracker and downstream derivatives ...
