Researchers are finding unusual ways to cut the production cost for ethylene, the raw material for polyethylene. Cracking naphtha from crude oil is an important ethylene production route. However, ...
In producing hydrocarbons for the chemical industry, refiners must first crack oil at high temperatures and then cool the mixture to liquefy the gases for separation. This energy-intensive chilling ...
Energy intensive cryogenic distillation is the standard practice at petrochemical facilities which deliver thousands of consumer products – from food additives to plastics and packaging. New ...
The semiconductor industry has never been pickier about gas purity. As chip designs shrink below seven nanometers, ...
The cryogenics industry has a fundamental role to play in crafting the conceptual design for the UK’s Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production facility. Joe McEntee reports Fusion pathway Schematic ...
Thermally-based industrial chemical separation processes such as distillation now account for 10 to 15 percent of the world's annual energy use. Slaking the global thirst for energy could therefore ...
Most industrial chemists spend their days separating the components of large quantities of chemical mixtures into pure or purer forms. The processes involved, such as distillation, account for 10–15% ...
SAN ANTONIO—Researchers are finding unusual ways to cut the production cost for ethylene. Cracking naphtha from crude oil is an important ethylene production route. However, this reaction also makes ...
