Heterogeneous catalysis is a type of catalysis where the catalyst occupies a different phase from the mixture of reactions. Phase distinguishes between not only components…

Homogeneous catalysts allow greater interaction with the mixture of reactions than heterogeneous catalysts do. Homogeneous catalysis in chemistry is the catalysis by a soluble catalyst…

Acetaldehyde (CH3CHO), also known as ‘ethanal’, is a widespread, naturally occurring, colorless and flammable liquid with a suffocating smell. It is sometimes abbreviated by chemists…

Nanoparticles are of great interest to the scientific community due to their ability to control both quantum and classical coupling interactions. Iron-platinum nanoparticles (FePt NPs)…

Iron fertilization is an innovative method that aims to sequesters carbon (remove it from the carbon cycle for a period of time) by creating large…

A carbon sink is a natural or artificial reservoir that absorbs and stores the atmosphere’s carbon with physical and biological mechanisms. It is natural or…

Nanoscale iron particles are sub-micrometer particles of iron metal. They are highly reactive because of their large surface area. In the presence of oxygen and…

Iron (Fe) is a chemical element, the metal of Group 8 (VIIIb) of the periodic table, the most-used, and cheapest metal. It is a chemical…

Ferritic nitrocarburizing (FNC) is a thermochemical surface hardening process that involves diffusion of both nitrogen and carbon into the part. It is a range of…

Potassium permanganate is more properly known as potassium magnate VII, and is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula KMnO4 and composed of K+ and…

Phosphate mineral is a group of naturally occurring inorganic salts of phosphoric acid, H3(PO4). These minerals contain the tetrahedrally coordinated phosphate (PO43−) anion along sometimes with arsenate (AsO43−) and…

Passivation is the process of treating or coating a metal in order to reduce the chemical reactivity of its surface. In physical chemistry and engineering,…
