Activated Charcoal Activated Charcoal is a fine, odorless, black powder often used in emergency rooms to treat overdoses. Charcoal is made from coal, wood, or other substances.…
Biochar Biochar is a carbon-rich solid that is derived from biomass that is heated in a limited oxygen environment. It is charcoal used as a soil…
Acetoacetic Acid Acetoacetic acid (AcAc), also known as ‘diacetic acid’, is a weak organic acid that can be produced in the human liver under certain poor metabolism…
Naphthalene Naphthalene is a white, volatile, solid polycyclic hydrocarbon with a powerful smell of mothball, and its chemical formula is C10H8. It is detectable at concentrations…
Heterogeneous Catalysis 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 Catalysis 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 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…
Iron-platinum Nanoparticles 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 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…
Carbon Sink 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 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 – a Chemical Element 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…
