The polymerisation of ethylene represents a fundamental process in the production of polyethylene, a plastic with vast industrial and consumer applications. Catalysts based on chromium oxides ...

A joint team led by Prof. Wu Kai and Assoc. Prof. Zhou Xiong at the College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering, Peking University, and Li Yongwang at Synfuels China Technology Co., Ltd. have ...

For every ton of ethylene created, one ton of carbon dioxide is produced. With more than 300 million tons of ethylene produced each year, the production system has a huge carbon footprint that ...

The current use of metal catalysts to develop polymers leads to suboptimal quality polymers that contain metallic impurities and involves a reaction process that is not environment friendly. Now, ...

Across the world, a considerable amount of the plastics and synthetic fibers used daily are produced from polymerization processes. Thus, there is a significant demand for process optimization and ...

The creation of plastics from polymers is now an old industry. So, there are many methods, sub-methods, and specific synthetic variations now used by academics and industry scientists to create ...
