Professor Krishnan underscores the advantages of their discovery. The pathway to cyclic carbonate production operates at a modest temperature of around 100 degrees Celsius, significantly reducing ...

New research headed by Prof. Ji Qian and Prof. Renjie Chen (Department of Energy and Environmental Materials, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Beijing Institute of Technology) demonstrates ...

The epoxide is able to react with CO 2 in the presence of a specific catalyst. The product is a cyclic carbonate in the form of a five-membered ring with three carbon and two oxygen atoms.

Partners in a pilot development of the Late Devonian Grosmont formation in Alberta report progress toward commercial production of bitumen, which would be the first for the expansive carbonate.
