Chemical engineers have demonstrated that a potassium-promoted molybdenum carbide catalyst efficiently and reliably converts carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide, a critical step in the process.

The new findings highlight the use of a potassium-promoted molybdenum carbide catalyst to complete this step. "This is the first demonstration that this type of molybdenum carbide catalyst can be used ...

An eyewitness captures the fear of those watching the explosions Chinese authorities are still trying to ascertain what exactly caused a potent mix of chemicals to ignite in a warehouse in Tianjin ...

However, the potassium-modified molybdenum carbide catalyst is synthesized from low-cost components and did not show any signs of deactivation during continuous operation of the 10 day pilot-scale ...
