The Possibility of Using Solid Alumina or Silica Gel Catalysis in Development of an Organic Synthetic Step (kilomentor)

It has long been known that some chemical reactions that proceed slowly or not at all in solution can become predominant when the reactants are adsorbed on solid adsorbants. This can be dramatically demonstrated if we perform preparative chromatography and…

Carbon Dioxide Solution

Have you heard of the Stenger Wasas Process (SWAP)?
Apparently, it’s an exothermic reaction (produces heat) that takes place between carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide and “eliminates” both. It operates over a secret heterogeneous catalyst that is apparently readily available and inexpensive. Sounds too good to be true: Solve global warming and acid rain in one [...]
