THE value of gas chromatography as a technique for the analysis of the minute quantities of products formed during the kinetic studies of gas reactions is well illustrated by recent work on the ...

Chemical analyses of seawater provide the first direct evidence that the ocean may be a significant source of certain atmospheric gases that scientists had previously assumed to be produced primarily ...

The decomposition flame of ethyl nitrate has been stabilized at atmospheric pressure to give a flat stationary reaction zone above the liquid surface. The reaction zones behind the flame front have ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 55, No. 1 (Jan., 2010), pp. 305-314 (10 pages) Between February and October 2007, a time series of alkyl nitrate concentrations in the water column of a shallow ...

On January 23, 2018, DOE announced that researchers at PNNL have developed a catalyst capable of converting ethanol directly into butadiene. Butadiene is the building block for nearly every major ...

Creatine is a chemical compound stored in your muscles and in smaller amounts in the brain, liver, kidneys, and testes. Your muscles convert creatine to phosphocreatine, which helps generate rapid ...

Together with other researchers, the geoscientist from Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) published his paper in the journal Water Resources Research on 8 November 2021. Intervention is a matter of urgency ...

Julie Tallman is the former floodplain manager for the city of Iowa City. Gov. Kim Reynolds told reporters on April 26 that it was a good deal and environmentally healthy to increase the minimum ...

A recent article detailing the nitrate pollution that drainage tiles are causing in Iowa’s rivers and streams ["How do we fix Iowa’s nitrate pollution?" Sept. 13] does not mention the Renewable Fuel ...

THE decomposition of the alkyl nitrates is chemically complex, and studies of the spontaneous ignition of methyl and ethyl nitrates have shown that this complexity is associated with a variety of ...

A new analysis shows that the carbon emissions from using land to grow corn can negate or even reverse any climate advantages of corn ethanol relative to gasoline. Transportation is responsible for a ...
