A team of researchers at NYU have presented a new chemical reactor type that synthesizes a precursor for nylon production through electrosynthesis, rather than a thermal based reaction. The need for ...

A team reported that in its search to develop an innovative, environmentally friendly process to make adiponitrile (ADN) -- the main precursor to nylon 6, 6 -- it found a way to greatly improve the ...

A team of researchers is working to upend energy-intensive, fossil fuel-dependent chemical manufacturing processes and replace them with sustainable, solar-driven reactions that rely on renewable ...

Growing market demand for nylon 6,6 resin is the driver behind plans by Ascend Performance Materials (Houston, TX) to increase production capacity across its intermediate chemicals and polymers ...

Use of (not-so)-rare earth metals in large-scale manufacturing applications is expected to economize critical rare earth excavations. Just to be clear, not all rare earth metals are necessarily rare ...

Several biobased chemical makers plan to scale up production of nylon precursors made via fermentation. They are responding to demand from consumer product companies that want to reduce greenhouse gas ...

BROOKLYN, New York, Monday, August 26, 2019 - The chemical and allied industries face such challenges as ready access to reliable energy supplies, waste reduction, water conservation, and energy ...
