Some copper and zinc smelters have been forced to cut their output because they have run out of space to store hazardous sulphuric acid in the face of poor demand for the by-product and more may have ...

A range of production processes frequently employ acid mixtures comprised of two or three acids; for example, nitric acids, sulfuric acids and hydrochloric acids. In order to use these acids safely ...

Green Metals Refining Ltd (GMR), a midstream refining company focused on producing low-cost manganese chemicals for the green energy transition, has announced the successful completion of a scoping ...

Researchers have helped minimize the cost of an important class of chemical transformations: converting nitriles into primary amines. Their experimental protocol uses a cheap nickel catalyst instead ...
