Amines are ubiquitous in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, and a nickel-based catalyst has now opened up a promising route to make these molecules from widely-available nitrile compounds ...

Alkanolamines are polyfunctional molecules that include the properties of both alcohols and amines, and because of this they serve as key intermediates in the development of a wide range of products.

Because they can remove carbon dioxide from the flue gases of coal-burning facilities such as power plants, solid materials containing amines are being extensively studied as part of potential CO2 ...

Alkanolamines are used widely in gas treating plants. Because acid-gas removal from natural gas requires regeneration of alkanolamines, the energy requirement for the stripping section (condenser and ...

Effective startups usually stem from efficient scheduling and attention to detail during project design and commissioning. While commissioning of typical amine units can be straightforward, a ...

A new closed-loop flow reaction system improves the yield and speed of enzymatic reaction sequences that convert amines—including dopamine and other biogenic amines—to alcohols with the same chirality ...
