Discovery may reduce the environmental impact of chemical manufacturing Chemical manufacturers frequently use toxic solvents such as alcohols and benzene to make products like pharmaceuticals and plastics. Researchers are examining a previously overlooked and misunderstood phenomenon in the chemical reactions used to make these products. This discovery brings a new fundamental understanding of catalytic chemistry and a steppingstone to practical applications that could someday make chemical manufacturing less wasteful and more environmentally sound. The study led by University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researcher David Flaherty, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities researcher Matthew Neurock and Virginia Tech researcher Ayman Karim is published in the journal ....
Surface Redox Mediators Formed in Alcohol Solvents may Reduce Chemical Waste Written by AZoMFeb 5 2021 Toxic solvents like benzene and alcohols are often used by chemical manufacturers to make products such as plastics and pharmaceuticals. Illinois researchers are part of a multi-institutional team that found that solvents spontaneously react with metal nanoparticles to form reactive complexes that can improve catalyst performance and simultaneously reduce the environmental impact of chemical manufacturing.
