The authors' claim is that it is cheaper than other catalytic methods that have been explored/invented to depolymerize PET into TPA monomers. These qualitative cost estimates are based on the reaction conditions (temperature, solv

Jet fuel is comprised mostly of hydrocarbons with 8 to 16 C atoms, and a large fraction of these hydrocarbons are straight-chain alkanes. Combustion of dodecane (a C12 straight-chain alkane) makes 12 CO2 molecules. A 747 jet consumes about

Membranes segregate mixtures of molecules into their individual components. This segregation typically requires pore diffusion and relies on the sizes of the molecules being distinct; the size of the pores within the membrane is chosen so t

The authors of the article in topic provide a more coherent explanation than I could ever articulate: >> Conventionally, the formation of chemical bonds is due to a decrease in potential energy (PE), often accompanied by small increas

The decrease in potential energy upon vdW bond formation in reactions with typical hydrogen isotopes dominates the negligible gains in vibrational zero-point energy from reactants to products. With the muonic hydrogen substitution, the auth
