Chemical and Process in the Engineers Journal

Brain-harming chemicals revealed in clearer light thanks to fresh findings

Researchers have identified new ways that certain substances can interfere with people’s hormone system and brain development.

With just a small amount of electricity, engineers boost common catalytic reactions

Applying a small voltage to a catalyst can increase the rates of reactions used in petrochemical processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and many other processes.

Microbes could help cut the need for chemical fertilisers

New coating protects nitrogen-fixing bacteria from heat and humidity, which could allow them to be deployed for large-scale agricultural use.

Meteors can help solve riddles about water

Minerals in ancient meteorites offer insights into the origin of almost three-quarters of the Earth’s surface.

Researchers unveil fire-safe fuel

Chemical engineers have designed a fuel that ignites only with the application of electric current. Since it doesn't react to flames and cannot start accidental fires during storage or transport, it is a 'safe' liquid fuel.

Engineers use computational modelling to design 'ultrastable' materials

These highly stable metal-organic frameworks could be useful for applications such as capturing greenhouse gases.
