Selective combustion offers an energy-efficient alternative to remove contaminants from industrial processes
This diagram shows the combustion of a small amount of acetylene in a mixture with ethylene. Credit: Greg Stewart/SLAC National Accelerator Research Institute Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin City have discovered a new method that allows the catalyst to be used to selectively burn a single molecule with a mixture of hydrocarbons, a compound made of hydrogen and…
