Interesting Engineering is a cutting edge, leading community designed for all lovers of engineering, technology and science.
The chemical industry is one of the most significant contributors to global warming, producing about 10-15 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions.
Researchers have developed a new technique that uses liquid metals as catalysts for chemical reactions, which could reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption in the chemical industry.The chemical industry is one of the most significant contributors to global warming, as it produces about 10-15 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions and consumes more than 10 percent of the world’s total energy.
“Our method offers an unparalleled possibility to the chemical industry for reducing energy consumption and greening chemical reactions,” said Professor Kourosh Kalantar-Zadeh, the lead researcher and the head of the The researchers also discovered they could create liquid metal catalysts at very low temperatures by dissolving nickel and tin in liquid gallium. For example, liquid nickel, which has a melting point of 2,651 degrees Fahrenheit , could be obtained by dissolving it in liquid gallium, which has a melting point of only 86 degrees Fahrenheit . This makes the liquid metal catalysts more accessible and versatile for different chemical reactions.
