Lanthanide(II) Hydrides for Nitrogen Fixation and Ammonia Production

Victoria University of Wellington School of Chemical and Physical Sciences

Research summary. When we think of fossil fuel products we often think of petrol, oils, and plastics. But do you think about kai? Half of global food production currently relies on ammonia fertilisers made from fossil fuels. Read more

Mechanochemical Preparation of Biodegradable Pharmaceuticals

University of Birmingham School of Chemistry

Twin-screw extrusion (TSE) has been demonstrated as an excellent means of industrialising mechanochemistry (instigation of a chemical reaction by mechanical energy, in the absence of solvents), overcoming the barriers involved in batch processing (such as ball milling) such as scalability and reaction temperature control.
