A group of TU Delft bachelor students has developed, as part of the students' minor in Computational Science and Engineering, a new model that accurately predicts the molecular properties of alkanes.

An organic catalyst offers chemists precise control over a vital step in activating hydrocarbons. An organic catalyst offers chemists precise control over a vital step in activating hydrocarbons.

Many species naturally make small amounts of hydrocarbons. Now researchers at the startup LS9, based in South San Francisco, CA, have described the genes and enzymes responsible for this production of ...

Science, New Series, Vol. 163, No. 3866 (Jan. 31, 1969), pp. 478-479 (2 pages) A new method for equilibrating water containing alkane hydrocarbons with a gas phase and analyzing the gas for ...

Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons. Saturated means that the hydrocarbon has only single bonds and that the hydrocarbon contains the maximum number of hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom. Unsaturated ...

Current demand for plastics and chemical raw materials is met through large-scale production of ethylene from fossil fuels.

The solubility of water in cycloalkanes (cyclopentanes and cyclohexanes) found in crude oil as a function of temperature has been calculated. In addition, we have developed a new correlation for ...
