Apart from carbon monoxide oxidation and acetylene hydrochlorination — the initial two reactions for which gold was discovered to be by far the best catalyst — gold is effective for other ...

Acetylation is any chemical reaction that adds an acetyl chemical group (CH3C=O, sometimes abbreviated in chemical structures as Ac) and is a type of acylation reaction. Acetylation of proteins ...

This innovative bismuth oxide catalyst allows for the selective combustion of acetylene, potentially transforming industrial processes and pollutant removal.

Removing acetylene is a crucial process to prevent ... we can adapt it to any particular reaction," said Simon Bare, a Distinguished Scientist at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory at ...
