Guest post by Principal Toxicologist Richard Young and Toxicologist Daniel Threlfall from Bibra, specialists in assessing the hazards and risks posed by chemicals and assisting chemical companies with REACH obligations (originally posted in May 2019). Updated by ReAgent. What is REACH? REACH is a European Regulation concerning the safe use of chemicals, with the aim of improving the protection of human health and the...
ADR regulations refer to the set of rules for transporting dangerous products by road. These regulations are a product of a multilateral international agreement known as the “European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road.” The treaty was signed in Geneva by European countries in 1957.Continue reading to find out more about ADR, their impact, and how...
The Coke-Mentos experiment is one of the most popular science experiments - and also one of the most well-known. It’s relatively easy to do because the materials are readily available: with nothing but a few Mentos and a bottle of Coke, you can trigger an immediate, explosive reaction, making this a very simple yet very fun (if slightly messy)...
With advanced robotics, genetic engineering, artificial intelligence (AI), and other rapidly advancing cutting-edge technologies, we are now in the fourth Industrial Revolution.We are seeing fundamental shifts in how we work, the most pronounced of which is in manufacturing. An example of this is in the many industries that are now integrating AI into their operations, and the chemical manufacturing industry...
Chemical feedstocks are any raw materials used in the mass production of chemical products. They’re generally unprocessed materials that are the initial basis of chemical manufacturing, such as fuel or base chemicals. The term ‘chemical feedstock’ can also refer to intermediate byproducts that are temporarily stored for later use.The type of chemical feedstock determines the energy and production efficiency...
Electrolysis is an electrically-powered chemical reaction that has a wide range of applications, both in the laboratory and in industrial settings. Many chemical manufacturing companies use electrolysis, and in this article, we’ll cover its underlying concepts, common applications, and safety concerns. Key Takeaways Electrolysis is a non-spontaneous type of oxidation-reduction reaction The basic setup of electrolysis involves an anode and cathode...
Despite the distillation and purification processes, petrochemicals products contain traces of metals such as nickel, vanadium, and copper, along with small amounts of sulphur. Lead used to be added to petrol to improve engine efficiency. The practice, which began in the 1920s, was eventually phased out in the 1980s, and leaded petrol was banned completely in the UK in...
