Why Do Mentos React With Coca-Cola?

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)...

How Will AI Impact Chemical Manufacturing?

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...

What Is Chemical Feedstock?

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...

What Is Electrolysis?

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...

What Chemicals Can Be Found In Petrol?

Despite the distillation and purification processes, petroleum 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...

What Chemicals Can Be Found in Milk?

There are a lot more chemicals in milk than you might expect. As a naturally-occuring baby and infant food for mammals, it’s rich in protein, fats, lactose, vitamins, and minerals that are essential for growth and development. Even in adulthood and old age, milk is still an important substance in our diet.A Complete List of Chemicals in MilkThe exact...
