Argonne and Ames National Labs researchers discovered a faster, energy-efficient method for producing propylene using zirconium and silicon nitride catalyst, reducing toxicity, energy use, and greenhouse gases.
Scientists from Argonne and Ames National Labs discovered a faster, more energy-efficient method for producing propylene, a key component in polypropylene plastic, using zirconium and silicon nitride. This catalyst enhances propane gas conversion to propylene, resulting in reduced toxicity, energy use, and greenhouse gas emissions. The research was published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
