The American Chemical Society (ACS) has released a new episode in its 'Global Challenges/Chemistry Solutions' podcast series.
The podcast and accompanying website focus on a new way to make acrylic acid, a key industrial material that is usually produced from pricey and increasingly scarce petroleum. It involves development of a new catalyst that permits production of acrylic acid without using petroleum. The research appeared in the ACS journal, ACS Catalysis. The new podcast is available without charge at iTunes and from ACS' website at www.acs.org/globalchallenges.
Global Challenges/Chemistry Solutions is a series of podcasts describing some of the 21st Century's most daunting problems, and how cutting-edge research in chemistry matters in the quest for solutions. Global Challenges is the centerpiece in an alliance on sustainability between ACS and the Royal Society of Chemistry.
