    thyssenkrupp Uhde Fertilizer Technology (UFT), licensing company of thyssenkrupp Uhde, has signed contracts with the Nigerian Company Dangote Fertiliser Limited (DFL) to provide its UFT Fluid Bed Granulation Technology for four new urea granulation trains as part of four new fertilizer complexes.

  3. Breakthrough Material Captures Industrial Gases Twice As Efficiently 11/20/2025

    Most materials designed to capture gases work like a crowded parking lot: one car per space. But chemists at UC Berkeley have now created a porous material that breaks this rule, fitting two gas molecules into a single binding site—a feat that could revolutionize the separation or purification of critically important industrial gases.

  4. UF Researcher Catalyzing Change In Methane Conversion 11/19/2025

    Methane is the main component of natural gas and a potent greenhouse gas. What if this critical raw material could be converted into useful energy and valuable products more efficiently?

  5. Scientists Harness Plants' Plasticity To Make Key Industrial Chemical 11/19/2025

    A team led by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory has engineered poplar trees to produce valuable chemicals that can be used to make biodegradable plastics and other products.

  6. Using Theory And Data To Create New Single Atom Catalysts For Cleaner Chlorine Production 11/19/2025

    Chlorine is an essential industrial chemical used in products ranging from disinfectants to plastics. Yet producing chlorine requires the chlorine evolution reaction (CER), a process that consumes a significant amount of electricity worldwide.

    BASF today announced the expansion of its Alkyl Polyglucosides (APGs) footprint in Asia with a new plant at the Bangpakong site in Thailand.

  8. A Greener Recipe For Ammonia 11/18/2025

    While ammonia production is critical to the world’s food supply—up to 90% of ammonia goes toward making fertilizer for agriculture—the process of converting hydrogen and nitrogen to ammonia leaves a significant carbon footprint, contributing to 1 to 2% of global energy consumption and CO2 emissions annually.

  9. Bay City Plant Utilizing LiMA Technology Reaches 75% Production Capacity 11/18/2025

    In March 2025, Röhm successfully commissioned its state-of-the-art plant in Bay City (Texas, USA) featuring the company’s proprietary LiMA (“Leading in Methacrylates”) C2 technology for the production of methyl methacrylate (MMA). Over the past months, the plant has been gradually ramped up and is currently operating multiple reactors at nameplate capacity.

  10. Researchers Achieve Durable Acidic CO2 Electroreduction To Formic Acid Through Metal-Phase Protection Strategy 11/18/2025

    The electroreduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable chemicals and fuels typically operates under alkaline or neutral conditions, but the carbonation side reaction causes carbon loss.
