Use of Accelerating Rate Calorimetry in Improving Process Safety of Reactive Chemicals

This FREE to attend webinar was presented by Dr John Studley, Scientific Update. John will cover the following topics: General introduction-, discovery, natural abundance etc, Why is deuterium of interest to chemists? Physical properties and comparison to proteo- compounds, Applications & Key articles to read for further information.

In the wake of sobering statistics on human life losses in fires, the issue of fire resistance of building materials is getting more important and global.

In cheminformatics today, innovations such as IUPAC’s InChI have created an explosion of interconnectedness for chemical structure databases. Unfortunately, chemists continue to draw 2D structures containing implicit 3D information (chair and boat, Haworth or Fischer projections, etc.). To address the issue, chemical information scientists use software-based ‘standardisation’ of chemical structures and in the process may remove or misinterpret the implicit stereochemistry of the original structure. In this webinar, we will explore an alternative, more accurate software-based ‘interpretation’ method that understands the 3D intent of 2D drawings as a chemist would. Case studies comparing both methods will be presented.

Decades of policy decisions contributed to the shale gas boom and now the petrochemical industry is eyeing the Ohio River Valley region as a production hub for single-use plastics made out of fracked gas, starting with Shell’s massive new ethane cracker in Monaca, Pennsylvania.
