Old becomes new - how new chemical products are made from used frying oil

Selective one-pot reaction

18-Oct-2024 - Every year, 119 million tons of used vegetable oil are produced worldwide, mainly from commercial kitchens and restaurants. Only a small proportion of this is reused, for example in the production of fuels such as biodiesel. At the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis in Rostock (LIKAT), PhD student ...

Green methanol for the circular economy

New catalyst developed

02-Feb-2024 - This is the vision: to produce the raw material methanol at the edge of the field or on the farm using renewable energies. In addition to wind or sun, water and CO2 would be needed to produce the raw materials for the green methanol process: Carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2), which react ...

From Climate Gas to Raw Material

DFG Focus on Green Chemistry under Fluctuating Conditions

22-Sep-2023 - Wouldn't that be an elegant solution: to use the substance that is most damaging to the climate and threatens the future as a raw material for economic goods and everyday items? In fact, carbon dioxide (CO2), an unavoidable byproduct of civilization, is already being used in the laboratory to ...

First DIN for Photocatalytic Synthesis

Chemist at LIKAT Defines Standards for Light-driven CO2 Reduction

15-Aug-2023 - The first standardization document for photocatalytic synthesis was created with the significant participation of a chemist at the Rostock Leibniz Institute for Catalysis, LIKAT. Called "DIN SPEC 91 457", the specification lays down concrete guidelines for a so-called CO2 reduction, which is a ...

Enzyme and Metal Combined for Future Catalysts

The Best of Two Worlds

16-Aug-2022 - As biocatalysts, enzymes manage the metabolism of all living things. They do this extremely precisely, because even a single incorrectly converted substance could have fatal consequences for the organism. Young researchers from the Leibniz Science Campus ComBioCat are using this selective ...

Deuteriation: Hot Topic in Chemical Research

17-Jan-2022 - Drugs that we take are chemically altered as they are degraded in the body. In the case of newly developed active ingredients it is important to know which degradation products (metabolites) are formed in the process, because these can be incompatible or even harmful. To detect such metabolites, ...
