New NUS technology completes vital class of industrial reactions five times faster

(National University of Singapore) Researchers from NUS Engineering have developed a new method to increase the rate of an important chemical reaction known as hydrogenation by more than 5 times. Hydrogenation is used in the production of everyday items like plastics, fertilisers, and pharmaceuticals. The NUS team's novel approach is a more direct and effective method that can lead to higher yields for industries and lower environmental impacts.
