The research was published in ACS Energy Letters. Last year, UO chemist Paul Kempler and his team reported a way to create iron with electrochemistry, using a series of chemical reactions that turn ...

Conservators and museum technicians protect precious archaeological metal objects, such as tools and weapons, with clear coatings, leaving preserved and unobstructed views of these detailed treasures.

Chemists are pioneering a clean, electrochemical method to make iron, a key step in decarbonizing the steel industry. Their ...

In this environment, William Kelly devised a new process for refining iron. Kelly’s invention used chemical reactions to remove impurities in molten pig iron, a crude form of iron, and reduce the fuel ...

Conservators use polymer coatings to preserve iron artifacts by keeping out moisture and oxygen to prevent corrosion. But a ...

Incredibly, the reaction between iron and moist air that produces rust ... all involve very fast and extremely exothermic chemical reactions. The first 'reaction' that we tried for our hand ...

Iron oxide, aluminum, and a catalyst are placed in a flowerpot. The reaction is extremely exothermic resulting in molten iron and aluminum dripping into sand below the flowerpot. The demonstration ...

We’re surrounded by metals like iron, silver, copper, gold and magnesium. Most metals go through a chemical reaction when they are combined with other substances, but some metals react more ...

A new study shows that protective resins can react with iron-containing metals, causing damage to precious artifacts. The ...
