This antibonding plays an important role in the chemistry of π donor ligands such as oxo and alkoxide. It is in large part responsible for the lack of late transition metal complexes with terminal oxo ligands, and can explain some of the unusual chemistry of late metal alkoxide complexes.doi...
Richard Horrocks-Taylor, Global Head Metals & Mining, Standard Chartered, examines the state of play in China and its role in securing the metals to meet the needs of the sustainable transition. China is a behemoth in metals and mining, both as the biggest consumer of minerals on the planet...
On theperiodic tableof elements, copper is situated next to nickel and zinc in the first row of what is called transition metals, which refer to metallic metals with certain properties. These properties include being good conductors of electricity, being resistant to corrosion, being very malleable...
silver is used in conductive paste that forms electrical contacts. Approximately19%of the silver demand comes from the solar sector. This application boosts the efficiency of solar panels, driving the transition to cleaner energy sources. As the global push for ...
These systems are capable of further NOx emission reduction, using chemical reactions with reactants like ammonia or urea. Diesel engines also have a big problem with Particulate Matter, which can be reduced effectively by diesel particulate filters. A diesel oxidation catalyst can be employed in ...
OCTOBER 2022CANADIAN MINING JOURNAL| reprintWhy mine operators should conduct energy auditsCLEAN MINING>By Debra Johnson As we continue to navigate the energy transition, industries around the world are working on ways to decarbonize operations. The same is true with the mining industry, and many ...
There are a number of reasons for this. The world economy entering a period of transition as nearly a decade-long bull market comes to a close. Not only is this cycle nearing its end, causing some investors to take on greater risk in pursuit of dwindling returns, but what lies ahead is...
Our future depends on a transition away from fossil fuels. To map out a path, we need to get to grips with how, and why, the use of coal, gas and oil has risen to unsustainable levels. Most fossil fuels are consumed not by individuals, but by and through large technological systems,...
As noted previously, the cost of food supply depends on oil prices. The cost of producing metals also depends on oil prices, because oil is used in extracting metal ores. As the prices of metals and foods rise, these industries are stimulated as well. Values of mines rise, as do values...
In recent decades, however, cancer research has been directed away from toxins even as the evidence has mounted that toxins are indeed the primary cause of cancer. The reasons for misdirecting cancer research are two-fold: Covering up the culpability of those who produce toxins and sell toxic ...
