Scientists have discovered a method to control the gas-phase selective catalytic combustion of methane, so finely that if done at room temperature the reaction produces ethylene, while at lower ...

THIRTY years have elapsed since Profs. W. A. Bone and R. V. Wheeler first studied the combustion of methane and were led to the view that oxidation takes place through successive stages of ...

A new fast combustion infiator based on the reactions of methane-oxygen mixtures has been developed. The performance of this infiator was evaluated in terms of pressure-time relationships inside the ...

Black carbon is not a gas but a particulate — a component of soot emitted by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass. By some estimates, emissions from black carbon vie with methane as ...

Jul. 22—The June explosion which killed a contractor and destroyed a 1.5 million gallon water tank happened after a critical safety-check was not performed before welding started, according to a press ...
