Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons. Saturated means that the hydrocarbon has only single bonds and that the hydrocarbon contains the maximum number of hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom. Unsaturated ...

Hydrocarbons are the Organic compounds obtained by the simple combination of hydrogen and carbon-like petrol, diesel, and kerosene oil, etc. It is usually divided into two categories: Aliphatic ...

A proposed technique determines the hydrocarbon recovery factor and mobility from resistivity logs. This technique provides the petrophysicist with the following benefits: In the early stage of a well ...

Researchers have successfully converted sawdust into building blocks for gasoline. Using a new chemical process, they were able to convert the cellulose in sawdust into hydrocarbon chains. These ...

The fully saturated hydrocarbon backbone of EPDM rubber results in outstanding weatherability, ultraviolet stability and low/high temperature resistance. Therefore, EPDM rubber has been established as ...

We discovered that Dicrateria rotunda (D. rotunda), a species of Haptophyte, can synthesize hydrocarbons equivalent to petroleum (saturated hydrocarbons with a carbon number ranging from 10 to 38). No ...

This is science at its best: When I was growing up, the only practical use for sawdust was to soak up vomit, but thanks to scientists at a Belgian university who developed a new chemical process, that ...
