Abstract For the past 130 years, the Kilogram as a unit of measurement was defined by the International Prototype Kilogram. This was replaced in 2019 by a fundamental physical constant, namely Planck’s constant. The re-definition of the Kilogram in terms of this new constant has been highly controversial, splitting scientists into two main camps. The …

(Inspired by the official article of Martyn Poliakoff and Ellen Poliakoff) Abstract The periodic table is an output of huge dedications of many scientists like Lavoisier, Dobereiner, Newland, Moseley, and so on. Around 150 years before Dimtri Ivanovich Mendeleev first built up his form of the periodic table. It was successful enough, especially in predicting …
Abstract Recently, views are rising among some teachers that noble gases should be understood as “existing in the form of monoatomic molecules\’\’ instead of just “separate atoms”. Undoubtedly, this has made students confused when trying to understand the properties of noble gases. To evaluate the two notions, this article first reviews historical discussions around …

Abstract The aim of this report is to investigate ways of recycling polyethylene terephthalate to produce a greater, purer yield of terephthalic acid. Terephthalic acid is important within the textile industry with it being a great contributor in the production of polyester fibres, as well as it having many uses within the pharmacology sector. With …

Abstract The world has a large demand for fuel, and in particular, environmentally friendly fuels such as bioethanol. There has been a growing interest in using paper as a feedstock for bioethanol production, as this generates a two-fold effect of both removing waste from landfills and meeting global energy needs. Paper undergoes acid-based or enzymatic …
