A collection of small, useful things (links):
- Welcome to new chemistry blog Six Point Zero Two.
- Via Retraction Watch, we have a few:
- The latest from the Baran group at Open Flask.
- I've been remiss on the BASF explosion:
- Here's Derek's post on it.
- Here's the C&EN article by Alex Scott.
- I'd really like to know how the initial explosion caused secondary explosions elsewhere at Ludwigshafen?
- Nice post at "Picture It... Chemistry" about gluten.
- This "Reactions" post with Nature Communications editor Ariane Vartanian is pretty awesome. (by Nature Chemistry's Marshall Brennan)
- Did you know about the International Society of Heterocyclic Chemistry? I didn't. Check it out at The Heterocyclist.
- Check out the latest ACS "What Chemists Do" with a pigment chemist.
- A nice open letter to chemistry undergraduates.
- The latest from Stellen Fuer Chemiker.
- Very cool piece by Ben Feringa on the day he won the Nobel Prize.
Again, an open invitation to all interested in writing a blog, a hobby that will bring you millions thousands hundreds tens of dollars joy and happiness. Send me a link to your post, and I'd be happy to put it up.
Afaik, the initial BASF explosion has not been linked with the second one at a different site. Meanwhile, divers found the last missing person in the river. Several are still dealing with life-threatening injuries.
ReplyDeleteBASF has now released that the affected pipelines carried ethylene and propylene. Independently of this explosion, local politicians had already suggested a hearing in which BASF officials should be questioned about atypically large numbers of incidents this year(not fatalities, but chemicals escaping). BASF claims that these can be assigned to many plants being repaired or newly opened, which is where accidents happen.
There are commonly two types of membrane Filters are used, the tube membrane and the reverse osmotic membrane. They are mostly used for a wide range of water treatment, water treatment, and wastewater treatment.
