SUMMARY:From Stardust to Life: The Chemistry of Habitable Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by ACS Webinars and ACS Division of Physical Chemistry (PHYS) Astrochemistry Subdivision\nNoon-1:00 pm\, Online\, Free\, Registration required\n\n“What made Earth hospitable to the origins of life? And how often should we expect planets around other stars to be habitable? The answers to both these questions lie in the formation and distribution of molecules in planet-forming disks around young stars. By studying the chemistry of these disks\, we can begin to map out under which conditions young planets have access to the elements most associated with life (carbon\, oxygen\, nitrogen\, sulfur and phosphorous)\, to water\, and even to organic molecules. \n\n\n\noin Karin Öberg of the Department of Astronomy at Harvard University as she reviews our current understanding of this chemistry\, as well as how this understanding has been achieved through a combination of astronomical observations\, including chemical imaging of disks with the powerful microwave telescope ALMA\, theory\, and laboratory experiments aimed at recreating some of the exotic chemistry characteristic of planet-forming environments. Register now to discover how the recent arrival of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) as well as ongoing and future Solar System missions are setting us up to more deeply address links between astrochemistry and the formation of planets hospitable to origins of life. \nThis ACS Webinar is moderated by Susanna Widicus Weaver of the University of Wiscosin-Madison and is co-produced with the ACS PHYS Astrochemistry Subdivision. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nThe basics of planet formation and its links to chemistry\nHow organic molecules can form at cryogenic temperatures\nWhat observational methods enable us to observe molecules in star and planet forming regions”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Details\n\nWednesday\, January 22\, 2025 @ 3-4pm ET\nFree to register with ACS ID\nSlides will be available on day of the Live event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-Produced With\n\n\n\n\n\n\nACS PHYS Astrochemistry Subdivision

SUMMARY:Innovating Everyday Chemicals with Green Chemistry: More Sustainable Lubricants\, Solvents\, and Fertilizers
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by ACS Webinars and ACS Green Chemistry Institute\n11:00 am-12:30 pm\, Online\, Free\, Registration required\n\n“Chemists across the industry and academia are driving innovation by integrating green chemistry and engineering principles into the design\, manufacturing\, and processes of chemicals. Join three recipients of the 2024 Green Chemistry Challenge Awards—a collaboration between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention and the American Chemical Society’s Green Chemistry Institute—as they share their impactful scientific achievements. \n\n\n\nThe $60 billion lubricant market spans applications from industrial machinery to everyday vehicles. Lubricant base oils\, traditionally derived from petroleum\, comprise 75-90% of these formulations. Dionisios Vlachos of the University of Delaware will discuss new synthetic methods to produce lubricant base oils using biobased feedstocks\, such as plants or food waste\, that provide comparable or better performance to existing technologies. Through heterogeneous catalysis\, the new process also reduces the use of hazardous reagents\, including corrosive acids\, compared to existing bio-based lubricant production. \nEthanol is increasingly recognized as a promising feedstock for sustainable chemistry that significantly reduce the reliance on fossil fuels and its use in chemical production helps lower greenhouse gas emissions. Amit Hasabnis of the Viridis Chemical Company will discuss a greener synthetic method and more circular process design for ethyl acetate from corn bioethanol\, instead of using chemicals acquired from processing coal or natural gas. \nTraditional phosphate fertilizer production poses significant environmental challenges\, including acid-based rock processing\, hazardous gypsum waste with heavy metals and radioactivity\, and fluorine emissions. Ed Gannon of PhoSul will introduce a new fertilizer consisting of spherical granules of phosphate rock combined with other materials that improve phosphate availability for plants. The additional materials allow the tricalcium phosphate in the phosphate rock\, which is not available to plants\, to be converted into available forms in the soil. \nThis webinar is moderated by Edmond Lam of the American Chemical Society and produced by the ACS Green Chemistry Institute. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat You Will Learn\n\nHow the development of three classes of bio-lubricant base oils with different properties can comparable or better performance to existing technologies\nThe impact of green hydrogen technology and how the dehydrogenation of Bio-Ethanol to Ethyl Acetate can supply about 40% of the manufacturing facility’s energy requirements\nHow an organically enhanced rock phosphate fertilizer can eliminate the need for acid processing\, reduce waste\, and deliver superior performance compared to conventional phosphate rock fertilizers\nWhat are the Green Chemistry Challenge Awards and when is the nomination process for your next opportunity to win the award.”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar Details\n\nThursday\, January 23\, 2025 @ 2-3:30pm ET\nFree to register with ACS ID\nSlides will be available on day of the Live event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-Produced With\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nACS Green Chemistry Institute
