Oxford Chemistry researchers have developed a method to destroy fluorine-containing PFAS (sometimes labeled 'forever ...

So why do so many life-forms breathe oxygen? There are probably thousands of kinds of metabolisms, or chemical processes that ...

Fluorine chemistry developed rapidly during the Second World War, with American scientists working on the 'Manhattan project' to separate fissionable uranium-235 from uranium-238. Uranium is ...

Researchers hope to solve the issue of “forever chemicals” while recycling valuable fluoride — tackling two environmental ...

The Fluorine Group is one of the RSC's many Interest Groups. The Interest Groups are member driven groups which exist to benefit RSC members, and the wider chemical science community, in line with the ...

We are at a critical time and supporting climate journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen ...

Researchers in South Korea have developed a domestic technology for localizing an essential industrial raw material that was ...

Fluoride and fluorophosphate ions are the main fluorine species present in the ... reagents that are commonly used for fluorination chemistry. These PFAS-derived reagents reacted as anticipated ...

The traditional method of producing fluorochemicals from fluorspar requires the use of sulfuric acid to convert the calcium fluoride to hydrogen fluoride gas, which is highly toxic and corrosive. In ...
