Professor Gerhard Ertl is one of the world’s leading experts on surface techniques and their application to catalytic problems. Looks at his hrsearch into the industrial synthesis of ammonia. Filmed on...
In the past one of the big problems with drugs was that the patient received a mixture of two forms of the same chemical compound. Often this did not matter. In the case of thalidomide one of the forms had...
Concerned with the chemical analysis of organic compounds. Examines three principal types of mass spectrometer: the quadrapole device, the more traditional magnetic sector instrument, and the hybrid machine....
Looks at the chemical analysis of organic compounds. In a solution known as the mobile phase, compounds are passed under pressure through a column packed with silica. They invariably separate because they...
Steps in the development at ICI of a long life carbon-zinc-aluminium hydroxide catalyst for the low-pressure and -temperature synthesis of methanol from hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Investigation of the...
Illustrates how BP Chemicals Ltd produce in bulk two of the many chemicals made at Salt End works near Hull. Describes how acetaldehyde is produced by the oxidation of ethyl alcohol derived from naptha. The...
Pharmaceutical chemists have to understand what normally happens in the body, work out the patient’s chemical problems, and thentry and solve them by administering a drug. Scientists at Glaxo took a series...
Relates closely to the course textbook. Looks at ways in which computer programmes are used in design as a tool for analysis and synthesis. Five compaies are shown, covering these topics in architecture,...
Two video sequences showing a series of demonstrations of experimental techniques which include: continuous extractions; flash chromatography; reduced-pressure distillation; small-scale recrystallisation and...
Two OU programmes combined on one disc/tape. INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY: Concerned with the uses and principles underlying infra-red spectroscopy techniques. Demonstrates the value of the Fourier transformation,...
