A billionth of a second: That's how quickly some of the most critical chemical reactions of combustion occur. Argonne chemist Stephen Pratt leads the Gas-Phase Chemical Dynamics Group at Argonne. His ...

Fires in the wildland-urban interface (WUI) differ from wildland fires. Combustible materials in the WUI have different chemical compositions and densities, and are present in different quantities, ...

LIVERMORE, Calif. -- Researchers at Sandia and Argonne national laboratories have demonstrated, for the first time, a method to successfully predict pressure-dependent chemical reaction rates. It's an ...

This module connects ideas across topics in a first semester introductory chemistry course to explore the impacts of combustion reactions. By motivating students to understand the relationship between ...

High-alkali coals, distinguished by elevated concentrations of sodium, potassium and other alkali elements, present unique challenges and opportunities in thermal conversion processes. During ...
