Application

Activated charcoal (activated carbon) has been used:
  • As an adsorbent for p-cresol in the fermentation broth, during its synthesis from p-hydroxyphenylacetate catalyzed by p-hydroxyphenylacetate decarboxylase.
  • To form a charcoal filter in a Drierite cartridge for removing organic compounds from the air for the odor delivery system.
  • As an organic sorbent to study adsorption equilibrium of ammonia gas.

The development of a general catalytic method for the direct and stereoselective construction of contiguous all-carbon quaternary stereocentres remains a formidable challenge in chemical synthesis. Here, we report a highly enantio- and diastereoselective [3+2] annulation reaction of 5-vinyloxazolidinones and activated

A typical way to quantify aboveground carbon in forests is to measure tree diameters and use species-specific allometric equations to estimate biomass and carbon stocks. Using "citizen scientists" to collect data that are usually time-consuming and labor-intensive can play a
