A green' route to adipic acid: Direct oxidation of cyclohexenes with 30 percent hydrogen peroxide
TLDR
Cyclohexene can now be oxidized directly to colorless crystalline adipic acid with aqueous 30 percent hydrogen peroxide under organic solvent- and halide-free conditions, which could provide an ideal solution to this serious problem.Abstract:
Currently, the industrial production of adipic acid uses nitric acid oxidation of cyclohexanol or a cyclohexanol/cyclohexanone mixture. The nitrous oxide emission from this process measurably contributes to global warming and ozone depletion. Therefore, the development of an adipic acid production process that is less damaging to the environment is an important subject in chemical research. Cyclohexene can now be oxidized directly to colorless crystalline adipic acid with aqueous 30 percent hydrogen peroxide under organic solvent- and halide-free conditions, which could provide an ideal solution to this serious problem.read more

Future global warming from atmospheric trace gases
TL;DR: In the twenty-second century, the global average temperature may reach higher values than have occurred in the past 10 million years as discussed by the authors, if human activity this century has increased the concentrations of atmospheric trace gases, which in turn has elevated global surface temperatures by blocking the escape of thermal infrared radiation.

Nylon production: an unknown source of atmospheric nitrous oxide.
TL;DR: Characterization of the reaction N2O stoichiometry and its isotopic composition with a simulated industrial adipic acid synthesis indicates that because of high rates of global adipic Acid production, this N2o may account for ∼10 percent of the increase observed for atmospheric N2 O.
