Methods for block functionalization of carbon nanotubes and applications
(2019-05-10)
This work has shown a method to produce block functionalized carbon nanotubes, BF-CNTs, with polymer covalently grafted to the sidewall with a selectivity along the length of the nanotube. This selectivity is reversible ...
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis on carbon nanotube-supported catalysts in water-in-oil emulsion
(2013-12-04)
Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) is an important gas-to-liquids technology in the modern energy industry. The current trend is to carry it out in liquid reaction media in order to take advantage of good heat transfer, high ...
FISCHER-TROPSCH SYNTHESIS ON HYDROPHOBIC CATALYSTS IN BIPHASIC MEDIA
(2018-12-14)
Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis stands out as a relevant alternative technology for the production of liquid fuels. Natural gas, coal, biomass and other carbon-containing raw materials can be converted to syngas (CO and ...
Catalytic Reactions for Upgrading Bio-oils and Petroleum Fuels
(2010)
The increasing consumption and phase-out of conventional fuels has derived the tremendous interest of our society in making uses of renewable energy resources such as biomass. In response to this interest, bio-oil produced ...
Developing Selective Conversion of Oxygenates through a Combined Experimental and Computational Approach
(2019-12)
Hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis reaction and solvent effect on catalytic reactions have been carried out traditionally in batch reactors under high temperature , and pressure conditions in the presence of hydrogen gas fed ...
MOLECULAR ENGINEERING STRATEGIES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF FUELS FROM CONVENTIONAL AND RENEWABLE RESOURCES
(2009)
The combination of Quantitative Structure Property Relationships (QSPR) with experimental studies using model compounds provides great promise for fuel upgrading. Through this approach, QSPR software is utilized to predict ...
UPGRADING OF BIOMASS-DERIVED MOLECULES FOR FUELS VIA HYDRODEOXYGENATION ON SUPPORTED METALS
(2010)
Biomass-derived molecules such as aldehydes and alcohols have been upgraded to more valuable products via hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation on supported metals. For unsaturated aldehydes, the competitive hydrogenation ...
FUNDAMENTAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE INTERFACIAL PHENOMENA INVOLVED IN THE CATALYSIS AT THE WATER-OIL INTERFACE OF NANOHYBRID-STABILIZED EMULSIONS
(2012)
The development of reactive-separation processes in which products are separated from the reaction media (i.e. reactants and catalysts) in a single reaction unit is prized by energy and chemicals industries for its simplicity ...
