Methanol made from CO2 in the air can be transformed into carbon neutral fuels. A new mechanistic understanding aids development of this sustainable alternative. Methanol, produced from carbon dioxide ...

The heterogeneous reaction of thiols with lead oxide to form insoluble lead thiolates is the basis for a new process that separates thiols from a hydrocarbon stream. The process uses inexpensive ...

Many valued reagents and catalysts used in the preparation of organic compounds are highly reactive and are therefore incompatible with exposure to the open atmosphere — in some cases, dangerously so.

As a significant reaction in heterogeneous catalysis, methanol-to-hydrocarbon (MTH) conversion supplies a sustainable way for the production of important platform chemicals, e.g., olefins, gasoline ...

Chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a new way to turn carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into valuable liquid hydrocarbons, which are the main components of fuels ...

The solubility of water in cycloalkanes (cyclopentanes and cyclohexanes) found in crude oil as a function of temperature has been calculated. In addition, we have developed a new correlation for ...

Methanol, produced from carbon dioxide in the air, can be used to make carbon neutral fuels. But to do this, the mechanism by which methanol is turned into liquid hydrocarbons must be better ...
