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 ...

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.

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 ...

FEW men are more widely known or popular at gatherings of petroleum technologists than Gus Egloff, largely on account of his immense knowledge of his subject and his willingness to impart it to others ...

It’s pretty easy to grow vast quantities of microbes. It’s a lot harder to convert those microbes into something useful. For example, we’ve engineered algae that, when starved for nitrogen, will put ...

Fuel such as gasoline is made up of hydrocarbons -- a family of molecules consisting entirely of carbon and hydrogen. Pigment and dye, coal and tar are made up of hydrocarbons too. These common, ...

A 3D model of a sheet of hydrocarbon chains that form a honeycomb pattern. Each side of the honeycomb contains three benzene ...

Global levels of ethane and propane in the atmosphere have been underestimated by more than 50 percent, new research has revealed. These hydrocarbons are particularly harmful in large cities where, ...

image: RECENT PROGRESS IN THE REACTION MECHANISM OF MTH REACTION, INCLUDING THE FORMATION AND EVOLUTION OF THE FIRST C-C BOND SPECIES, IS EMPHASIZED. BASED ON THE REACTION MECHANISM, THE CATALYST ...
