Thermodynamics conditions for Guerbet ethanol reaction

Thermodynamics conditions for Guerbet ethanol reaction

Ethanol (EtOH) is now produced from fermentation of carbohydrates [1]. Guerbet reaction is a possible way to couple C-C bonds of aliphatic alcohols towards higher carbon skeleton molecules that are suitable for diesel, gasoline, aviation fuel and chemicals [2–4]. When vaporized EtOH is contacted to solids at temperatures near 673.15 K, a lot of different products are obtained containing olefins...

Thermodynamics and Reaction Rates

Thermodynamics has established in chemistry principally as a science determining possibility and direction of chemical transformations and giving conditions for their final, equilibrium state. Thermodynamics is usually thought to tell nothing about rates of these processes, their velocity of approaching equilibrium. Rates of chemical reactions belong to the domain of chemical kinetics. However,...

Thermodynamics of Random Reaction Networks

Reaction networks are useful for analyzing reaction systems occurring in chemistry, systems biology, or Earth system science. Despite the importance of thermodynamic disequilibrium for many of those systems, the general thermodynamic properties of reaction networks are poorly understood. To circumvent the problem of sparse thermodynamic data, we generate artificial reaction networks and investi...
