Recent developments in separation enhanced reaction processes using membranes and adsorbents, highlighted here, have proven their potential for carbon dioxide conversion to methanol dimethyl ether.

Bimetallic Mo-Fe and Mo-Co sulfide clusters were anchored on AI,O, and used for CO hydrogenation. In addition to methane, significant amounts of dimethyl ether were produced. The reaction orders obtained from power rate laws for methanation indicated that the surfaces of the catalytic ensembles were not completely saturated by CO, in contrast to the observations for most conventional CO hydroge...

The thermochemolytic behavior of 4-O-etherified cinnamyl alcohols and aldehydes in lignin was investigated in the presence of tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) (315 degrees C/4 s), using veratrylglycol-beta-(coniferyl alcohol) ether (1a), veratrylglycol-beta-(sinapyl alcohol) ether (1b), and veratrylglycol-beta-(coniferyl aldehyde) ether (2). The methylated products were monitored with gas c...

Thermal conductivity of liquids and liquid mixtures has been a subject of active and considerable interest because of its technological applications as well as for providing an insight into the various molecular processes. Similarly, a study of thermal conductivity of liquids and liquid mixtures, at varying temperature and pressure, is of significance due to its applicability in process design,...
