Abstrsct—An enzyme system capable of oxidizing both methanol and ethanol in the 0 presence of DPN was purified almost nine ty-fold from the liver of the rhesus monkey. Data for theK, values for the two alcohols and DPN and for the R values in the presence of some inhibitors are presented. The enzyme ap rs to be identical to liver alcohol hydrogenase AD 1. Eihlili competitively inhibited the oxi...

Although methanol synthesis via CO hydrogenation has been industrialized, CO2 hydrogenation to methanol still confronts great obstacles of low methanol selectivity and poor stability, particularly for supported metal catalysts under industrial conditions. We report a binary metal oxide, ZnO-ZrO2 solid solution catalyst, which can achieve methanol selectivity of up to 86 to 91% with CO2 single-p...

The labile germylene hydride L(Cy)GeH is capable of activating CO2 affording the corresponding formate L(Cy)GeOCH([double bond, length as m-dash]O) (2) (L(Cy) = cyclo-C6H8-1-NAr-2-C(Ph)NAr, Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H3). Compound and the previously reported LGeOCH([double bond, length as m-dash]O) (L = CH(MeC[double bond, length as m-dash]NAr)2, Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H3) (2) could be further converted to methano...

Neuropeptides are the largest class of signaling molecules used by nervous systems. Today, neuropeptide discovery commonly involves chemical extraction from a tissue source followed by mass spectrometric characterization. Ideally, the extraction procedure accurately preserves the sequence and any inherent modifications of the native peptides. Here, we present data showing that this is not alway...

In this work an integrated facility is proposed that produces methanol from switchgrass and uses the captured CO2 to enhance the production capacity by 50% via CO2 hydrogenation. The process consists of two sections, biomass processing to syngas and its conversion to methanol, and the electrolytic section where hydrogen is produced to hydrogenate the CO2 that has been captured during syngas cle...

As a significant reaction in heterogeneous catalysis, methanol-to-hydrocarbon (MTH) conversion supplies sustainable way for the production of important platform chemicals, e.g., olefins, gasoline and aromatics. Although many commercial MTO plants have already been operated China recently, catalytic efficiency, i.e., olefins selectivity catalyst lifetime still need to be improved. Consequently, ...
