Light alkanes and alkenes are abundant but are underutilized as energy carriers because of their high volatility and low energy density. A tandem catalytic approach for the coupling of alkanes and alkenes has been developed in order to upgrade these light hydrocarbons into heavier fuel molecules. This process involves alkane dehydrogenation by a pincer-ligated iridium complex and alkene dimeriz...

ion reactions reach their maximum rates, however, in the high-temperature region, where thermal decomposition reactions are also most active. Formation and Consumption of Other Olefins. Despite the model-dependent differences in reactions of heptene isomers, the chemistry of other olefins is very similar for all three mechanisms, especially for larger olefins. Reactions that involve oxygenated ...

The selective separation of aromatics (benzene, toluene and p-xylene, BTX) from aliphatic (n-heptane) is investigated using simple permeation and facilitated transport emulsion liquid membrane mechanism. The separation performances, represented by the permeation rate and separation factor, are analyzed systematically by varying the operating parameters. One of the major obstacles to the applica...

A kinetic mechanism of 1011 elementary reactions with 171 chemical species for n-heptane ignition is analysed and reduced to 4 global steps with adjusted rate coefficients to describe ignition at pressures around 40 atm. Two of these steps account for the high temperature branch and the other two for the low temperature branch of the ignition mechanism. The ignition delay time passes through a ...

A purified alkaline thermo-tolerant bacterial lipase from Bacillus cereus MTCC 8372 was immobilized on a Poly (MAc-co-DMA-cl-MBAm) hydrogel. The hydrogel showed approximately 94% binding capacity for lipase. The immobilized lipase (2.36 IU) was used to achieve esterification ofmyristic acid and isopropanol in n-heptane at 65 degrees C under continuous shaking. The myristic acid and isopropanol ...

In this work has been proposed a numerical scheme with the aim of simulate the coalescence process between water drops immersed in a continuous phase (n-heptane). This numerical scheme is based in the Finite Volume method and two different values for the initial velocity of the drops were chosen. Depending of the initial velocity of collision some scenarios emerge, such as: permanent coalescenc...
