A morpholine alkaline basic ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methyl morpholine hydroxide ([Hnmm]OH) was synthesized and characterized by ¹H NMR and FT-IR. [Hnmm]OH is highly active in catalyzing the synthesis of biodiesel from the reaction of methanol with soybean oil. The influence of the reaction conditions, including the [Hnmm]OH catalyst amount, the molar ratio of methanol to soybean oil, reacti...

Abstract A demonstration plant designed for methanol synthesis with steel mill gases was operated continuously the first time over a period of 5 weeks. The reactor represents single tube typical dimensions an industrial bundle boiling water cooling jacket and is incorporated into full loop unreacted gases. Temperature profile along axis gas composition in recycle stream are measured online. In ...

From the gasification of biomass, produced gas mainly consists CO, H2, CO2, and CH4. After cleaning conditioning, syngas obtained can be used to produce methanol, dimethyl ether, polymers, biofuels, etc. Methanol is one important industrial chemicals that directly as a fuel or blended into conventional fuels. from renewable biomass sources limit greenhouse emissions. Based on data composition e...

Cationic tri-tert-butylphosphinegold(I) serves as a catalyst in the sila-Cope rearrangement of acetylenic allylsilanes. When phenol is employed as a nucleophile, the reaction allows for the stereoselective synthesis of vinylsilanes. Alternatively, use of methanol as a nucleophile leads to cyclic vinylsilanes, which can be viewed as latent vinylsilanes that are revealed on treatment with a mild ...

Antifungal activity of air contaminant bacterial isolate was evaluated against Curvularia specie at different pH and temperature. The bacterial isolate was found to be active at 7.0 pH and 30°C and preferred inulin and starch as carbon source. The inhibitory antifungal compound was eluted in water and methanol that exhibited good activity as compared to other solvents. The methanol extracts of ...

To investigate the kinetics of methanol synthesis from a mixture CO2/CO/H2, computational fluid dynamics model has been developed, incorporating two distinct kinetic models, one which includes CO hydrogenation and does not.

The synthesis of biodiesel from sunflower oil and methanol based on transesterification using the immobilized lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosus (Lipozyme TL-IM) has been investigated under silent conditions and under an ultrasound field. Ultrasound assisted process led to reduced processing time and requirement of lower enzyme dosage. We found for the first time that oil to methanol ratio of ...
