Methanol steam reforming plays a pivotal role to produce hydrogen for fuel cell systems in a low temperature range. To accomplish higher methanol conversion and lower CO production, the reaction was catalyzed by CuZnFe mixed oxides. Various ratios of Fe and Cu/Zn were coprecipitated in differential method to optimize the CuZnFe structure. The sample containing 45Cu50Zn5Fe (Wt. %) revealed its m...

Neutron scattering methods observed complete room temperature conversion of methanol to framework methoxy in a commercial sample of methanol-to-hydrocarbons (MTH) catalyst H-ZSM-5, evidenced by methanol immobility and vibrational spectra matched by ab initio calculations. No methoxylation was observed in a commercial HY sample, attributed to the dealumination involved in high silica HY synthesis.

Non-classical alternatives to the silver contact and Formox processes comprise thermal non-oxidative dehydrogenation of methanol, for which new catalysts are needed achieve high formaldehyde selectivity at conversion temperatures below 600 °C. The electro- or photocatalytic methanol is not applied either industrially but attractive because mild reaction conditions selectivities. Novel gas-phase...

ABSTRACT The successful development and application in industry of methanol-to-olefins (MTO) process brought about an innovative efficient route for olefin production via non-petrochemical resources also attracted attention C1 chemistry zeolite catalysis. Molecular sieve catalysts with diversified microenvironments embedding unique channel/cavity structure acid properties, exhibit demonstrable ...

Methyl formate is a key component for both defossilized industry and mobility. The current industrial production via carbonylation of methanol has various disadvantages such as high requirements on reactant purity low conversion rates. In addition, there great interest in replacing the conventional homogeneous catalyst with heterogeneous one, among other things to improve downstream processing....

a computational fluid dynamic (cfd) study of methanol (meoh) to dimethyl ether (dme) process in an adiabatic fixed-bed reactor is presented. one of the methods of industrial dme production is the catalytic dehydration of meoh. kinetic model was derived based on bercic rate. the parameters of this equation for a specific catalyst were tuned by solving a one-dimensional homogenous model using mat...

Background: Methanol is regarded as a biorenewable platform feedstock because nearly all bioresources can be converted into methanol through syngas. Biological conversion of methanol using synthetic methylotrophs has thus gained worldwide attention. Results: Herein, to endow Escherichia coli with the ability to utilize methanol, an artificial linear methanol assimilation pathway was assembled i...
