A highly selective carbon-carbon bond-forming transformation of carbon dioxide (CO2) to alcohol oxidation level has been disclosed. By employing a copper/bisphosphine catalyst system and hydrosilanes as mild and easy-to-handle reducing agents, various allenes can be reacted with CO2 to regioselectively obtain homoallylic alcohols. Esters and other reducible functionalities on the allenes remain...

elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide and other green house gases have increased the earth temperature in recent century, which it affects all biochemistry cycles in soils. to examine the effect of atmospheric co2 concentration and temperature on n forms in soil solution in a calcareous soil, an experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with factorial arrangement in the laborator...

Pineapples (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.) cultivation on drained peats could affect the release of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere and also the leaching of dissolved organic carbon (DOC). Carbon dioxide emission needs to be partitioned before deciding on whether cultivated peat is net sink or net source of carbon. Partitioning of CO2 emission into root respiration, microbial respiration, ...

The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increasing continuously. Its accumulation in the air is one of the major causes of global warming and the change at equilibrium condition of weather and the environment. Utilization of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to produce useful chemicals could be a suitable solution to this problem. CO2 is not just a greenhouse gas, but also an ...

A mixture of 1and 2-butanol was produced using a stepwise synthesis starting with a methyl halide. The process included a carbon dioxide utilization step to produce an acetate salt which was then converted to the butanol isomers by Claisen condensation of the esterified acetate followed by hydrogenation of the resulting ethyl acetoacetate. Importantly, the CO2 utilization step uses dry, dilute ...

Carbon dioxide (written as CO2) releases from fossil fuels cause climate change, a warming of the earth that causes more intense heat waves, extreme weather, and other negative impacts on our world. How can we stop future climate change? One option is to remove CO2 from the air around us. Here, we describe an original carbon dioxide removal technology called bioenergy with carbon capture and se...

carbon dioxide is a major greenhouse gas that contributes to the global warming by more than %60. absorption has been widely used to treat high concentrations of co2 in synthesis gas production, hydrogen manufacturing, and natural gas processing. the most well established method to capture co2 is its removal by absorption into amine solutions in the presence of activators. in this research, co2...

Eggs of Anagasta kuehniella (Zeller 1879) are widely used for mass rearing of Trichogramma spp. and other parasitoids and predators, largely commercialized in many countries. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of carbon dioxide (CO2) originated from larval metabolism on the biological parameters of A. kuehniella. For that purpose, we assess the production of carbon dioxide (CO2) pe...

This work studied the effect of additions of carbon dioxide to argon shielding gas on the weld shape and microstructure of ST14 steel in pulsed Nd: YAG laser welding. By additions of carbon dioxide up to 15%,the weld area and depth/width ratio decreases while rising of carbon dioxide up to 25% causes increasing of weld area and depth/width ratio. It is observed that the weld metal microstructur...
