This review provides recent advances in the conversion of CO2 to methanol, methanol hydrocarbons, and direct hydrocarbons via intermediate over various monofunctional bifunctional solid catalysts.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a major class of organic hydrocarbons with high molecular weight that originate from both natural and anthropogenic sources. Sixteen PAHs are included in the U.S Environmental Protection agency list of priority pollutants due to their mutagenic, carcinogenic, toxic and teratogenic properties. In this study, the development and optimization of a simpli...

The methanol to hydrocarbon process, discovered about 40 years ago, uses zeolites to catalyze the shape selective conversion of methanol to a mixture of hydrocarbons. It has recently gained very much interest, as it allows the conversion of fossil and renewable carbon sources, via synthesis gas and methanol, to a mixture of hydrocarbons. The composition of this hydrocarbon mixture may range fro...

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.

Objective: The present investigation was an attempt to study the anticancer activity of the methanol extract of the leaves of H. hookerianum. GC-MS analysis revealed that the methanol extract of leaves contained important secondary metabolites viz. oxygenated hydrocarbons and phenolic hydrocarbons. These phytochemicals w e r e p r e s u m e d responsible for various pharmacological actions like...

The application of neutron scattering techniques (inelastic scattering, quasi-elastic and diffraction) to explore concepts connected with the methanol-to-hydrocarbon reaction over zeolite ZSM-5 are considered.

Adsorption and conversion of various hydrocarbons on monolithic hydrocarbon adsorbers were studied using a new experimental model, temperature-programmed adsorption (TPA). In this study, methyl alcohol, acetone, acetaldehyde, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, n-octane, and toluene were chosen as model hydrocarbons for cold start of a vehicle. The effect of the hydrocarbon components and oxygen concentrat...
