Investigation of Hydrogenation of Formic Acid to Methanol using H2 or Formic Acid as a Hydrogen Source

Gabor Laurenczy, Katerina Stefania Sordakis

Production of methanol (MeOH) from CO2 is strongly desired as a key chemical feedstock and a fuel. However, the conventional process requires elevated temperature and pressure, and high temperature restricts the productivity of MeOH due to equilibrium limi ...

Solvent Effects on the Encapsulation of Divalent Ions by Benzo-18-Crown-6 and Benzo-15-Crown-5

Thomas Rizzo, Yoshiya Inokuchi

We measure UV photodissociation (UVPD) spectra of cold benzo-15-crown-5 (B15C5) and benzo-18-crown-6 (B18C6) complexes with divalent ions (M2+ = Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, and Mn2+), solvated with an H2O or a CH3OH molecule: M2+·B15C5·H2O, M2+·B15C5·CH3OH, M2+·B18C ...

Influence of the Sparger Type and Added Alcohol on the Gas Holdup of an External-Loop Airlift Reactor

The influences of alcohol adding and three different gas spargers (single orifice, perforated plate, and sinter plate) on the gas holdup in an external-loop airlift reactor were studied. The experimental results show that the gas holdup can be increased by ...
