Alginic acid, a naturally occurring anionic polyelectrolyte, forms strong physically cross-linked hydrogels in the presence of metal cations. The latter engage in electrostatic interactions that compete with intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds, determ ...

Biomass gasification is one of the primary thermal conversion processes where fluidized bed reactors are often used to produce syngas with low heating values. However, there has not yet been an effective model to predict gasification yield with broad appli ...

Hydrogen (H-2) has been widely considered the clean energy carrier of choice for emerging renewable energy generation technologies. However, H-2 is a secondary fuel mainly derived from natural gas. Over the past decades, research on developing H-2 producti ...

The carbonylation of bio-based dimethyl ether (DME) using ferrierite offers a renewable approach to methyl acetate (MA) production with a potential reduction in carbon emissions. This work showcases the feasibility of employing fluidized-bed reactors in th ...

A novel autothermal methane-reforming limestone-calcination process is analyzed through thermodynamic and kinetic investigations to yield syngas for direct ammonia production. A comprehensive correlation is developed to determine the required gaseous feed ...

Modifying the properties of bio-based materials has garnered increasing interest in recent years. In related applications, the ability of alginates to complex with metal ions has been shown to be effective in liquid-to-gel transitions, useful in the develo ...

The combination of limestone calcination, catalytic methane reforming, and combustion in one reactor (MRC–CAL) was previously proposed to achieve autothermal and hydrogen-producing sorbent regeneration for calcium-looping technology. However, this technolo ...

The present invention relates to a method for preparing an at least partially acetal-protected sugar involving the step of reacting a sugar or a sugar derivative selected from the group consisting of an aldopentose, an aldohexose, an aldopentoside and an a ...

Diol functionalization with acetals in carbohydrates and polyols is ubiquitously used in protection chemistry and in the manufacture of several platform chemicals. However, the selective functionalization of molecules where multiple acetalization reactions ...
