Methanol-to-olefins (MTO) process, an innovative and efficient route for olefin production via non-petrochemical resources, has achieved successful development and application in industry and ...

Researchers have developed a new process that uses microwave flow reaction and recyclable solid catalysts to efficiently hydrolyze polysaccharides into simple sugars. The developed device utilizes a ...

Scientists have demonstrated the selective conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into methanol using a cascade reaction strategy. The two-part process is powered by sunlight, occurs at room temperature ...

New research shows how gold helps transform plant-based ethanol into useful industrial chemicals with fewer emissions and lower energy use.

Scientists have found a way to turn carbon dioxide and methane, the two most notorious greenhouse gases, into useful chemicals without any expensive catalysts, using only light. Carbon dioxide and ...

As a significant reaction in heterogeneous catalysis, methanol-to-hydrocarbon (MTH) conversion supplies a sustainable way for the production of important platform chemicals, e.g., olefins, gasoline ...

A simple diagram of the chemical process in the device developed by the research team. In their system, a solution of the disaccharide cellobiose (left) is passed through a sulfonated carbon catalyst ...
