Quantitative Design of a New e-Methanol Production Process

In the context of the need to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from personal transportation, a new process for the production of e-methanol is presented. It is a CO2 hydrogenation process, powered mainly by renewable energy sources such as pho ...

Grafting of Alkali Metals on Fumed Silica for the Catalytic Dehydrogenation of Methanol to Formaldehyde

Oliver Kröcher, Alimohammad Bahmanpour, Christophe Jean Baranowski, Jack Brandon

Water free, non-oxidative catalytic dehydrogenation of methanol to formaldehyde is an important process for the formation of anhydrous, molecular formaldehyde (FA). Sodium or sodium-containing salts were shown to catalyze the reaction, but their reaction m ...

Methanol production from CO(2)via an integrated, formamide-assisted approach

Paul Joseph Dyson, Andreas Züttel, Loris Giovanni Lombardo, Jorge Gustavo Uranga, Aswin Gopakumar, Gabriela Gastelu, Tim Pfister, Gunay Imanzade

The synthesis of fuels from CO2 has made tremendous progress in recent years, although practical applications remain limited. Herein, we describe a cyclic process that produces MeOH from CO(2)via formamide intermediates, which are initially reduced using N ...

MRI-based brain volumetry and retinal optical coherence tomography as the biomarkers of outcome in acute methanol poisoning

Tobias Kober, Bénédicte Marie Maréchal

Background: Basal ganglia lesions are typical findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain in survivors of acute methanol poisoning. However, no data are available on the association between the magnitude of damaged brain regions, serum concen ...

Methanol Poisoning as an Acute Toxicological Basal Ganglia Lesion Model: Evidence from Brain Volumetry and Cognition

Tobias Kober, Bénédicte Marie Maréchal

Background Acute methanol poisoning leads to optic neuropathy and necrotic lesions of basal ganglia (BG) and subcortical white matter. Survivors of methanol poisoning exhibit long-term executive and memory deficits. Associations between brain volumetry par ...

Renewable energy storage via CO2 and H-2 conversion to methane and methanol: Assessment for small scale applications

Andreas Züttel, Emanuele Moioli, Robin Tobias Andreas Mutschler

This study analyses the power to methane - and to methanol processes in the view of their efficiency in energy storage. A systematic investigation of the differences on the two production systems is performed. The energy storage potential of CO2 to methano ...

Selective synthesis of dimethyl ether on eco-friendly K10 montmorillonite clay

Jeremy Luterbacher, Oliver Kröcher, Florent Emmanuel Héroguel, Alimohammad Bahmanpour, Christophe Jean Baranowski

The methanol dehydration reaction was studied over environmentally benign, easily accessible and inexpensive K10 montmorillonite clay used as the catalyst at a temperature range between 200–700 °C. Nearly 100% selectivity towards dimethyl ether (DME) at 80 ...

Aqueous phase homogeneous formic acid disproportionation into methanol

Gabor Laurenczy, Katerina Stefania Sordakis

Herein we describe formic acid disproportionation into methanol with a homogeneous iridium catalyst. Methanol yields of up to 74% were obtained in D2O at 50 °C. Initial H2 pressures further enhanced methanol formation, resulting in a highly concentrated 9. ...

Multi-objective optimization of a sugarcane biorefinery for integrated ethanol and methanol production

François Maréchal, Adriano Viana Ensinas, Emanuela Peduzzi, Priscilla Caliandro, Sandro Onorati

The present study evaluates a sugarcane biorefinery producing ethanol through juice fermentation and methanol via gasification of sugarcane lignocellulosic residues and liquid fuel synthesis. Two technologies of gasification named entrained flow and circul ...

Investigation of the effects of methanol presence on characteristics of sulfonated aromatic electrolyte membranes: Molecular dynamics simulations

Mohammad Mahdi Hasani-Sadrabadi

Effects of methanol solvent on characteristics of water-methanol solvated sulfonated poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (SPPO) membranes were investigated at different methanol concentrations and temperatures using molecular dynamics simulations. Simul ...
