- Abstract:
- ... Configurational-bias Monte Carlo (CBMC) simulations in the isobaric–isothermal version of the Gibbs ensemble (GE) were carried out to probe the adsorption from aqueous solutions of methanol and/or ethanol onto silicalite-1. This methodology does require neither specification of the chemical potential nor any reference to activity models based on experimental data. The CBMC-GE methodology can be ap ...

- Abstract:
- ... Anaerobic fermentation can transform carbohydrates to yield a multicomponent mixture comprising mainly of acetone, 1-butanol, and ethanol (ABE) in a typical weight ratio of 3:6:1. Compared to ethanol, 1-butanol, the main product of ABE fermentation, offers significant advantages as a biofuel or a fuel additive. However, the toxicity of 1-butanol for cell cultures requires broth concentrations to b ...

- Abstract:
- ... High-spin iron(IV)–oxo compounds are known to activate strong C–H bonds. Stabilizing the high-spin S = 2 electronic configuration is difficult in molecular species for homogeneous catalysis, but recent experimental and computational results suggest this can be achieved in the metal–organic framework Fe₂(dobdc) (dobdc⁴– = 2,5-dioxido-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) and its magnesium-diluted analogues. Wi ...

- Abstract:
- ... A promising route for sustainable 1-butanol (butanol) production is ABE (acetone, butanol, ethanol) fermentation. However, recovery of the products is challenging because of the low concentrations obtained in the aqueous solution, thus hampering large-scale production of biobutanol. Membrane and adsorbent-based technologies using hydrophobic zeolites are interesting alternatives to traditional sep ...

- Abstract:
- ... Lignocellulosic biomass-derived ethanol offers a potential alternative to fossil-derived fuels. However, the energy-intensive nature of its recovery process, i.e., a sequence of two distillation columns – beer and rectification columns - enriching from 5 to 37, and 37–93wt%, respectively, limits its environmental and economic benefits. In this paper, we assess the potential of using zeolite membra ...
