In the process, fermentation of sugars produces itaconic acid, which undergoes catalytic hydrogenation to produce 3-methyltetrahydrofuran (MTHF). Natural rubber is the precipitated polymer chain product (~10 6 Da) obtained from the latex of rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) as an important material for automobile tires.

Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells require precise temperature and moisture controls to be at their best. Specifically, the researchers used synchrotron-based micro X‐ray computed tomography (CT) to visualize and to quantify the water distribution within gas diffusion layers subject to a thermal gradient.

A process for the synthesis of 1,5-pentanediol (1,5-PD) with 84% yield from furfural is developed, utilizing dehydration/hydration, ring-opening tautomerization, and hydrogenation reactions. This enhanced reactivity is a result of the ring-opening tautomerization to 5-hydoxyvaleraldehyde and subsequent hydrogenation to 1,5-PD.

It is currently contemplated that Gevo will ship the first gallons of ATJ to the Virgin Australia Group in October 2017. Hydrogen gas, a byproduct of the aromatization reaction, is used to remove unsaturated bonds in the aliphatic material. Gevo will supply the ATJ from its hydrocarbon plant based in Silsbee, Texas.

Licht (2017). The carbon footprint of the energy cost to produce the CNTs from CO 2 is insignificant when nuclear or solar, wind or hydro renewable energy is used to drive the electrolysis, and is only a small fraction of the electricity generated when natural gas is used to drive the electrolysis. —Licht (2017).

Lignin is a structural bio-polymer which contributes to the rigidity of plants. During these thermochemical processes, the residual lignin is converted to fluid intermediates (gas or oil) which are then catalytically upgraded to hydrocarbon fuels, thereby upgrading low-value lignin to a transportable liquid bunker fuel. 7b00968.

A team at University College London (UCL) has used a lung-inspired approach to designing flow fields to improve significantly the performance of polymer electrolyte fuel cells. The final generation of H-shaped branches of the N = 3 and N = 4 flow-fields were left open to create additional contact area between the gas channel and the GDL.

The dissolution process generates hydrogen gas, which could be captured and used to help fuel the heating step. The polymer separation membranes conventionally used in these batteries cannot withstand the high temperatures generated by certain failure scenarios. The dissolved lithium can be recovered and reused.

Natural gas producers want to draw all the methane they can from a well while sequestering as much carbon dioxide as possible; filters optimize either carbon capture or methane flow, but no single filter will do both. The challenge is to capture as much carbon as possible while allowing methane to flow through at typical wellhead pressures.
