Chinese steel group Tsingshan investing $375M to build lithium plant in Argentina with Eramet

Green Car Congress

The project consists in extracting brine from the salar and processing it into lithium carbonate. Purification of the lithium, then reaction with sodium carbonate to convert it to lithium carbonate. To further concentrate the metal obtained, two successive processes are then conducted: nanofiltration and reverse osmosis.

Researchers in China develop new process for direct synthesis of drop-in jet-fuel-range blendstock from lignocellulose

Green Car Congress

Researchers in China have developed an integrated two-bed continuous flow reactor process for the direct synthesis with high carbon yields (~70%) of dodecanol (C 12 H 26 O) or 2,4,8- trimethylnonane (C 12 H 26 O 2 )—a jet-fuel-range C 12 branched alkane—from methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), which can be derived from lignocellulose.
