The small molecule consisting of two carbon atoms and four hydrogen atoms is a basic building block in the manufacture of a wide range of basic chemicals, polymers and plasticisers. China has large coal reserves, and methanol can be manufactured quite easily by gasifying coal. ACS Central Science doi: 10.1021/acscentsci.5b00226.

Chemists at the University of Illinois report the development of a nickel-based homogeneous catalyst that could more effectively support the production of fuels and chemical feedstocks from biomass as well as improved liquefaction of coal. A paper on their work is published in the current issue of Science. —Sergeev and Hartwig.

In the new UMass approach, the hydroprocessing increases the intrinsic hydrogen content of the pyrolysis oil, producing polyols and alcohols. The zeolite catalyst then converts these hydrogenated products into light olefins and aromatic hydrocarbons in a yield as much as three times higher than that produced with the pure pyrolysis oil.

The TOMO manufacturing platform enables rapid, cost-effective development and production of high performance products made from metals, ceramics, polymers and composite material systems. Improved airfoils can tolerate higher gas temperatures and/or use less cooling air, resulting in improved energy efficiency.

Lignin is a complex chemical compound (a cross-linked amorphous phenolic polymer) and is the biomass component with highest energy content (9,000 - 11,000 Btu/lb compared to 7,300 - 7,500 for cellulose, Johnson 2002). It has been our goal all along to make our process as integrated and sustainable as possible. —Dr.
