Engineers at Iowa State University have developed a hybrid process that combines bio- and electrocatalysis to convert glucose into bio-based unsaturated nylon-6,6—which has the advantage of an extra double bond in its backbone that can be used to tailor the polymer’s properties. Hybrid conversion of glucose into UPA-6,6. Resources.

Dow’s agreement with New Energy Blue, staffed by experts with deep experience in bio-conversion ventures, is the first agreement in North America to generate plastic source materials from corn stover (stalks and leaves). This is also Dow’s first agreement in North America to utilize agriculture residues for plastic production.

Fe-MSN catalyzes the conversion of crude microalgal oil into diesel-range hydrocarbons. Smith, and Young-Jin Lee, began by using bi-functionalized mesostructured nanoparticles containing amine groups that capture free fatty acids and nickel nanoparticles that catalyze the conversion of the acids into green diesel.

University partners from the states of Washington, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Iowa will lead the projects, which focus in part on developing aviation biofuels from tall grasses, crop residues and forest resources. The project aims to develop a regional source of renewable aviation fuel for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

A preliminary mechanochemical experiment shows approximately 10% conversion of Al into AlH 3 or closely related species at 344 bar H 2 in the presence of catalytic Ti, a pressure much lower than the 104 bar expected from bulk thermodynamics. Resources. —Wang et al. Herwadkar, J. Johnson, S. Peña-Martin, A. Rockett, I.
