They were able to convert amorphous polypropylene and everyday bags and bottles effectively to lubricants with yields up to 80+%. Quantification of critical properties, including pour point, kinematic viscosity, and viscosity index, indicates that the products are promising alternatives to currently used base or synthetic oils.

With tuning, the catalyst can achieve a selectivity of 80% toward motor oil (C 21 –C 45 ). Following this strategy, the selectivity of 80% toward motor oil (C 21 –C 45 ) can be achieved. A paper on their work is published in ChemSusChem. The work provides some guidelines for catalyst design in the field of plastic hydrocracking.

An open-access paper on the work is published in the RSC journal Green Chemistry. The team selected triolein as the model substrate for the photo-chemo-biocatalytic preparation of biogasoline from renewable feedstocks because it represents 98-99% of olive oil and up to 80% of high- oleic sunflower oil. —Xu et al.

Researchers at the University of Oxford have developed a method to convert CO 2 directly into aviation fuel using a novel, inexpensive iron-based catalyst. These are important raw materials for the petrochemical industry and are presently also only obtained from fossil crude oil.
