Electrochemical Production of Hydrocarbons for Lubricants, Waxes and Fuels from Biological Feedstocks

Joshi C., Malevich D., Dambacher J., Lockwood F., Altranex Corporation, CA

Altranex Corporation produces hydrocarbons from biologically-derived fats, oils and greases. Through a patented combination of electro- and thermo-chemical processes, Altranex can produce hydrocarbons for use as high-performance lubricant base oils, cosmetic-quality waxes and mineral oils, [...]

Nanopowders of TiO2 obtained by combustion reaction: effect of fuels

Almeida E.P., Coutinho J.P., Freitas N.L., Kiminami R.H.G.A., Costa A.C.F.M., Lira H.L., Universidade Federal de Campina Grande, BR

The synthesis by combustion reaction to obtain TiO2 has been studied by several researchers and using different fuels. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of fuel (citric acid monohydrate, aniline, oxalic dihidrazida and [...]

An “Atmospherically Healthy” Recipe for Carbon-Neutral Fuels: A synthetic fuel made from sunlight, CO2, and water

Littau K., Palo Alto Research Center (Parc), US

Although carbon capture and storage has been proposed as an effective means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, this is not a realistic solution for mobile emitters where the capture system would need to be carried [...]
