We live in a world where synthetic chemicals have become a part of our day-to-day life. As a result, some of these pollutants enter our water streams and food chain and interfere with the normal [...]

Novel Membrane Technology for Green Ethylene Production

Balachandran U., Lee T.H., Dorris S.E., Scouten C.G., Marshall C.L., Argonne National Laboratory, US

Today ethylene is produced (approximately 60 billion pounds in 2005 in U.S.A. alone) by thermal cracking of ethane in presence of steam requiring substantial energy input. The equilibrium conversion is thermodynamically limited. Because of direct [...]
