Application of alumina-based nanogold catalysts in gas mask and CO2 laser

Qi C., Su H., Sun X., Guan R., Lin H., Sun X., Zheng Y., An L., Yantai Univeristy, CN

We have found that Au nanoparticles on Al2O3 (a popular commercially available support material) show surprisingly high activities for CO oxidation when properly prepared [6-11]. Our proprietary catalyst, Au deposited on a ferrite-modified alumina prepared [...]

Organometallic Ruthenium Nanoparticles as a Model of study for Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis Reaction

Martinez-Prieto L.M., Philippot K., Chaudret B., CNRS, FR

The development of more active and/or selective catalysts for industrial application of the Fischer Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) process is still an ongoing field of research.In this context, Ru nanoparticles that are expected to provide more [...]

Gold nanoclusters for air purification applications

Mendoza E., Goldemar Solutions, US

Nowadays, public concern and the enforcement of environmental regulations by governments have made it necessary to develop versatile materials capable of efficiently eliminating a wide range of organic pollutants from both indoor and outdoor emissions. [...]

A Green & Clean Process for the Production of Methacrylic Acid and Methacrolein from Biofuel

Lin M.M., Grinberg J., Eng W., EverNu Technology, LLC, US

The modern consumption of fossil fuels for chemical production contributes to global warming and other nature disasters in recent years. Approximately 10% of U.S. crude oil imports are used to feed its chemical industry. There [...]

$/W Costs of Thermoelectric Waste-Heat Recovery for Stationary Applications

LeBlanc S., Yee S.K., Scullin M., George Washington University, US

Interest in thermoelectrics for waste-heat recovery has flourished in recent years, but questions about cost and scalability remain unanswered. Prior work investigated the materials, manufacturing, and system costs and thermal and electrical transport factors that [...]

STEP, Efficient solar syntheses: A comprehensive approach to decreasing the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide

Lau J., Licht S., Stuart J., Li F-F, Licht S., Meng F., George Washington University, US

The Solar Thermal Electrochemical Process (STEP) was introduced to provide a complete solution to lowering carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (1). STEP utilizes a synergy of thermal and electrochemical energy to drive endothermic processes at [...]

SUSTAINABLE steel production for the 2030s and beyond: the vision of the European Steel Technology Platform’s Strategic Research Agenda

Birat J.P., Malfa E., Colla V., Thomas J.S., ESTEP, BE

Steel is ubiquitous, even if it often remains invisible underneath decorative, protective or functional layers of other materials. This paper presents the European Steel Technology Platform (ESTEP) Strategic Research Agenda’s vision of how to manage [...]
