  1. 1. Stability improvement to a ruthenium catalyst for partial oxidation of methane

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Melker Axelsson; [2023]
    Keywords : catalysis; reaction engineering; kinetics; partial oxidation; chemical engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Catalytic partial oxidation of methane (CPOM) is an energy-efficient alternative to steam reforming, the currently prevailing method for energy production from natural gas. Hulteberg Chemistry & Engineering AB has developed a catalyst for the partial oxidation of methane into syngas, for use in solid oxide fuel cells. READ MORE

  3. 2. Characterization of NiMo catalysts with noble metal promoters

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Filip Hallböök; [2023]
    Keywords : Catalysis; Hydrodeoxygenation; TPR; NiMo-catalysts; Chemical engineering; Chemistry;

    Abstract : To be able to face the challenges brought on by climate change there is an urgent need to reduce the heavy dependence on fossil fuels. Bio-oil is one such renewable and carbon-neutral replacement that has shown promising potential. A key step in making bio-oil commercially feasible is improvements of the upgrading processes of the bio-oil. READ MORE

  4. 3. Prospective Life Cycle Assessment of an Electrochemical Hydrogenation Process Over a Nickel Foam Cathode

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Hanson Appiah-Twum; [2022]
    Keywords : Scale-up; early process design; catalysis; environmental impact; hotspot analysis; green chemistry;

    Abstract : The need for a safe and sustainable chemical industry has called for the development of emerging technologies with improved environmental performance. In this study, an emerging electrochemical hydrogenation process over Ni foam is being developed at the laboratory scale with an expectation of less environmental impacts than a conventional palladium on carbon hydrogenation process.

  5. 4. Stereoselective synthesis of unnatural α-amino acids through photoredox catalyzed C–H activation

    University essay from KTH/Kemi

    Author : Ludwig Wåhlin; [2021]
    Keywords : photoredox catalysis; C–H functionalization; hydrogen atom transfer; unnatural amino acids; radicals; fotoredoxkatalys; C–H-funktionalisering; väteatomsöverföring; icke-naturliga aminosyror; radikaler;

    Abstract : Fotoredoxkatalys har nyligen genomgått en renässans inom organisk kemi då metoden har möjliggjort framtagandet utav nya reaktionsvägar med milda reaktionsbetingelser genom att använda sig av synligt ljus. I det här arbetet undersöktes metodens bredd genom att kombinera metoden med väteatomöverföringskatalys för att funktionalisera C–H bindningar i α-position till heteroatomer och på så sätt skapa icke-naturliga α-aminosyror.

  6. 5. A model for heterogenic catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide to methanol

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Elin Johannesson; [2020]
    Keywords : Carbon dioxide; methanol; heterogeneous catalysis; zinc oxide; computational chemistry; density functional theory;

    Abstract : Since our society became industrialised, the levels of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere have been steadily rising, to the point where it in early 2020 at is 413 ppm. The high concentration is causing several troubling effects worldwide because of the increase in mean temperature that it creates, which causes longer draughts, more severe floods, and rising seawater levels to name a few.
