Conference Presentations - 2012 AIChE Annual Meeting

The motivation to switch the fossil fuels to an alternative fuel is an emerging area of research and development during the past decade. Hydrogen is a clean energy carrier for sustainable consumption that can be used in various goals such as raw materials in ammonia and methanol manufactures as...

5-Hydroxylmethylfurfural has garnered wide interest as a potential bio-based commodity chemical due to its multiple reactive groups and relatively easy formation from fructose and other sugars. For example HMF can be produced from fructose in DMSO in high yields; however the separation is difficult...

New reactor concept for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution under sunlight irradiation M. Schröder, M. Schwarze, K. Kailasam, A. Thomas, R. Schomäcker Technische Universität Berlin, Institut für Chemie, Straße des 17. Juni 124, 10623 Berlin The depletion of fossil fuels and increase of global warming...

Dry (CO 2 ) reforming of methane (DRM) to syngas (H 2 and CO) has been well-studied over a number of catalysts. The high temperatures needed to produce syngas inevitably result in carbon formation. Although pyrochlores are known to be thermally stable at conditions required for dry reforming, we...

Hallmark of a sustainable world is one wherein energy demands are consistently met with renewable energy sources. In this regards, hydrogen is often touted as the “magic” fuel of the future if it can be derived from renewable systems such as solar energy as the source of electrical potential...
