Surface Reaction Barriometry: Methane Dissociation on Flat and Stepped Transition-Metal Surfaces

Rainer Beck, Ana Gutiérrez González, Helen Jane Chadwick, Francesco Nattino

Accurately simulating heterogeneously catalyzed reactions requires reliable barriers for molecules reacting at defects on metal surfaces, such as steps. However, first- principles methods capable of computing these barriers to chemical accuracy have yet to ...

Methane Production of Full-Scale Anaerobic Digestion Plants Calculated from Substrate's Biomethane Potentials Compares Well with the One Measured On-Site

Christof Holliger, Gabrielle Hack

Biomethane potential (BMP) tests are used to determine the amount of methane that can be produced from organic materials in order to design different components of full-scale anaerobic digestion (AD) plants such as size of the digesters and units exploitin ...

Quantifying similarity of pore-geometry in nanoporous materials

Berend Smit, Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Senja Dominique Barthel, Yongjin Lee, Pawel Tadeusz Dlotko

In most applications of nanoporous materials the pore structure is as important as the chemical composition as a determinant of performance. For example, one can alter performance in applications like carbon capture or methane storage by orders of magnitud ...

Base-Free Transfer Hydrogenation with an Ionic-Liquid-Supported Ruthenium eta(6)-Arene Bis(pyrazolyl)methane Catalyst

Paul Joseph Dyson, Francisco Sepulveda, Andrew Douglas Phillips

Ruthenium complexes of the type [RuCl(eta(6)-arene)-(NN)]X (X = BF4 or BPh4) featuring an eta(6)-arene ligand modified with an imidazolium ring and incorporating the bis(azo) chelating (NN) ligands 2-hydroxyphenylbis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl) methane or 2- ...

Controls on subsurface methane fluxes and shallow gas formation in Baltic Sea sediment (Aarhus Bay, Denmark)

Sabine Flury McGinnis

Shallow gas accumulates in coastal marine sediments when the burial rate of reactive organic matter beneath the sulfate zone is sufficiently high and the methanogenic zone is sufficiently deep. We investigated the controls on methane production and free me ...

Material constraints related to storage of future European renewable electricity surpluses with CO2 methanation

Vincent Moreau, Suren Erkman

The main challenges associated with a growing production of renewable electricity are intermittency and dispersion. Intermittency generates spikes in production, which need to be curtailed when exceeding consumption. Dispersion means electricity has to be ...

Deconstructing Methane Emissions from a Small Northern European River: Hydrodynamics and Temperature as Key Drivers

Sabine Flury McGinnis

Methane (CH4) emissions from small rivers and streams, particularly via ebullition, are currently under-represented in the literature. Here, we quantify the methane effluxes and drivers in a small, Northern European river. Methane fluxes are comparable to ...

Invasive floating macrophytes reduce greenhouse gas emissions from a small tropical lake

Sabine Flury McGinnis

Floating macrophytes, including water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), are dominant invasive organisms in tropical aquatic systems, and they may play an important role in modifying the gas exchange between water and the atmosphere. However, these systems a ...

Validation of Novel Wobbe Index Sensor for Biogas Cogeneration

Peter Ryser, Gaël André Léon Farine, Thomas Maeder, Conor Joseph Slater

Biogas is a fuel made from the anaerobic digestion of organic material to form methane. It can be used to power a stationary engine to generate electricity making it a viable method of decentralised power generation from renewables. However, biogas is a mi ...

Operando XAS study of the influence of CO and NO on methane oxidation by Pd/Al2O3

Davide Ferri, Oliver Kröcher, Anton Petrov

Methane oxidation on Pd/Al2O3 has been investigated using operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at the Pd K-edge. The influence of CO and NO on methane abatement has been addressed performing temperature programmed reaction runs while recording simu ...
