A novel reactor concept for thermal integration of naphtha reforming with propane ammoxidation

Alimohammad Bahmanpour, Samira Ebrahimian

In this study, propane ammoxidation as an exothermic process is thermally coupled with the endothermic naphtha reforming process which resulted in the elimination of the naphtha reforming furnaces. Both processes are available in petrochemical plants. Naph ...

High-pressure NMR spectroscopic and calorimetric studies on formic acid dehydrogenation and carbon dioxide hydrogenation

Cornel Fink

Our current energy production is convenient and simple, but it is not sustainable. The negative impacts on our environment are omnipresent in the form of smog, extinction of species, and global warming. A major challenge of our generation is the transition ...

Combined Exergy Analysis and Energy Integration for the Optimization of Nitrogen Fertilizer Plants

François Maréchal, Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego, Shivom Sharma

Modern ammonia production plants are equipped with efficient energy integration networks able to recover an important fraction of the enthalpy of reaction released by the exothermic chemical systems. However, to fully supply the exergy demands of the highl ...

Alkali Activation of AOD Stainless Steel Slag Under Steam Curing Conditions

Muhammad Salman, Ruben Anton Snellings

Crystalline argon oxygen decarburization slag, in powdery form, was investigated for its hydration potential by alkali activation and curing at 80 degrees C. Na-silicate and K-silicate of the same modulus were used as activators. Isothermal calorimetry at ...

Fine structuration of low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) microreactors

Paul Muralt, Albert Renken, Bo Jiang, Lioubov Kiwi, Thomas Maeder, Julien Haber

The development of microreactors that operate under harsh conditions is always of great interest for many applications. Here we present a microfabrication process based on low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology for producing microreactors which ...

Heat Management for Process Intensification of Fast Exothermic Reactions in Microstructured Reactors

Julien Haber

Nowadays, the production in fine chemical and pharmaceutical industry is mostly carried out in large scale batch reactors having typically dimensions of a few meters to satisfy the demand of the market. Even though this technology has been widely used and ...

Role of Environment for Catalysis of the DNA Repair Enzyme MutY

Ursula Röthlisberger, Jeremy Samuel Arey, Elizabeth Claire Brunk

Control of the N-glycosylase reaction by the DNA repair enzyme, MutY, entails the organization of solvent molecules. Classical molecular dynamics and QM/MM simulations were used to investigate the solvent and environment effects contributing to catalysis. ...

The dependence of the proton-triton thermo-nuclear fusion reaction rate on the temperature and total energy content of the high-energy proton distribution function

Duccio Testa, Christian Schlatter

The endothermic nuclear reaction between thermal tritons and high-energy protons can represent an important contribution to the total neutron yield in tokamak plasmas heated by radio-frequency waves, as the first JET experiments have demonstrated (see Mant ...
