Current methods for determining gas–liquid mass transfer or reaction performance in micropacked bed reactors (μPBRs) are inefficient and complex, hindering their application in high throughput screening, process optimization, and online monitoring. New fast determining technology is highly required. This study introduced an innovative soft measurement technology for reliable determining of gas–liquid

Catalytic epoxidation of tall oil, a Scandinavian raw material originating from the Kraft pulping process, was studied in this work. Conversely from the industrial process, the reaction was carried out via the hydroperoxide pathway, where the epoxidation of the double bonds takes place by hydrogen peroxide without the need for a reaction carrier. Metal oxide-modified SBA-15 catalysts were screened

Poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) copolyesters are indispensable components of degradable plastics, but their relatively low strength and barrier properties hamper their applications in daily life. Herein, poly(butylene adipate-co-carbonate-co-terephthalate) (PBACT) copolymers with different butylene adipate/butylene carbonate (A/C) content ratios were prepared by adding dimethyl carbonate

The only commercially viable technology available today for CO2 capture on an industrial scale is the amine absorption process. However, the capture cost is still significantly high and needs to be reduced to encourage more industries and businesses to implement the technology. One aspect of the process with a major scope of improvement is the absorber column. This research investigated the use of

Biobutanol offers promise as a biofuel and platform chemical. Renewable butanol can be synthesized from bioethanol via the Guerbet reaction, in which higher alcohols are produced from short-chain alcohols. This research addresses the design and implementation of the separation system for the complex azeotropic mixture arising from ethanol-based biobutanol production. Using established conceptual design
