Northwestern turns methane into methanol using "bottled lightning"
A small glass tube, a copper coating, and a burst of plasma no hotter than room temperature. That is the setup behind a new ...
Inside a submerged glass tube, tiny bolts of plasma pulse through bubbling methane gas. It looks like miniature lightning, ...
Professor Dayne Swearer found that bursts of plasma convert methane into methanol without high heat and pressures.
Enhancing with argon. To further enhance the process, the team diluted methane with argon, which is typically an inert noble ...
The findings potentially resolve a long-standing issue with methanol conversion, which has tended to be clunky, inefficient, ...
Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory developed a highly selective catalyst that converts methane to methanol in a single, low-temperature step, potentially simplifying industrial processes.
Methanol production from methane employing methanotrophs represents a rapidly evolving intersection of microbiology, chemical engineering and renewable energy research. This bioconversion approach ...
The optimal design of a novel zeolite catalyst enables tandem reaction that turns greenhouse gases into value-added chemicals, report scientists. By tuning the separation between different active ...
