This study explores the relation between catalyst research and chemical reaction engineering for developing ethanol to butadiene (ETB) technologies. An ETB process involves two distinct steps: ethanol dehydrogenation to acetaldehyde and butadiene syn...
Process intensification has gained significant importance during the last few years because of its potential to develop innovative structures with improved energy efficiency and better economics. One approach that has been developed in this field is...
Lifecycle analysis was used to estimate well-to-wheel greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the production, transport, and use of oxygenated gasoline in Colombia, Japan, and France. The study evaluated fuel blends containing ethanol and/or e...
The direct selective conversion of ethanol to butadiene (ETB) is a competitive and environmentally friendly process compared to the traditional crude cracking route. The acid–base properties of catalysts are crucial for the direct ETB process....
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacterial complex Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Despite the decline in the incidence and mortality of this disease over the years, the emergence of new strains of tuberculosis resistant to existing tu...
This work evaluates the direct etherification of bio-sourced isobutylene with ethanol forming fully renewable ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE). Challenge was the use of the fermentative produced substrate in a solvent-free catalysis using the acidic ion...
The use of digital audio-based learning applications in classrooms is increasing. Thus, instructional technology professionals need to become more skilled in designing and developing these apps. To succeed in the future learning process, students stu...
Tezosentan is a vasodilator drug that was originally developed to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension. It acts by inhibiting endothelin (ET) receptors, which are overexpressed in many types of cancer cells. Endothelin-1 (ET1) is a substance produce...
1,3-Butadiene is traditionally produced as a byproduct of ethylene production from steam crackers. What is unusual is that the alternative production route for this important commodity chemical via ethanol was developed a long time ago, before World...
The present study assesses, using a theoretical approach, the performances of two widely used fixed-bed reactors for the ethanol-to-butadiene (ETB) one-stage (Lebedev) process: multibed adiabatic reactors (MBAR) with inter-bed heating and a multitubu...
Background: Staphylococcus aureus is a major zoonotic and foodborne pathogen with substantial One Health implications, yet its prevalence, resistance, and virulence potential within the aquaculture sector in Nigeria remains poorly characterized....
In New Zealand, surplus dairy-origin calves not needed as replacement or for beef cattle farms requirements for finishing are commercially slaughtered within two weeks of age. This system has perceived ethical issues which can potentially negatively...
