Direct upgrading of methane into value-added products is one of the most significant technologies for the effective transformation of hydrocarbon feedstocks in the chemical industry. Both oxidative and non-oxidative methane conversion are broadly use...
Methane is the fundamental raw material of the C1 chemical industry, with abundant reserves. Its direct conversion into high-value-added chemicals has great scientific significance and broad commercial potential for the efficient use of methane resou...
The characteristics of active sites on the surface of albite were theoretically analyzed by density functional theory, and the activation of the C-H bond of methane using an albite catalyst and the reaction mechanism of preparing C2 hydrocarbons by n...
This paper summarizes the latest research results on materials for the treatment of methane, an important greenhouse gas, and toluene, a volatile organic compound gas, as well as the utilization of these resources over the past two years. These mater...
The electrification of the petrochemical industry, imposed by the urgent need for decarbonization and driven by the incessant growth of renewable electricity share, necessitates electricity-driven technologies for efficient conversion of fossil fuels...
With the increasing role of hydrogen in the global market, new ways of hydrogen production are being sought and investigated. One of the possible solutions might be the plasma pyrolysis of methane. This approach provides not only the desired hydrogen...
Methane reforming is an important potential technology for solving both environmental and energy problems. This technology is important because methane is counted as a greenhouse gas, but on the other hand, it can be reformed into industrially valuab...
A plasma–catalyst hybrid system has been developed for the direct conversion of methane to C2+ hydrocarbons in dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma. TiO2 presented the highest C2+ yield of 11.63% among different dielectric materials when i...
Microwave-assisted heterogeneous catalysis (MHC) is gaining attention due to its exciting prospects related to selective catalyst heating, enhanced energy-efficiency, and partial inhibition of detrimental side gas-phase reactions. The induced tempera...
Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is one of the major processes of oxidizing methane in marine sediments. Up to now, extensive studies about AOM coupled to sulfate reduction have been conducted because SO42− is the most abundant electron acceptor...
Livestock and poultry manure emits substantial amounts of ammonia and non-CO2 greenhouse gases of nitrous oxide and methane, contributing simultaneously to climate forcing and air quality degradation. However, few studies have provided an integrated...
Earth’s atmospheric methane (CH4) concentration has risen more than 162% since pre-industrial levels in the mid-18th century, and about 30% of the rise in global temperatures since the pre-industrial era is due to CH4 The build-up of methane in...
Chemical–structural characteristics of three differently synthesized research-benchmark Mn-Na-W-Ox/SiO2 catalysts for the Oxidative Coupling of Methane (OCM) were systematically studied in this research. XRD, EDX, ICP-OES, and SEM/FIB-SEM techn...
This study is focused on mineralogical and chemical characterization of an authigenic carbonate rock (crust) collected at a recently discovered cold seep on the US North Atlantic continental margin. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron micro...
The accumulation of energy from non-programmable renewable sources is a crucial aspect for the energy transition. Using surplus electricity from renewable energy sources, power-to-gas plants allow to produce a substitute natural gas (SNG) that can be...
Straw input is a helpful approach that potentially improves soil fertility and crop yield to ensure food security and protect the ecological environment. Nevertheless, unreasonable straw input results in massive greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, leadin...
