• X-ray nanoscopy of cobalt Fischer–Tropsch catalysts at work

  Cobalt Fischer–Tropsch catalysts have been investigated in both 2-D and 3-D, by scientists in the Netherlands and the US, using in situ hard X-ray transmission X-ray microscopy (TXM). The Fischer–Tropsch process is an important step in the production of liquid fuels from natural gas, biomass or coal more

• Breakthrough in hydrogen fuel production could revolutionize alternative energy market

  A team of Virginia Tech researchers has discovered a way to extract large quantities of hydrogen from any plant, a breakthrough that has the potential to bring a low-cost, environmentally friendly fuel source to the world. "Our new process could help end our dependence on fossil fuels," said Y.H. Pe more

• A new technology for producing hydrogen
  

  The Ph.D. thesis of Aingeru Remiro-Eguskiza, a chemical engineer of the University of the Basque Country, deals with the quest for a process to produce hydrogen from bio-oil that has a lower impact on the environment than the process using current routes. The gradual increase in the price of crude o more

• Flash point testing - The definitive test method
  

  Classifying the flammability of fuels and other materials by their flash point value has been an established practice for more than 100 years. Today mandatory international and national regulations are set by bodies such the UN, IATA, EPA, EU, and Health and Safety executives more

• 35 years' experience in "black gold"
  

  There is a paradoxical consequence of the financial crisis: To produce bitumen is more attractive than ever. In the last six months prices for crude oil and, in particular, the consumption of heavy, sulfur-containing marine Diesel fuel (bunker oils) have dropped, while at the same time the need for bitumen has gone up all over the world due to government infrastructure investment programs. For this reason, the demand for Biturox® plants to produce road bitumen in an economical manner is increasing more

• Identification of Ion Series Using Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry: The Example of Alkyl-Benzothiophene and Alkyl-Dibenzothiophene Ions in Diesel Fuels

  Ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IMMS) has been presented as a promising method for analysis of highly complex mixtures. This coupling adds an additional postionization separation dimension to MS. The IM separation of ions is obtained in the millisecond time scale and can be particularly helpful when more

• Long-term Operation of Microbial Electrosynthesis Systems Improves Acetate Production by Autotrophic Microbiomes

  Microbial electrosynthesis is the biocathode-driven production of chemicals from CO2 and has the promise to be a sustainable, carbon-consuming technology. To date, microbial electrosynthesis of acetate, the first step in order to generate liquid fuels from CO2, has been characterized by low rates an more
