Lipase‐Mediated Synthesis of Biodiesel Using Blended Alcohol in a Packed‐Bed Reactor System
Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, Volume 103, Issue 2, Page 123-128, February 2026.ABSTRACT The use of lipases in biodiesel production has gained attention as a more sustainable and efficient alternative to chemical catalysts, attributed to their operational reusability and minimal environmental impact. As an innovative approach in this study, a blended alcohol composed of 20 mol% methanol and 80 mol% 1‐butanol was employed as the ...

On the Usability of Pt/Al2O3 Catalysts for Exhaust Gas After Treatment in Ammonia Combustion Engines
Chemie Ingenieur Technik, Volume 98, Issue 1-2, Page 27-36, February 2026.Ammonia engines emit no CO2 but exhibit elevated emissions of NH3 and NOx, where conventional SCR systems are not effective due to the significant excess of NH3. This study investigates Pt‐based oxidation catalysts in a bypass configuration to adjust the NH3/NOx ratio, analyzing catalyst parameters and their impact on N2O formation to identify optimal ...

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 3, February 2026.Nonthermal plasma operating in liquid phase at ambient temperature selectively oxidises glycerol into glycolic acid (GcA) and dihydroxyacetone (DHA). At p = 9.6 W and short residence time, 100% selectivity to GcA was achieved with 7% glycerol conversion. After 60 min, conversion reached 35%, with 58% GcA and 36% DHA.
