Despite its bad reputation as a greenhouse gas and pollutant, carbon dioxide can be viewed
as a renewable, non-toxic and cheap feedstock for chemical synthesis. The chemical …

Carbon capture and utilization technologies require research and development to be
implemented commercially. Process intensification (PI) technologies will help reduce the …

Abstract Monometallic and bimetallic Cu: Ni catalysts with different Cu: Ni molar ratios (3: 1,
2: 1, 1: 1, 1: 2, 1: 3) were synthesized by wetness impregnation on activated carbon and …

This paper presents the techno-economics insights of projects of diethyl carbonate (DEC)
production from ethanol and CO 2 in which the raw materials are proposed to be obtained …

Diethyl carbonate (DEC) was synthesized from ethanol and ethyl carbamate (EC) over Mg–
Y composite oxides with excellent yield. Mg–Y composite oxide calcined at 450° C …

Diethyl carbonate (DEC) synthesis from CO2 and ethanol is a typical green chemical route
for sustainable development and cleaner production. However, the bottleneck problem of a …

Diethyl carbonate (DEC) is a versatile chemical with several commercial uses. The synthesis
of DEC from carbon dioxide and ethanol is both environmentally friendly and can be …

ZnFe2O4 was prepared for the synthesis of diethyl carbonate (DEC) via a one-step reaction
of CO2 with ethanol. The DEC yield was improved surprisingly from 3.09% to 49.3% by …

The separation requirements of the ethanol‐tert‐butanol‐water system are difficult to meet
due to the formation of azeotropes under normal pressure. After screening the four most …
