Our process uses oxygen - effectively
"Our approach of using natural gas could use this "waste" gas saving CO2
emissions," he added.4 billion tonnes per annum and four per cent of this is
flared into the atmosphere - roughly 100 million tonnes," he
said."Commercialisation will take time, but our science Titanium
iron cored wire Suppliers has major implications for the preservation of
natural gas reserves as fossil fuel stocks dwindle across the world," he
said.Scientists have found a way to produce methanol - an important chemical
often used as fuel in vehicles - using oxygen in the air, an advance that may
lead to cleaner, greener industrial processes worldwide.Methanol is currently
produced by breaking down natural gas at high temperatures into hydrogen gas and
carbon monoxide before reassembling them - expensive and energy-intensive
processes known as steam reforming and methanol synthesis."At present global
natural gas production is about 2.
Our process uses oxygen - effectively a free
product in the air around us – and combines it with hydrogen peroxide at mild
temperatures which require less energy," said Graham Hutchings, from the Cardiff
Catalysis Institute."We have already shown that gold nanoparticles supported by
titanium oxide could convert methane to methanol, but we simplified the
chemistry further and took away the titanium oxide powder," said
Hutchings..However, researchers from Cardiff University in the UK have
discovered they can produce methanol from methane through simple catalysis that
allows methanol production at low temperatures using oxygen and hydrogen
peroxide.The findings, published in the journal Science, have major implications
for cleaner, greener industrial processes worldwide."The quest to find a more
efficient way of producing methanol is a hundred years old
