    • Cluster-size-dependent interaction between ethylene and CuCl2 clusters supported via γ-alumina 

      Qi, Yanying; Fenes, Endre; Ma, Hongfei; Wang, Yalan; Rout, Kumar Ranjan; Fuglerud, Terje; Marco, Piccinini; Chen, De (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Alumina-supported copper chloride serves as an industrial catalyst for ethylene oxychlorination, resulting from its high activity and selectivity. A better understanding of the detailed active site structure and reaction ...

    • Experimental and Theoretical Studies on Water-Added Thermal Processing of Model Biosyngas for Improving Hydrogen Production and Restraining Soot Formation 

      Chytil, Svatopluk; Li, Chao'en; Lee, Woo Jin; Lødeng, Rune; Holmen, Anders; Blekkan, Edd Anders; Burke, Nick; Patel, Jim (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The upgrading of biosyngas to convert methane into syngas is a necessary step for hydrogen production from biomass. However, this process is highly energy-demanding. In this study, a model biosyngas containing H2, CH4, CO, ...

    • Jet fuel range hydrocarbon production from propanal: Mechanistic insights into active site requirement of a dual-bed catalyst 

      Yeboah, Isaac; Feng, Xiang; Wang, Gang; Rout, Kumar Ranjan; Cai, Zhenping; Duan, Xuezhi; Zhou, Xinggui; Chen, De (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Utilization of sustainable biomass to produce jet fuel range hydrocarbons is imperatively needed to mitigate CO2 emissions and to liberate the over-reliance on fossil resources. Using propanal as the feedstock, an excellent ...

    • Markovnikov at Gold: Nucleophilic Addition to Alkenes at Au(III) 

      Holmsen, Marte Sofie; Ihlefeldt, Franziska; Øien-Ødegaard, Sigurd; Langseth, Eirin; Wencke, Yannick; Heyn, Richard H.; Tilset, Mats (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)
      The reactivity of Au(OAcF)2(tpy) (1, OAcF = OCOCF3; tpy = 2-(p-tolyl)pyridine) toward a wide variety of different alkenes with various substitution patterns and different oxygen-based nucleophiles has been investigated. ...

    • Methane to methanol: structure-activity relationships for Cu-CHA 

      Pappas, Dimitrios; Borfecchia, Elisa; Dyballa, Michael Martin; Pankin, Ilia A.; Lomachenko, Kirill A.; Martini, Andrea; Signorile, Matteo; Teketel, Shewangizaw; Arstad, Bjørnar; Berlier, Gloria; Lamberti, Carlo; Bordiga, Silvia; Olsbye, Unni; Lillerud, Karl Petter; Svelle, Stian; Beato, Pablo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      Cu-exchanged zeolites possess active sites that are able to cleave the C–H bond of methane at temperatures ≤200 °C, enabling its selective partial oxidation to methanol. Herein we explore this process over Cu-SSZ-13 ...

    • Review of asphaltenes in an electric field 

      Farooq, Umer; Lædre, Sigrid; Gawel, Kamila (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Asphaltenes are regarded as troublesome components of crude oils as their precipitation and deposition inside production wells and downstream infrastructure often result in a reduction of production capacity and, in critical ...

    • Review on Application of Nanotechnology for Asphaltene Adsorption, Crude Oil Demulsification, and Produced Water Treatment 

      Farooq, Umer; Patil, Amit; Panjwani, Balram; Simonsen, Galina (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Nanotechnology is widely recognized for having important applications in many industries, one of which is oil and gas. Both environmental and cost benefits can be achieved when using nanoparticles for the separation of ...

    • trans-Mutation at Gold(III): A mechanistic study of a catalytic acetylene functionalization via a double insertion pathway 

      Holmsen, Marte Sofie; Nova, Ainara; Balcells, David; Langseth, Eirin; Øien-Ødegaard, Sigurd; Heyn, Richard H.; Tilset, Mats; Laurenczy, Gábor (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      The Au(III) complex Au(tpy)(OAcF)2 (OAcF = OCOCF3; tpy = 2-(p-tolyl)pyridine) catalyzes the anti addition of trifluoroacetic acid (HOAcF) to acetylene to furnish vinyl trifluoroacetate. The Au(III) vinyl complex ...
