RUDN University improve ethanol conversion catalyst

RUDN University improve ethanol conversion catalyst

December 26, 2022 |

In Russia, RUDN University chemists have improved the catalyst for ethanol conversion. With it, a mixture of compounds with a high octane number was obtained. This was achieved thanks to a special substrate for the activated carbon catalyst. In the future, such developments will help to obtain more environmentally friendly fuel additives and thus reduce […]

Russian researchers lead team to show microalgae can clean pyrene from wastewater

November 1, 2021 |

In Russia, RUDN University chemists together with colleagues from India, Russia and South Africa showed that green microalgae Chlorella sorokiniana can be used for cleaning wastewater from a toxic pyrene. Algae absorb pyrene and at the same time change their metabolism to adapt to stressful conditions. As a result, more lipids are formed in algae, […]

RUDN University researchers design new way to synthesize catalysts for ethanol

June 2, 2021 |

In Russia, RUDN University chemists proposed a new way to synthesize catalysts for the conversion of ethyl alcohol. The obtained materials are promising catalysts for the selective conversion of ethanol, which is an important stage in the development of an alternative technology for obtaining valuable chemical synthesis products based on plant raw materials. The results […]
