CVD (chemical vapor deposition) coatings such as TiC, TiN, Al2O3 and so on are widely used as tools' surface preserved materials with corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Standard Gibbs free energy changes for reactions are widely used to approximately analyze the trends of substance...

A novel, integrated and unified process is proposed, modeled and studied for converting biomass to methanol (MeOH)/dimethylether (DME) to demonstrate its feasibility and applicability for the global industrial sector. The unified process consists of a concentrating solar power (CSP) plant, which...

This study evaluates the potential for reducing life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of biomass gasification-based methanol production systems based on energy balances. Configurations which are process integrated with a chemical cluster have been compared to stand-alone units, i.e. units...

A systematic analysis of interrelations between different process steps in the biomass gasification and methanol synthesis chain was made. The energy performance of the system is assessed by reviewing previous studies and analysing a case study. Implications of technology choices and process...

A new kind of natural gas-based polygeneration system for methanol and power production is proposed in this paper. With the sequential connection between chemical production and power generation, the new system adopts innovative integration of partial-reforming and partial-recycle scheme in...

This study investigates the feasibility to synthesis methanol from its flue gas and wind hydrogen. The concept is to mitigate CO2 emission through flue gas recovery. Synthesizing methanol, on the other hand requires hydrogen at the rate of 3kmol/kmol of carbon dioxide. Electrolysis is one method...
