A new reaction scheme to optimize the production of biobased butadiene
Revisiting an old process that starts with ethanol thanks to a better understanding of the reaction mechanisms involved, IFPEN’s researchers have defined an original scheme, combining the hitherto generally accepted Gorin-Jones route with a reaction route known as the “Inoue route”. The scheme has been shown to be relevant for explaining the composition of effluents associated with the Ostromislensky catalytic conversion process, paving the way for future process improvements.
Predicting performance from atomic through to reactor scales to improve industrial processes
Using chemistry and quantum calculation techniques, researchers at IFPEN have developed predictive kinetic models directly from atomic scale through to reactor scale without the need to parametrize reaction rate constants k. Applied in the field of processes and transport, these models have proved extremely promising for performance prediction.
