  2. Wacker process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wacker_process

    A water molecule then attacks the olefin regioselectively through an outer sphere mechanism in a Markovnikov fashion, to form the more thermodynamically stable Pd(Cl 2)(OH)(-CH 2-CHOH-R) complex. Dissociation of a chloride ligand to the three coordinate palladium complex promotes β-hydride elimination, then subsequent 1,2-hydride migratory ...

  3. Steam cracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_cracking

    A higher cracking temperature (also referred to as severity) favors the production of ethene and benzene, whereas lower severity produces higher amounts of propene, C4-hydrocarbons and liquid products. The process also results in the slow deposition of coke, a form of carbon, on the reactor walls. This degrades the efficiency of the reactor, so ...

  4. Oxidative coupling of methane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidative_coupling_of_methane

    The ethane subsequently undergoes dehydrogenation to form ethylene (C 2 H 4). The yield of the desired C 2 products is reduced by non-selective reactions of methyl radicals with the surface and oxygen in the gas phase, which produce (undesirable) carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

  5. Hydration reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydration_reaction

    In chemistry, a hydration reaction is a chemical reaction in which a substance combines with water. In organic chemistry, water is added to an unsaturated substrate, which is usually an alkene or an alkyne. This type of reaction is employed industrially to produce ethanol, isopropanol, and butan-2-ol. [1]

  6. Heterogeneous water oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneous_Water_Oxidation

    Heterogeneous OER is sensitive to the surface which the reaction takes place and is also affected by the pH of the solution. The general mechanism for acidic and alkaline solutions is shown below. Under acidic conditions water binds to the surface with the irreversible removal of one electron and one proton to form a platinum hydroxide. [4]

  7. Sabatier reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabatier_reaction

    Paul Sabatier (1854-1941) winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1912 and discoverer of the reaction in 1897. The Sabatier reaction or Sabatier process produces methane and water from a reaction of hydrogen with carbon dioxide at elevated temperatures (optimally 300–400 °C) and pressures (perhaps 3 MPa [1]) in the presence of a nickel catalyst.

  8. Steam reforming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_reforming

    Steam reforming or steam methane reforming (SMR) is a method for producing syngas (hydrogen and carbon monoxide) by reaction of hydrocarbons with water. Commonly natural gas is the feedstock. The main purpose of this technology is often hydrogen production, although syngas has multiple other uses such as production of ammonia or methanol.

  9. Liquefaction of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefaction_of_gases

    Liquefaction of gases is physical conversion of a gas into a liquid state (condensation). The liquefaction of gases is a complicated process that uses various compressions and expansions to achieve high pressures and very low temperatures, using, for example, turboexpanders .
