  2. Kolbe electrolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolbe_electrolysis

    As an example, electrolysis of acetic acid yields ethane and carbon dioxide: CH 3 COOH → CH 3 COO − → CH 3 COO· → CH 3 · + CO 2 2CH 3 · → CH 3 CH 3. Another example is the synthesis of 2,7-dimethyl-2,7-dinitrooctane from 4-methyl-4-nitrovaleric acid: [3] The Kolbe reaction has also been occasionally used in cross-coupling reactions.

    Absolute partial pressure 101.325 kPa (1.00000 atm; 1.01325 bar) for each gaseous reagent — the convention in most literature data but not the current standard state (100 kPa). Variations from these ideal conditions affect measured voltage via the Nernst equation .

  4. Ethylene oxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_oxide

    The yield of ethylene oxide is about 80% of the theoretical value; for 1 tonne (0.98 long tons; 1.1 short tons) of ethylene oxide, about 200 kg (440 lb) of ethylene dichloride is produced. [68] But, the major drawbacks of this process are high chlorine consumption and effluent load.

  5. Ethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethane

    SABIC operates a 34,000 t/a plant at Yanbu to produce acetic acid by ethane oxidation. [38] The economic viability of this process may rely on the low cost of ethane near Saudi oil fields, and it may not be competitive with methanol carbonylation elsewhere in the world. [39] Ethane can be used as a refrigerant in cryogenic refrigeration systems.

  6. Chemosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemosynthesis

    Venenivibrio stagnispumantis gains energy by oxidizing hydrogen gas.. In biochemistry, chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of one or more carbon-containing molecules (usually carbon dioxide or methane) and nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic compounds (e.g., hydrogen gas, hydrogen sulfide) or ferrous ions as a source of energy, rather than sunlight, as in ...

  7. Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemical_reduction...

    [1] CO2RR can produce diverse compounds including formate (HCOO − ) , carbon monoxide (CO) , methane (CH 4 ) , ethylene (C 2 H 4 ) , and ethanol (C 2 H 5 OH) . [ 2 ] The main challenges are the relatively high cost of electricity (vs petroleum) and that CO 2 is often contaminated with O 2 and must be purified before reduction.

  9. Organic redox reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_redox_reaction

    Organic redox reactions: the Birch reduction. Organic reductions or organic oxidations or organic redox reactions are redox reactions that take place with organic compounds.In organic chemistry oxidations and reductions are different from ordinary redox reactions, because many reactions carry the name but do not actually involve electron transfer.
