  2. 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.

  3. Heterogeneous catalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneous_catalysis

    Zeolite structure. A common catalyst support material in hydrocracking. Also acts as a catalyst in hydrocarbon alkylation and isomerization. Catalysts are not active towards reactants across their entire surface; only specific locations possess catalytic activity, called active sites. The surface area of a solid catalyst has a strong influence ...

  4. Methanation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanation

    Methanation reaction over different carried metal catalysts including Ni, [4] Ru [5] and Rh [6] has been widely investigated for the production of CH 4 from syngas and other power to gas initiatives. [3] Nickel is the most widely used catalyst due to its high selectivity and low cost. [1]

  5. Free-radical halogenation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-radical_halogenation

    A radical abstracts a hydrogen atom from methane, leaving a primary methyl radical. The methyl radical then abstracts Cl • from Cl 2 to give the desired product and another chlorine radical. Methane chlorination: propagation The radical will then participate in another propagation reaction: the radical chain. Other products such as CH 2 Cl 2 ...

  6. Methane functionalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane_functionalization

    Another example of acetic acid synthesis was demonstrated by Pombeiro et al., which used vanadium-based complexes in trifluoroacetic acid with peroxodisulfate as the oxidant. [8] The proposed mechanism involves a radical mechanism, where methane is the methyl source and trifluoroacetic acid is the carbonyl source.

  7. Molecular model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_model

    The construction of physical models is often a creative act, and many bespoke examples have been carefully created in the workshops of science departments. There is a very wide range of approaches to physical modeling, including ball-and-stick models available for purchase commercially, to molecular models created using 3D printers .

  8. Methane reformer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane_reformer

    A methane reformer is a device based on steam reforming, autothermal reforming or partial oxidation and is a type of chemical synthesis which can produce pure hydrogen gas from methane using a catalyst. There are multiple types of reformers in development but the most common in industry are autothermal reforming (ATR) and steam methane ...

  9. Reaction mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_mechanism

    Cyanide ion (CN −) acts as a catalyst here, entering at the first step and leaving in the last step. Proton (H +) transfers occur at (i) and (ii). The arrow pushing method is used in some of the steps to show where electron pairs go. A chain reaction is an example of a complex mechanism, in which the propagation steps form a closed cycle. In ...
