Platinum-promoted Ga/Al₂O₃ as highly active, selective, and stable catalyst for the dehydrogenation of propane.
Jesper J. H. B. Sattler,Ines D. Gonzalez-Jimenez,Lin Luo,Brien A. Stears,Andrzej Malek,David G. Barton,Beata A. Kilos,Kaminsky Mark P,Tiny Verhoeven,Eline J. Koers,Marc Baldus,Bert M. Weckhuysen +11 more
TL;DR: A novel catalyst material for the selective dehydrogenation of propane is presented and a bifunctional active phase is proposed, in which coordinately unsaturated Ga3+ species are the active species and where Pt functions as a promoter.

Process Design and Economics for Conversion of Lignocellulosic Biomass to Ethanol: Thermochemical Pathway by Indirect Gasification and Mixed Alcohol Synthesis
Abhijit Dutta,Michael Talmadge,Jesse E. Hensley,M. Worley,D. Dudgeon,David G. Barton,P. Groendijk,Daniela Ferrari,Brien A. Stears,Erin Searcy,Christopher T. Wright,J. R. Hess +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, an up-to-date benchmark thermochemical conversion process that incorporates the latest research from NREL and other sources is described. And the conceptual design presented herein considers the economics of ethanol production, assuming the achievement of internal research targets for 2012 and nth-plant costs and financing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Olefins-selective asymmetric carbon molecular sieve hollow fiber membranes for hybrid membrane-distillation processes for olefin/paraffin separations
Liren Xu,Meha Rungta,Brayden Mark K,Marcos V. Martinez,Brien A. Stears,Gregory A. Barbay,William J. Koros +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the development of asymmetric carbon molecular sieve (CMS) hollow fiber membranes and advanced processes for olefin/paraffin separations based on the CMS membranes are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Techno-Economics for Conversion of Lignocellulosic Biomass to Ethanol by Indirect Gasification and Mixed Alcohol Synthesis
Abhijit Dutta,Michael Talmadge,Jesse E. Hensley,M. Worley,Doug Dudgeon,David G. Barton,Groenendijk Peter E,Daniela Ferrari,Brien A. Stears,Erin Searcy,Christopher T. Wright,J. Richard Hess +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the economics of ethanol and higher alcohols coproduct by conversion of lignocelluosic biomass to syngas via indirect gasification followed by gas-to-liquids synthesis over a precommercial heterogeneous catalyst.
