  • Solvation Effects of Water on Dimethyl Ether Interactions with a Platinum Catalyst

    Creator:
    Chang, Alvin
    Abstract:
    Our society today is heavily dependent on fossil fuels such as coal and oil. However, growing environmental concerns and future fossil fuel supplies have led to interests in alternative fuels. Dimethyl Ether (DME) is an inexpensive, clean-burning, non-toxic, and potentially renewable fuel, making it a suitable choice as an alternative...

  • Scale Up & Optimization of the Liquid Carbon Dioxide Extraction of Orange Oil with Dry Ice

    Creator:
    Fraser-Hevlin, Brenden C. S.
    Abstract:
    Essential oils have numerous chemical and therapeutic applications. Some oil extraction methods, including steam distillation, require a large energy input. An alternative technique with a lower energy demand is the extraction of oils using supercritical liquid carbon dioxide (CO2), which extracts essential oils with minimal environmental impact. While this often...
