Alternative transportation fuels, preferably from renewable sources, include alcohols with up
to five or even more carbon atoms. They are considered promising because they can be …

Butanol can be produced from renewable sources via the acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE)
fermentation route to create biobutanol or from fossil fuel to create petrobutanol. Despite the …

The state of the art and the further challenges of combustion chemistry research in laminar
flames are reviewed. Laminar flames constitute an essential part of kinetic model …

Alcohols, such as butanol, are a class of molecules that have been proposed as a bio-
derived alternative or blending agent for conventional petroleum derived fuels. The …

Biomass tar is the bottleneck of biomass gasification, which lowers the quality of syngas,
corrodes downstream equipment, and causes serious environmental pollution. Tar can …

Combustion involves chemical reactions that are often highly exothermic. Combustion
systems utilize the energy of chemical compounds released during this reactive process for …

Combustion is directly related to energy conversion and the environment. Gas-phase
chemical reactions such as thermal decomposition, oxidation and recombination play a …

Ongoing progress in synthetic biology, metabolic engineering, and catalysis continues to
produce a diverse array of advanced biofuels with complex molecular structure and …

Abstract Cyclic Ethers (CEs) belong to a class of compounds of importance to understand
the chemistry of both the engine auto-ignition of hydrocarbon fuels and the combustion of …

In the present review we describe the emerging tendency for creating target-oriented
analytical approaches designed to solve important chemical tasks by using a combination of …
