Microreaction and membrane technologies for continuous single-enantiomer production: A review Catal. Rev. Sci. Eng. (IF 10.9) Pub Date : 2021-09-28 Zuzana Petrusová, Zdeněk Slouka, Lucie Vobecká, Petr Polezhaev, Pavel Hasal, Michal Přibyl, Pavel Izák
ABSTRACT Microreaction and membrane technologies offer optimal conditions for controlling enantiomer synthesis and purification processes in continuous production, with numerous advantages over batch manufacturing. One of the many forces driving the development of such technologies for the production of single optical isomers is the need for enantiomerically pure pharmaceutical drugs because enantiomers

Catalytic valorization of CO2 by hydrogenation: current status and future trends Catal. Rev. Sci. Eng. (IF 10.9) Pub Date : 2021-09-02 I. Sancho-Sanz, S.A. Korili, A. Gil
ABSTRACT Terrestrial environmental and biological systems are being threatened by the tremendous amount of human carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a sustainable energy system based on CO2 as chemical feedstock. In this review, an introduction to the CO2 activation and transformation has been made, together with a more comprehensive study of the catalytical reduction of CO2
