ZHONGAN Industry Achieves Milestone in Methane to Methanol Conversion
ZHONGAN Industry, a leading manufacturer of fine chemical and cosmetic materials that integrates research, production and sales together is thrilled to announce a milestone achievement in the direct catalytic conversion of methane to methanol.
The team at ZHONGAN Industry has successfully achieved metal-free methane conversion with 17% methanol yield based on the limiting reagent O2 at 275 C using near supercritical acetonitrile in the presence of boron nitride – a partial oxidation of methane to methanol. This breakthrough marks an important step forward for unlocking abundant natural gas supplies as it opens up new possibilities for more efficient fuel production processes.
“We are delighted by this success as it demonstrates our commitment towards researching and developing innovative solutions which will benefit not only our company but also society at large,” said ZHONGAN CEO John Smith. “This new technology can bring about numerous environmental benefits such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels while still allowing us access to these resources. We look forward to continuing our work in this area and exploring other applications for this process.”
The team behind this project is composed of experts from various disciplines including organic chemistry, catalysis engineering, analytical chemistry and material sciences who have been working hard since 2017 on finding ways to efficiently convert methane into useful products like methanol without relying on costly metals or hazardous chemicals during the reaction process. Thanks to their dedication, we now have an environmentally friendly alternative that can be used commercially with great potentials both economically feasible and energy efficient – something that was previously considered impossible before now!
Moving forward, ZHONGAN plans on further developing this technology through improved catalyst activity and higher yields so that it may become ubiquitous throughout industry one day soon enough! Their goal is clear: To provide better alternatives for current technologies while minimizing any negative impacts they might cause upon environment or human health – paving way towards sustainable future generations filled with renewable energy sources!
