RE: How To Make Waste More Useful Using ... Bacteria?

in #steemstem7 years ago

Oh! I guess the one I saw previously is this

I just quickly go through the acs paper and it seems more like a theoretical one to me. They seems not show the catalyst loading and the turn over number (seems not in the SI as well). I am not an expert in catalysis so I cant comment too much, but I still think this is really a “hot field” in the coming decades ~

Sort:  

No that one specific paper is only showing that it is possible. I linked another one in the post where they reported 83% efficiency. Though, I have to admit I did not read it in its entirety (after all, I only got so much time during the day). Yeah it will be interesting. My interest right now tends more in the direction of instrumentation, and nanotech. Dude, I really appreciate your interest and contribution! I sadly can only give one upvote...
Cheers!

This is the one i came across sometime ago but is quite impressive. Although using ruthenium catalyst, it is capable to do CO2 reduction (personally I think this is a pretty nice yet difficult to do CO2 reduction to give useful materials) with high TON. Just put the link here if you are interested

Enjoy :D

That is also very promising. I am sure that these efforts will yield some very interesting procedures and applications. Cheers!
