Gaseous streams in biorefineries have been undervalued and underutilized. In cellulosic biorefineries, coproduced biogas is assumed to be combusted alongside lignin to generate process heat and electricity. Biogas can instead be upgraded to compressed biomethane and used as a transportation fuel. Capturing CO2-rich streams generated in biorefineries can also contribute to greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation goals. We explore the economic and life-cycle GHG impacts of biogas upgrading and CO2 capture and storage (CCS) at ionic liquid-based cellulosic ethanol biorefineries using biomass sorghum. Without policy incentives, biorefineries with biogas upgrading systems can achieve a comparable minimum ethanol selling price (MESP) and reduced GHG footprint ($1.38/liter gasoline equivalent (LGE) and 12.9 gCO2e/MJ) relative to facilities that combust biogas onsite ($1.34/LGE and 24.3 gCO2e/MJ). Incorporating renewable identification number (RIN) values advantages facilities that upgrade biogas relative to other options (MESP of $0.72/LGE). Incorporating CCS increases the MESP but dramatically decreases the GHG footprint (-21.3 gCO2e/MJ for partial, -110.7 gCO2e/MJ for full CCS). Selleck 1-NM-PP1 The addition of CCS also decreases the cost of carbon mitigation to as low as $52-$78/t CO2, depending on the assumed fuel selling price, and is the lowest-cost option if both RIN and California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard credits are incorporated.In the course of our investigations of the coordination chemistry of trivalent antimony (Sb) compounds, we studied heteronuclear complexes formed in reactions of the compounds RSb(pyS)2 (R = pyS, Ph; pyS- = pyridine-2-thiolate) with [Pt(PPh3)4], i.e., complexes [(R)Sb(μ-pyS)2Pt(PPh3)] (R = pyS, 1; R = Ph, 2). The reaction of 1 with o-chloranil proceeds cleanly with elimination of 2,2'-dipyridyl disulfide and formation of the salt [(PPh3)Pt(μ-pyS)2Sb(μ-pyS)2Pt(PPh3)]+[Sb(C6Cl4O2)2]- (3 III ), which features the cation 3 + . The charge-neutral, unsymmetrically substituted compound [(PPh3)Pt(μ-pyS)2Sb(μ-pyS)2Pt(κS-pyS)] (4) can be accessed by the reaction of 3 + with LipyS. Selleck 1-NM-PP1 The oxidation of 2 with o-chloranil furnishes the complex [(κ-O,O-C6Cl4O2)PhSb(μ-pyS)2Pt(PPh3)] (5). The oxidation of 1 with PhICl2 afforded the paddlewheel-shaped complex [Sb(μ-pyS)4PtCl] (6). Moreover, compound 6 was obtained by the reaction of Sb(pyS)3 with [PtCl(pyS)(PPh3)]. The polarization of Pt-Sb bonds of compounds 1-6 was investigated by natural localized molecular orbital (NLMO) calculations, which suggest X-type ligand character (covalent Pt-Sb bonds) for 1 and 2, whereas the Sb ligand of 6 reflects Z-type character (dative Pt→Sb bonds). In 3 + , 4, and 5, high contributions of the reverse, i.e., L-type (dative Pt←Sb bonds), were observed. In conjunction with the results of NLMO analyses, 121Sb Mössbauer spectroscopy proves that complexes 1-6 represent essentially trivalent Sb complexes with either a free lone pair (LP) at the Sb atom (1, 2, and 6) or LP character involved in L-type Pt←Sb coordination (3 + , 4, and 5).Aqueous complexation of uranyl(VI) ions with methoxy- and methylbenzoates in 0.1 M NaClO4 solutions was studied by means of UV-vis absorption and Raman spectroscopy. The predominance of 11 complexation (uranyl to ligand) was verified for all uranyl carboxylates under acidic conditions (-log [H+] less then 3.2), and absorption spectra, stability constants, and symmetric stretching frequencies of the uranyl group of the complexes were determined for the first time. For meta- and para-substituted benzoates, a linear free energy relationship (LFER) was observed between the equilibrium constants for the protonation (log βP) and uranyl complexation (log βU) reactions, and the electronic effects of the substituents were successfully described by the Hammett equation. In the case of ortho-substituted benzoates, the stability constant of uranyl 2-methoxybenzoate is slightly lower than the LFER trend, which is generally explained by the destabilization of cross-conjugation in the uranyl complex due to the steric hindrance between the reaction center and adjacent methoxy group. On the contrary, the stability constant of uranyl 2-methylbenzoate is comparable to the LFER trend, implying that the steric effect is relatively insignificant for the smaller methyl group. The utility of such thermodynamic correlations between the uranyl-substituted benzoates is useful for the molecular understanding and predictive modeling of chemical interactions between actinyl(VI) ions and various organic carboxyl groups.The assembly of individual colloidal nanocrystals into macroscopic solvogels and aerogels introduced a new exciting type of material into the class of porous architectures. In these so-called nanocrystal gels, the structure and properties can be controlled and fine-tuned to the smallest details. Recently it was shown that by employing nanocrystal building blocks for such gel materials, the interesting nanoscopic properties can be conserved or even expanded to properties that are available neither in the nanocrystals nor in their respective bulk materials. In general, the production of these materials features the wet-chemical synthesis of stable nanocrystal colloids followed by their carefully controlled destabilization to facilitate arrangement of the nanocrystals into highly porous, interconnected networks. By isolation of the synthesis of the discrete building blocks from the assembly process, the electronic structure, optical properties, and structural morphology can be tailored by the myriad of procedurels on different scales, fine-tuning of the individual building blocks on the nanoscale, the network connections on the microscale, and the macroscale structure and shape of the final construct. It is exemplarily demonstrated how cation exchange reactions (at the nanoscale), postgelation modifications on the nanocrystal networks (microscale), and the structuring of the gels via printing techniques (macroscale) endow the resulting nanocrystal gel networks with novel physicochemical, mechanical, and electrocatalytic properties. The methods applied in the more traditional sol-gel chemistry targeting micro- and macroscale structuring are also reviewed, showing their future potential promoting the field of nanocrystal-based aerogels and their applications.
