2019 results about "Atom economy" patented technology

Atom economy (atom efficiency/percentage) is the conversion efficiency of a chemical process in terms of all atoms involved and the desired products produced. Atom economy is an important concept of green chemistry philosophy, and one of the most widely used metrics for measuring the "greenness" of a process or synthesis. Atom economy can be written as: atom economy=(Molecular Weight of desired product)/(Molecular Weight of all reactants)×100% For a multi-step process, where the intermediates are formed in one step and consumed during a later step: A+B→C C+D→E E+F→G atom economy=Mᵣ(G)/(Mᵣ(A)+Mᵣ(B)+Mᵣ(D)+Mᵣ(F)) Atom economy is a different concern than chemical yield, because a high-yielding process can still result in substantial byproducts.

Application of tungsten-based catalyst in lignin catalytic hydrogenation for producing aromatic compound

The invention relates to hydrocracking of lignin, and specifically relates to a method for applying a tungsten-based catalyst to catalyze lignin hydrocracking for producing an aromatic compound. The catalyst comprises a main active component of non-zero-valent tungsten, and a second metal component of a small amount of one or more transition metals selected from zero-valent nickel, cobalt, ruthenium, iridium, palladium, platinum, iron, and copper. According to the method, raw materials such as lignin, biomass hydrolysis residue, lignosulfonate, and alkaline lignin are subject to catalytic hydrogenation under a hydrothermal condition with a temperature of 120 to 450 DEG C and a hydrogen pressure of 1 to 20MPa; the raw materials are cracked into C6-C9 phenolic compounds with high selectivity. A maximal phenol yield reaches 55.6%. Compared to existing technologies, according to the invention, renewable natural biomasses are adopted as raw materials, such that the raw materials are cheap, and have wide sources; inorganic acid and alkali are not required, such the production of a large amount of alkaline solution in traditional lignin catalysis is avoided; the tungsten-based catalyst is cheap; the reaction process is green, and has atom economical characteristics.

Method for recycling lithium, iron and current collector-aluminum foil in positive electrode material of waste lithium iron phosphate battery

The invention discloses a method for recycling lithium, iron and current collector-aluminum foil in a positive electrode material of a waste lithium iron phosphate battery. The method comprises the steps that firstly, the positive electrode material of the waste lithium iron phosphate battery is arranged in an alkaline solution to be subjected to stirring and ultrasonic treatment, and after a lithium iron phosphate positive electrode mixed material completely disengages from aluminum foil, the aluminum foil is directly recycled after being separated from the alkaline solution; then the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode mixed material is filtered and separated out from the alkaline solution and then is subjected to roasting, ball milling and screening; then the lithium iron phosphate positive electrode mixed material is immersed in acid liquor to be dissolved, the pH value is adjusted, the iron element is deposited in the form of iron phosphate, and filtering and separating are conducted; the filter liquor is continuously adjusted to the neutralization, then phosphate is added, and the lithium element is deposited in the form of lithium phosphate. The method is simple and effective, the main elements of iron, lithium and current collector-aluminum foil in the positive electrode material of the waste lithium iron phosphate battery can be effectively recycled, the recycling rate is high, low-concentration acid liquor and low-concentration alkaline liquor are adopted, secondary pollution is not generated, the valuable elements are all recycled, and atom economy is achieved.
