We have conducted x-ray diffraction, calorimetric and Brillouin-scattering experiments on n-butanol between 77 and 300 K, aiming to explore the physical nature of the so-called 'glacial state' ...

We estimated rate constants for the hydrogen abstraction from carbon-3 of 1-butanol by hydroperoxyl radical, a critically important reaction in the combustion of biofuel. We employed the recently ...

ABSTRACT: The transition from non-renewable to renewable energy sources is a significant challenge of our time. In the fuel industry, oxygenated additives such as butanol are transforming conventional ...

Crotonase from Clostridium acetobutylicum (CaCRT) is an enzyme that catalyzes the dehydration of 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA to crotonyl-CoA in the n-butanol biosynthetic pathway. To investigate the ...

The main route for biobutanol production is anaerobic clostridial fermentation using corn and sugarcane as substrates. The high-price of raw materials in above processes largely limits its application ...
