The disclosure concerns systems and methods for the production of phenol and acetone from cumene oxidation products. One method comprises reacting cumene and an oxidizing agent to produce a cumene oxidation product comprising cumene hydroperoxide and dimethyl benzyl alcohol, converting at least a portion of the dimethyl benzyl alcohol to cumene hydroperoxide by reacting the at least a portion of the dimethyl benzyl alcohol with hydrogen peroxide in both an organic phase and an aqueous to produce a converted cumene oxidation product, and cleaving the converted cumene oxidation product to produce an output product comprising one or more of phenol, acetone, and alpha-methylstyrene.

Single iron atoms embedded in graphene can catalyse the conversion of methane into methanol at room temperature. Dependent upon the flow of gas from the well, a reactor vessel will be built and housed in a building heated by the raw gas to a temperature of seventy degrees Fahrenheit. This catalyst is carried on a bed of zeolite which will remove nitrogen and nitrogen compounds in adsorption process, as well as some sulphur and a good percentage of carbon dioxide. Iron—nitrogen—carbon (Fe—N—C) acts as the most satisfactory alternatives to platinum for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR).
