A process for producing functionalized organic molecules having 1 to 3 carbon atoms. The method includes the step of contacting carbon dioxide as the only gas, or a gas mixture that includes carbon dioxide and methane, in the presence of water, with a catalyst that includes permanently polarized hydroxyapatite.

Processes for producing high biogenic concentration Fischer-Tropsch liquids derived from the organic fraction of municipal solid wastes (MSW) feedstock that contains a relatively high concentration of biogenic carbon (derived from plants) and a relatively low concentration of non-biogenic carbon (derived from fossil sources) wherein the biogenic content of the Fischer-Tropsch liquids is the same as the biogenic content of the feedstock.

Provided is a method for purifying a waste solvent by removing carbon dioxide contained in a waste solvent derived from supercritical waste liquid generated after supercritical drying by a decompression process, and removing ammonia by a multi-stage distillation process to obtain a solvent of high purity, which can be reused in producing silica aerogel or a silica aerogel blanket.

The present disclosure provides a preparation method of a doped ZnO catalyst. The preparation method includes the following steps: mixing a precipitant and a first solvent to form a first solution having 1 mol/L to 5 mol/L of the precipitant by concentration; mixing one of a Cu salt or a Ga salt, a Zn salt, and a second solvent to form a second solution having Cu and Zn at a molar ratio of less than 0.05:1 and Ga and Zn at a molar ratio of less than 0.1:1; subjecting the first solution and the second solution to precipitation or hydrolysis at 50° C. to 90° C. to obtain a precipitate, and washing and drying the precipitate to obtain a precursor sample; and conducting calcination on the precursor sample at 300° C. to 500° C. for 3 h to 5 h to obtain a Cu-doped ZnO catalyst or a Ga-doped ZnO catalyst.

The present invention relates to a method of producing bio-based homoserine lactone and bio-based organic acid through hydrolysis of O-acyl homoserine produced by a microorganism in the presence of an acid catalyst. According to the present invention, O-acyl homoserine produced by a microorganism is used as a raw material for producing 1,4-butanediol, gamma-butyrolactone, tetrahydrofuran and the like, which are industrially highly useful. The O-acyl homoserine produced by a microorganism can substitute conventional petrochemical products, can solve environmental concerns, including the emission of pollutants and the exhaustion of natural resources, and can be continuously renewable so as not to exhaust natural resources.
