Solid-to-liquid and gas-to-liquid transformation of alkanes under accelerated electron beam irradiation

Electric production of high-quality fuels via electron beam irradiation under ambient conditions

“…Electric methods based on renewable electricity are being investigated as a substitute for current thermal, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission intensive methods in the energy/chemical industry for material synthesis and processing. [1][2][3][4][5] High energy electron beam (ebeam) irradiation of materials under nearly ambient conditions seems to be a promising technology because of its high effectiveness, larger penetration depth, uniform energy deposition, lower capital cost, better scalability with high throughput, etc. Because of the effective interaction between electrons and molecules, it not only breaks down large molecules, but also induces special chemistry, and produces very useful products.…”
