2024 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Value-Added Chemicals from Natural Gas

The emergence of significant domestic natural gas resources makes natural gas a potential alternative feedstock for petrochemicals. This symposium will provide a forum to demonstrate multi-disciplinary, integrated approaches to catalytic reaction engineering focused on overcoming the technical challenges associated with the utilization of these natural gas resources via efficient, low-carbon pathways. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: •
