Abstract: The invention provides a process for production of methanol from a feed stream rich in hydrogen carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The feed stream is converted to a converted process stream comprising methanol and small amounts of higher alcohols, aldehydes and ketones in the presence of a catalyst active in conversion of hydrogen and carbon monoxide into methanol. The converted process stream is cooled to a cooled process stream to 20-200° C. The cooled process stream is hydrogenated into a hydrogenated process stream rich in methanol and depleted in aldehydes and ketones in presence of a hydrogenation catalyst. The catalyst is active in conversion of aldehydes and ketones into alcohols in a process stream rich in methanol and further comprising hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The hydrogenated process stream is cooled to a cooled, condensed process stream, and subsequently the cooled, condensed process stream is separated into a gas phase and a liquid crude methanol phase.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of a hydrogen-rich stream comprising contacting a process gas containing carbon monoxide and water, the process gas further including dimethyl ether or a dimethyl ether/methanol mixture in at least one shift step in the presence of an ether hydration catalyst selected from the group of solid acids and a methanol decomposition catalyst comprising copper, zinc and aluminium and/or chromium.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of a hydrogen-rich stream comprising contacting a carbon monoxide-containing gas, methanol and water in at least one shift step in the presence of a catalyst comprising copper, zinc and aluminium and/or chromium at a shift inlet temperature of at least 280° C. and a pressure of at least 2.0 MPa.

Abstract: Novel oligomers, and synthesis thereof, comprising one or more bi-, tri, or polycyclic nucleoside analogues are disclosed herein. The nucleoside analogues have a “locked” structure, termed Locked Nucleoside Analogues (LNA). LNA's exhibit highly desirable and useful properties. LNA's are capable of forming nucleobase specific duplexes and triplexes with single and double stranded nucleic acids. These complexes exhibit higher thermostability than the corresponding complexes formed with normal nucleic acids. The properties of LNA's allow for a wide range of uses such as diagnostic agents and therapeutic agents in a mammal suffering from or susceptible to, various diseases.
