On Demand Conference Presentations

Aamir Farid delivers a keynote address at the 2013 AIChE Spring Meeting and Global Congress for Process Safety.

Cellulosic biomass represents an abundant renewable resource for the production of bio-based products and biofuels. 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a critical and versatile intermediate for converting biomass to liquid alkanes and many other value-added products. However, cost effective conversion...

The objective of this study is to develop and demonstrate a viable economical pathway to produce renewable transportation fuels from cellulosic biomass such as wood chips, forest wastes, and agriculture residues.

Providing nearly 400 enzyme products ranging from food and beverages to household cleaning and biofuels, Genencor has been a world leader in industrial biotechnology and a pioneer in enzyme innovation. Now a part of DuPont, DuPont Industrial Biosciences provides enzyme products for biomass...

Research at CanmetENERGY is investigating the impacts and benefits of co-processing biomass derived feedstocks with petroleum feeds (including opportunity crudes such as bitumen and heavy oils). It is important to fully understand the co-processing of these two feeds because in many developed...

To insure a Sustainable Future, CO 2 emissions must be reduced despite strong future growth in demand. “Easy oil” from conventional production will be less abundant, though coal and natural gas, as well as unconventional hydrocarbon reserves will remain in strong supply for decades to come. Carbon...

Optimal Charge Rates for a Lithium Ion Cell Saeed Khaleghi Rahimian, Sean Rayman, Ralph E. White Department of Chemical Engineering, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC29208, USA Abstract The optimum charge rate for a lithium ion cell at each cycle is determined to maximize the useful life...

Because of conventional oil being-exhausted and its increasing price, the technologies to use unconventional oil and low value crude residues, which have not been fully exploited, are receiving more and more interest. Unconventional oil contains a lot of asphaltene which hinders utilizability of...
