Anisole and Guaiacol Deoxygenation Over Pt/Sn On Monolith Catalyst Supports

Oct 17, 2011
Miguel Angel Gonzalez Borja
Upgrading of pyrolysis oil vapors requires a catalytic reactor able to treat high reactant flow rates without generating a large pressure drop. Therefore, monolithic catalysts appear as good candidates for this purpose. In this contribution, low-surface-area Inconel monoliths were coated with in-...

Energy Efficiency of Battery Systems with Forced Convection Between Electrodes

Oct 17, 2011
Sun Ung Kim
The energy efficiency of an alkaline battery system with forced convective flow between the electrodes has been investigated. Rechargeable alkaline batteries, which depend on the reaction between zinc and manganese dioxide (Zn/MnO 2 ), have been widely used because of their excellent properties...

Ordered Mesoporous TiO2/ZnO Material for Hydrogen Production

Oct 17, 2011
Menan Hussein
Ordered mesoporous Zr-doped TiO 2 /ZnO material is currently being investigated for band gap tuning and higher loadings of photo-sensitizer. Utilization of such mesoporous materials thereby offers an opportunity to sensitize semiconductor with higher sensitizer loadings leading to effective charge...

Kinetics Study of Furfural Production From Cellulosic Biomass

Oct 17, 2011
Taiying Zhang
Furfural is an important chemical and also a building block for production of drop-in hydrocarbon fuels and can be produced from cellulosic biomass such as woody crops and bagasse by hydrolysis and dehydration with mineral acids. However, furfural yields employing current technologies are limited...
