Techno-Economic Assessment of Membrane Reactor Technologies for Pure Hydrogen Production for Fuel Cell Vehicle Fleets

Oct 31, 2012

Leonardo Roses

In the context of a desirable ‘carbon neutral’ energy economy, among the most promising solutions for replacing today’s GHG emitting vehicles is the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier. In the pathway towards a future infrastructure based on renewable energy sources, a medium term step would rely...

Automation and Control of Drug-On-Demand Technology

Oct 31, 2012

Laura Hirshfield

Stimulated by initiatives such as PAT and QbD, the pharmaceutical industry has been focusing on the development of innovative, efficient manufacturing methods. The concept of 'mini-manufacturing' of drugs, as opposed to mass production of drugs, has shown promise in this area. We describe one such...

Co-Pyrolysis of Low Rank Coals and Biomass At Transport Gasifier Conditions

Oct 31, 2012

Nathan T. Weiland

Given the EPA’s proposed rules on limiting CO 2 emissions from new coal power plants to match those of natural gas, blending of carbon-neutral biomass with coal is an increasingly attractive option for power producers. Further, gasification technologies that can capture and store CO 2 prior to...

One-Stage Process for Water Gas Shift in a Pd-Based Membrane Reactor

Oct 31, 2012

Efrem Curcio

The water gas shift (WGS) reaction is the upgrading stage in the cycles of hydrogen production by, for example, steam reforming of light hydrocarbons from fossil or renewable sources. This reaction limited by thermodynamics often carried out in industry to convert CO, producing more hydrogen. A WGS...

Modeling Phase Separating Materials in Porous Electrodes Using Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics

Oct 31, 2012

Todd R. Ferguson

Phase separating materials are prevalent in lithium-ion batteries. Commercial lithium-ion battery anodes typically consist of graphite, a material known to go through multiple ?stages? as the filling fraction (i.e. percentage) of lithium in the material changes. Other phase separating materials,...

Bulk and Micro-Scale Characterization of Continuous Powder Blending Integrated with an Multi-Point in-Line NIR As a PAT Tool

Oct 31, 2012

Juan G. Osorio

Continuous manufacturing of solid pharmaceutical products has been an area of much research in the past few years. Most efforts have focused in characterizing the bulk properties and efficiency of continuous powder mixers as a function of operational and design parameters. The present study...

Fractionation of Forest Residues of Douglas-Fir for Fermentable Sugar Production by SPORL Pretreatment

Oct 31, 2012

Chao Zhang

Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forest residues were physically fractionated through sieving. The bark and wood were separated for large-sized fractions (>12.7 mm) and their contents were determined. The chemical compositions of the large fractions were calculated based on the contents and...

Quantitative Analysis of Crystalline Materials in Binary Compacts Using Time Domain Spectra of THz Spectroscopy and Density Dependence

Oct 31, 2012

Md. Anik Alam

Polymorph and pseudo-polymorph systems play a major role in the pharmaceutical industry because of their potential to impact the performance of finished dosage forms. Quantitative analysis of polymorph and pseudo-polymorph is becoming increasingly important for solid oral dosage forms and...

Hybrid Li-Air Battery with Sulfuric Acid Electrolyte and Buckypaper Air Cathode

Oct 31, 2012

Yunfeng Li

Li-air battery (LAB) with aqueous-based catholyte and a water-stable lithium electrode using a LISICON-type lithium ion conducting glass ceramic membrane can eliminate the problems of Li-air battery with organic electrolytes, such as air-breathing cathode choking and degradation of Li anode. We...

Development of a Butanol Fuel Processor for Person-Portable Fuel Cell Power Systems

Oct 31, 2012

Stephen Jolly

A novel partial oxidation (POX) catalyst and butanol-to-hydrogen fuel processor sub-system concept have been developed to fill the need for person-portable power systems with high energy density for extended duration operation. The system is designed to reform isobutanol through partial oxidation...
