Effects of Ammonia Substitution On Stability Limits and Emissions of Premixed Hydrogen/Air Flames

Oct 19, 2011

Dong Hyun Um

The potential of partial ammonia (NH 3 ) substitution to improve the safety of hydrogen (H 2 ) use was evaluated, using premixed NH 3 /H 2 /air flames at normal temperature and pressure generated on a tube type burner. The effects of NH 3 substitution on the stability limits and nitrogen oxide (NO...

Bioconversion of Brown Seaweed Into Mixed Ketones Through the Carboxylate Platform Processing

Oct 19, 2011

Xin Chen

The Carboxylate Platform, also known as the MixAlco TM process, is an acidogenic fermentation process using mixed culture inoculums, which offers several advantages compared to conventional bioprocessing, such as: non-sterile fermentation, the use of inexpensive tanks, adaptability to a wide...

Towards Developing Anaerobic Digestion Based Biorefinery – Research On Food Wastes As Feedstock

Oct 19, 2011

Shulin Chen

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a proven technology for waste treatment. However, as the organic material becomes more valuable and being treated as resources, traditional AD process is no longer adequate. The Bioprocessing and Bioproduct Engineering Laboratory at Washington State University has been...

A Novel Reactive Distillation Approach for Producing 1,3-Dihydroxyacetone From Glycerol

Oct 19, 2011

Dennis J. Miller

Glycerol is a viable renewable feedstock that has emerged as a consequence of triglyceride conversion to biodiesel. In addition to glycerol conversion to commodity chemicals such as propylene glycol and epichlorohydrin, formation of higher-value specialty chemical products such as 1,3-...

BIOCORE - On a Paradigm for the Design and Synthesis of Real-Life Biorefineries

Oct 19, 2011

Aikaterini D. Mountraki

As oil is a fast depleting resource (BP, 2010), much is expected by the production of biofuels as valid options to replace fossil-oil transportation fuels. Biorefineries are not an entirely new concept. Many of the traditional biomass conversion technologies such as the sugar and paper industries...

Change of Structure of Corncob with Dilute Acid and Lime Pretreatment and a Potential Process for Xylose Co-Production of Cellulosic Ethanol

Oct 19, 2011

Jihong Li

Degree of polymerization (DP) of cellulose is considered an important factor to effect on the conversion of Lignocellulose. The higher DP of cellulose, the more difficult conversion of lignocellulose is. In this study, corncobs were pretreated with dilute acid process for production of xylose, and...

New Catalytic Technology for Converting Heavy Oils Derived From Alberta Oil Sands Into Petrochemical Feedstock

Oct 18, 2011

Vasily Simanzhenkov

Oil sands operations in Alberta are poised to experience significant growth over the next number of years. Production of 1.31 million bbl/day of synthetic crude oil and bitumen blends from oil sands in 2008 is projected to increase to over 3 million bbl/day by 2018. This guarantees a large output...

Kinetics of CO2 Absorption Into Aqueous Potassium Carbonate Solution Promoted by Carbonic Anhydrase Enzyme

Oct 18, 2011

Xinhuai Ye

A novel Integrated Vacuum Carbonate Absorption Process (IVCAP) for post-combustion CO 2 capture is being developed at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. A key technical aspect of this process is to employ a biocatalyst, carbonic anhydrase (CA) enzyme, to enhance the rates of CO 2...

Modified AnoporeTM Hybrid Membranes for the Microfiltration of Cellulose Acid Hydrolysis Mixtures

Oct 18, 2011

Yong-Hong Zhao

Three classes of nonfouling substances, poly[poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate] (POEM), poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (PSBMA), and perfluoroalkyl tagged poly(ethylene glycol) surfactants (fPEG), were covalently tethered onto the surface of Anopore TM membranes (nominal pore size 0.2...

An Osmotic Membrane Dehumidifier

Oct 17, 2011

Arthur S. Kesten

OSMOTIC MEMBRANE DEHUMIDIFIER It has long been known that relying on a vapor compression system to cool air down to the dew point in order to dehumidify is expensive to build and uses far too much energy to operate. The ability to dehumidify independently of cooling provides substantial advantage,...
