Experimental and Simulation Studies of Effects of Operating Conditions and Membrane Properties on the Performance of Zeolite Membrane Reactors for High Temperature Water Gas Shift Reaction Seok-Jhin Kim , Shaowei Yang, Junhang Dong Department of Chemical & Materials Engineering, University of...

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...

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...

Quality by Design (QbD) Case Studies: Integrated Use of Design of Experiments (DOE) and Multivariate Data Analysis (MVDA) in Drug Product and Process Optimization Author/s: Goldi Kaul (Ph.D.) Abstract: Herein exemplified by two case studies is the combinatorial use of experimental design,...

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...

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...
