Highly Efficient Integrated Chemical Looping Gasification Fuel Cell System

Oct 31, 2012
Liang Zeng
Chemical looping process is designed for indirect reactions between fuel and oxidants via exchanging a stream of oxygen carrier particles among separate reactors. It is a promising process that can effectively increase the exergy efficiency for carbonaceous fuel conversion. The chemical looping...

Using Non-Cl? Containing Ionic Liquids for Rice Hull Pretreatment

Oct 31, 2012
Joan G. Lynam
Rice is the fundamental food for about half the world's population and provides over 20% of calories consumed by humans. Since the rice hull or husk is 20% of the grain, vast quantities of rice hulls are produced worldwide, which are then disposed by either burning, generating pollution and CO 2 ,...

Molten Salt Gasification (MSG) of Refinery Wastes to Produce Hydrogen

Oct 31, 2012
Lyman Frost
Western Hydrogen Limited is developing a process called Molten Salt Catalyzed Gasification (MSG) that allows the production of high-pressure synthesis gas at ~138 bar (~2000 psig) or higher without the need for compression. This makes the process very efficient since the compression of synthesis...

Potential for CO2 Ehanced Oil Recovery in the Appalachian Basin

Oct 31, 2012
Timothy Carr
The Appalachian basin oil and gas producing region has a large amount of oil which will be left in the ground, or “stranded”, following the use of today’s oil recovery practices. A major portion of this “stranded oil” is in mature reservoirs that based on this study appear to be technically...

Inorganic Analysis of HTC Biochar

Oct 31, 2012
M. Toufiq Reza
The increase in greenhouse gas concentration, primarily due to emissions of CO 2 produced in use of fossil fuel, motivates many efforts to identify renewable energy alternatives. Using fuel from food sources is not optimal, since malnourishment is still prevalent in the developing world. Despite...
