Safety Communication’s 3 Big Mistakes: Too Much, Too Complex, Not Useable
ChemE On Demand Presentation (Global Congress on Process Safety, 2012)
Dr TJ Larkin shows what’s wrong with our safety communication and how to fix it. -
The Effects of Solvent On Glucose Conversion to 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural
ChemE On Demand Presentation (AIChE Annual Meeting, 2012)
Cellulosic biomass represents an abundant renewable resource for the production of bio-based products and biofuels. 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a critical and versatile intermediate for converting biomass to liquid alkanes and many other value-added products. However, cost effective conversion... -
Upgrading of Biomass-Derived Liquid to Clean Fuels
ChemE On Demand Presentation (AIChE Annual Meeting, 2012)
The objective of this study is to develop and demonstrate a viable economical pathway to produce renewable transportation fuels from cellulosic biomass such as wood chips, forest wastes, and agriculture residues. -
Evaluation of Mercury Capture Technology Using Various Sorbents Injection
ChemE On Demand Presentation (AIChE Annual Meeting, 2012)
Coal combustion is a single largest known anthropogenic source for mercury (Hg) emission. Recently, US EPA has proposed Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) in order to regulate emissions of Hg and other pollutants. Many Hg control technologies have been developed, such as activated carbon... -
Immobilized-Cells Hollow Fiber Membrane Reactor for Fermentation of Inhibitors in Lignocellulosic Hydrolysates
ChemE On Demand Presentation (AIChE Annual Meeting, 2012)
Production of bioethanol from agricultural and forest residues have been attracted considerable efforts as this lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant renewable material and has the potential to serve as a sustainable feedstock for biofuel. Conversion process of lignocelluloses to bioethanol... -
Aqueous Morpholine As a Potential Post-Combustion CO2 Absorption Solution
ChemE On Demand Presentation (AIChE Annual Meeting, 2012)
Due primarily to high cyclic capacity and high absorption rates compared to other methods, aqueous amine based CO 2 capture has gained great interest for application to post-combustion CO 2 capture. While aqueous amines have a long history for acid gas removal, challenges remain for the commercial... -
Enhancement in Enzymatic Hydrolysis by Mechanical Refining of Pretreated Biomass
ChemE On Demand Presentation (AIChE Annual Meeting, 2012)
Cellulose is the most abundant natural polymer. Therefore, cellulosic bioethanol has been identified as a fuel source that has tremendous potential to supplement the United States consumption of non-renewable transportation fuel sources. Although cellulosic bioethanol is poised for market entry,... -
A Kinetic Study of Bioethanol Fermentation by E. Coli FBWHR Using Wood Hemicellulosic Hydrolysate As Substrate
ChemE On Demand Presentation (AIChE Annual Meeting, 2012)
Hemicellulose is currently a by-product currently under-utilized in the papermaking industry and represents the largest polysaccharides fraction wasted in most cellulosic ethanol pilot and demonstration plants around the world. It is a hetero-carbohydrate polymer, with β-xylose as the major... -
Mass Transfer Evaluation of CO2 Absorption in a Wetted Wall Column
ChemE On Demand Presentation (AIChE Annual Meeting, 2012)
The chemical absorption of CO 2 in solvents is considered as one of the mature process options for reducing CO 2 emissions in power plants. Solvents with fast mass transfer rates and high CO 2 carrying capacity are therefore desired and continue to be explored to reduce equipment size and its... -
