Biojet Production From Hydrocracking of Vegetable Oil

Oct 17, 2011
Huali Wang
The development of fuels from alternative and renewable sources to replace commercial petroleum products has been a subject of increasing research in recent years. At present, there are few economically feasible processes to produce jet fuel from plant oils and animal fats, especially with non-...

Steam Reforming of Ethanol-Phenol Mixture As a Model for Biomass Tar

Oct 17, 2011
Guido Busca
Introduction Hydrogen is produced by biomasses through a variety of pyrolysis and gasification processes. Most of these processes are hampered by the coproduction of tars, a mixture of heavy compounds that may result in fouling of heat exchangers and reactors. A steam reforming step is needed to...

Effect of Pressure and Heating Rate On Biomass Devolatilization and Gasification

Oct 17, 2011
Pradeep K. Agrawal
The goal of present study is to characterize the effect of pressure and heating rate on the devolatilization behavior of different biomass species. Three biomass species (southern Pine, corn stover, and switchgrass) were studied. A combination of two complementary gasification devices are utilized...
