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-...

Flow and Transport Properties In High-Solids Biomass Slurries

Oct 17, 2011
James J. Lischeske
Economic biochemical conversion of cellulose to sugars necessitates minimal addition of water to biomass slurries during conversion, resulting in high-solids systems. The resulting slurries are effectively wet-granular materials. These materials presents difficulties for reactor engineering, as...

Kinetics Study of Furfural Production From Cellulosic Biomass

Oct 17, 2011
Taiying Zhang
Furfural is an important chemical and also a building block for production of drop-in hydrocarbon fuels and can be produced from cellulosic biomass such as woody crops and bagasse by hydrolysis and dehydration with mineral acids. However, furfural yields employing current technologies are limited...
