Direct Coupled Catalytic Upgrading of Multi-Stage Pyrolysis Bio-Oil Vapors

Oct 17, 2011
Shaolong Wan
A two-stage pyrolysis was conducted in this work. The purpose of the multiple stages is to provide a segregated product evolution in which the vapor products maybe be more selectively treated by catalysts to improve product quality and catalyst stability in comparison to one step pyrolysis in which...

Catalytic Conversion of Biomass Into Carboxylic Acids Via APPO Process

Oct 17, 2011
Hongfei Lin
Converting raw solid biomass into liquid or gas phase intermediates which can be readily upgraded to hydrocarbon fuels is the most challenging or energy intensive step during the biofuel production process due to the complex composition and structure of biomass. We are developing cost competitive...

F = MA of Biology?

Oct 17, 2011
Michael W. Deem
I will describe my participation over the past few years in an effort to find fundamental mathematical laws in biology. I will discuss a theory for understanding the emergence of multi-scale, hierarchical structure in biology. I will describe how modular structure in proteins, genetics, and...

Metabolic Flux Analysis of Escherichia Coli MG1655 Under Octanoic Acid Stress

Oct 17, 2011
Yanfen Fu
Metabolic engineering has evolved to the point of fulfilling the dream of having our industrial chemicals produced renewably. Carboxylic acids (e.g., short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) such as octanoic acid (C8)) are one such chemical intermediate that can be produced with Escherichia coli engineered...

Novel Reactor Design for Conversion of Waste Oils to Biodiesel

Oct 17, 2011
Richard A. Cairncross
Biodiesel is a renewable, carbon-neutral fuel that can ease pressure on the world’s dwindling supply of oil and petroleum diesel. This research explores production of biodiesel from alternative low-value feedstocks such as waste oils. Traditional biodiesel reactions mix an alcohol and a refined...
