Effects of Mixing Quality On the Kinetics of Biomass Liquefaction

Oct 17, 2011
David M. Lavenson
Abstract: Biochemical conversion is a promising route to produce fuels and chemicals from cellulosic biomass. A key step in the process is biomass liquefaction, where enzymes are used to break down pretreated cellulosic particles. During this process, drastic changes in the mechanical properties of...

A QbD Approach to Improve Tablet Coating Uniformity

Oct 17, 2011
Atul Dubey
A combination of analytical and statistical methods is used to improve a tablet coating process guided by quality by design principles. A solid dosage form product was found to intermittently exhibit bad taste. A suspected cause was the variability in coating thickness which could lead to the...

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...
