Simulation and Economics of Biodiesel Production From Microbial Lipids

Oct 17, 2011
Ramalingam Subramaniam
In this work, production of lipid from Lypomyces starkeyi on soluble sweet potato starch was simulated in Aspen Plus simulation. A kinetic model based on experimental results of medium optimization and high density cultivation was used for cell growth and lipid production. The simulation...

Oct 17, 2011
Daniel H. Chen
Fe/Mn co-doped titania nanotubes has been synthesized by solution combustion followed by the hydrothermal treatment. Combustion synthesis has emerged as a facile and economically viable technique for the preparation of advanced ceramics, catalysts and nanomaterials. Stoichiometric amounts of...

Effects of Biomass Contaminants (N and Cl species) On Fischer Tropsch Synthesis

Oct 17, 2011
Fan Shi
Introduction The production of transportation fuels from biomass, and the use of biomass as a means of carbon dioxide capture and sequestration have been identified as a strategy with potential to address the energy and environmental concerns, including fuel independence, energy availability and...

The Extended History of PRICAT(TM) 468 for C4 Acetylene Hydrogenation

South Texas Section Webinar
May 5, 2011
Gary Gildert

Step three of the 'Eight Steps to Specify a Catalyst Bed' is selecting the catalyst. The process of developing and selecting catalysts is often shrouded in mystery. Examining the history of a product development can demystify the process.

Introduction to Fluidized Bed Technology

AIChE Webinar
Apr 13, 2011
Karl Jacob, Raymond Cocco

This webinar explores the fundamentals of fluidization: how materials fluidize; differences in fluidization characteristics based on size and density; minimum fluidization; bubble formation, size and coalescence; and fluid bed flow regimes.
