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...

High Energy Density Lithium Flow Battery Design

Oct 17, 2011
Galen Suppes
Traditional sandwich cell battery chemistries are used in a flow cell where a pump circulates fluid between electrodes through a permeable membrane. The energy densities of these batteries are many fold higher than flow batteries where one or more reagent is stored in the electrolyte. Side-by-side...

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...

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...

Anisole and Guaiacol Deoxygenation Over Pt/Sn On Monolith Catalyst Supports

Oct 17, 2011
Miguel Angel Gonzalez Borja
Upgrading of pyrolysis oil vapors requires a catalytic reactor able to treat high reactant flow rates without generating a large pressure drop. Therefore, monolithic catalysts appear as good candidates for this purpose. In this contribution, low-surface-area Inconel monoliths were coated with in-...

Modeling and Scale up of CO2-Water Pretreatment of Guayule Biomass

Oct 17, 2011
Ehsan Moharreri
A carbon dioxide – water pretreatment process was developed for guayule biomass. The guayule biomass was mixed with water and then loaded to a reactor where it was exposed to a biphasic environment consisting of CO2 rich vapor phase and water rich liquid phase. Then, the biomass was enzymatically...

Synthesis of Optimal Adsorptive Carbon Capture Processes

Oct 17, 2011
David C. Miller
Solid sorbent carbon capture systems have the potential to require significantly lower regeneration energy compared to aqueous monoethanol amine (MEA) systems. To date, the majority of work on solid sorbents has focused on developing the sorbent materials themselves. In order to advance these...
