Reforming of Residual Tars and Oils From Biomass Gasification

Oct 16, 2011
Lyman Frost
One of the barriers to wider use of many kinds of biomass is the fact that they generate refractory tars and oils when gasified. These compounds cause difficulty when they are passed to downstream components in the system by causing plugging and drop in performance. The compounds can be condensed...

Bryan McCloskey
Li-air batteries have received significant attention as a potential high specific energy alternative to current state-of-the-art rechargeable Li-ion batteries. Nevertheless, published Li-air embodiments have only achieved a small fraction of their enormous theoretical specific energy (11,700 Wh/kg...

Deepwater Drilling Regulations In the Gulf of Mexico

Oct 16, 2011
Ian Sutton
Deepwater Regulations in the Gulf of Mexico The Deepwater Horizon incident (DWH) of April 2010 led to many changes in deepwater operations in the Gulf of Mexico. Not the least of those changes were to do with regulations. In the three months following DWH two important changes to the regulatory...

Rule of Thumb for Reactor Design and Process Condition for Biodiesel Production

Oct 16, 2011
Masato Kouzu
The rule of thumb for reactor design and process condition for biodiesel production is introduced. The important aspect includes type of feedstock oil, catalyst selection, methanol/oil ratio, quality of the produced biodiesel. When low quality plant oil is used as the feedstock, its pre-treatment...

Mechanistic Modeling of Fast Pyrolysis of Cellulose to Predict Bio-Oil Composition

Oct 16, 2011
Vinu Ravikrishnan
Fast pyrolysis, a potential strategy for the production of transportation fuels from biomass, involves a complex network of competing reactions, which result in the formation of bio-oil, non-condensable gaseous species, and solid char. Bio-oil is a mixture of anhydro sugars, furan derivatives, and...

Modeling and Optimization of Algae Based Biodiesel Production

Oct 16, 2011
Soumya Yadala
Processing of biodiesel from algae biomass has attracted much interest in recent times due to many reasons. Significant amongst them are global warming and scarcity in fossil fuels. It has been suggested that this third generation biofuel, a carbon neutral alternative, is capable of meeting the...

Low Temperature Gasification of Impregnated Biomass Feedstock

Oct 16, 2011
Foster Agblevor
Hybrid poplar biomass feedstocks were impregnated with catalysts and gasified at three different temperatures in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor. The impregnated biomass were gasified in a nitrogen atmosphere at 400 o C, 600 o C, and 800 o C. The gas yield increased with increasing temperature as...
