Investigating Fundamental Electrochemical Processes In a Li-O2 Battery

Oct 16, 2011
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

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...

Biomass Pyrolysis and Gasification: Engineering Rules of Thumb

Oct 16, 2011
Michael J. Antal
In this presentation I review important findings recorded in the archival literature concerning the thermodynamics, kinetics, mechanisms, and catalysis of biomass pyrolysis and gasification that serve as rules of thumb for reactor design.

Lignin Unlocking Process Led by Termites for Efficient Carbohydrate Utilization

Oct 16, 2011
Jing Ke
Wood-feeding termites are highly effective in deconstruction of wood cell wall structure for efficient utilization of cellulose and hemicelluloses. One of the key factors for its effectual cell wall disintegration is the lignin structure modification for de-protection. In this study, we provide...

Nationwide Energy Supply Chain Analysis for Transportation Fuels

Oct 16, 2011
Josephine A. Elia
Hybrid energy processes are an attractive avenue towards a more sustainable energy future due to their flexibility in converting multiple types of inputs into a consistent range of products. For the transportation sector, Fischer-Tropsch synfuels can be generated from a diverse of feedstock inputs...

Thermochemical Hydrogen Production by Alkali Metal Oxides

Oct 16, 2011
Hiroki Miyaoka
In this work, we have focused a thermo chemical hydrogen production from water by using alkali metal oxides. This system consists of three step reactions. First one is H 2 generation by the reaction of hydroxide and metal 2MOH+2M→2M 2 O+H 2 (endothermic). From the oxide as the product of first...

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...

Forward Osmosis: Potential Use In Desalination and Water Reuse

Oct 16, 2011
Ali Altaee
Abstract There has been a recurring interest in using Forward Osmosis (FO) process in water treatment and desalination. The recent advance in membrane technology has encouraged further investment in the process technology. Despite the promising results from pilot and bench scale experiments the...
