Catalytic decomposition of ammonia and tar for hot gas cleanup in biomass gasification using activated carbon supported catalysts and natural limonite ores
(2009)Biomass gasification produces a gas (or syngas) containing primarily CO2, H2, CO, CH4 and (C2+C3), as well as some contaminants such as tars, NH3, H2S and SO2. In order to achieve better efficiencies of the syngas applications, ... -
Catalytic gasification of biomass for the production of syngas with reduced tar formation
(2009)With increased concerns over greenhouse gas emission and decreasing fossil fuel supplies, biomass is increasingly seen as an alternative option for energy and chemical production. There are several technologies available ... -
Co-firing of lignite with peat and white pine in a pilot scale bubbling fluidized bed air - emissions and feedstock reactivity
(2010)The increasing awareness of the environmental impact of fossil fuels (mainly coal) combustion, which leads to high levels of CO 2 , NO x , SO 2 , mercury and particulate emissions, has motivated research for potential ... -
Effects of feed and operating conditions on the performance and membrane fouling of a submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactor
(2012)Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) have been recognized as an effective method for enhanced wastewater treatment and re-use. However, the loss of the membrane performances due to membrane fouling remains a major ... -
Hydrodeoxygenation process for converting glycerol into bio-crude / by Matthew A. Tymchyshyn.
(2010)"Bio-energy is a clean (containing negligible sulfur and being near-carbon neutral), renewable and abundant source of energy. Bio-energy can be a potential alternative to fossil fuels for the production of energy and ... -
Pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis of peat and pine sawdust for bio-ethanol production / by Wei Shi.
(2010)This thesis includes three parts: 1.) effect of hydrogen peroxide on delignification of peat; 2.) pre-treatment of pine sawdust using various methods, including organosolv extraction, ultrasonic treatment, and sodium ... -
Production of bio-crude from forestry waste by hydro-liquefaction in sub-/super-critical methanol and upgrading of bio-crude by hydro-treating
(2009)Bio-energy is renewable and clean (with trace amount of sulfur and neutral in terms of CO2 emission), and abundant in resource, thus it could be a securable and sustainable energy for future. Due to the declining reserve ...
