Review of Recent advanced in solar thermo-chemical reactors for hydrogen production from water

Improvement in photocatalysts and photocatalytic reactors for water and wastewater treatment: A review

During recent years, many advanced oxidation techniques have been investigated for water and wastewater treatment to overcome the shortage of clean water. This review summarizes the background and principles of photocatalysis applied as an advanced oxidation technology. In particular, this paper focuses on modification of photocatalysts with various dopants as well as the novel photocatalytic r...

Bioreactor Scale-up for Water-Gas Shift Reaction

A scale-up study has been performed with three different size reactors to establish the optimum operating conditions for the hydrogen production from synthesis gas by biological water-gas shift reaction using the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodosprilliunt rubrum. Optimum medium composition and operating conditions previously determined in a bench scale 1.25 L continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR...

The Energy and Exergy Analysis of Integrated Hydrogen Production System Using High Temperature Steam Electrolysis with Optimized Water Path (RESEARCH NOTE)

In this research, solar-drived integrated Hydrogen production (HP) using high-temperature steam electrolysis (HTSE) is thermodynamically evaluated. This system includes an organic Rankine cycle (ORC), Rankine cycle, Brayton cycle, solar tower, and High Temperature Steam Electrolysis (HTSE). Solar energy supplies thermal energy. This heat source is applied for generating power. This energy is us...

Sub-critical water as a green solvent for production of valuable materials from agricultural waste biomass: A review of recent work

Agricultural waste biomass generated from agricultural production and food processing industry are abundant, such as durian  peel, mango peel, corn straw, rice bran, corn shell, potato peel and many more. Due to low commercial value, these wastes are disposed in landfill, which if not managed properly may cause environmental problems. Currently, environmental laws and regulations pertaining to ...
