Research in the sustainable conversion of biomass to fuels and chemicals is a necessity for reduction carbon footprint transport energy. Herein, we demonstrate an efficient tandem catalyst selectively convert (simulated) bio-oil hydrocarbons with enhanced C4+ fuel yield fixed bed reactor small pilot plant. The catalytic system multifunctional dual system; coupling catalysts (0.2 wt % X-TiO2(X: ...

A bench-scale auger reactor was designed for use as a laboratory-scale fast pyrolyzer for producing bio-oil from Japanese cedar. An analytical pyrolysis method was performed simultaneously to determine the distribution of pyrolysis products. The pyrolysis temperature was found to have the greatest influence on the bio-oil characteristics; bio-oil yields increased as the pyrolysis temperature in...

The transformation of methane and carbon dioxide by coupling plasma catalysis was investigated using a fluidized bed reactor the results, in terms reactant conversion yields products, were compared with those obtained fixed reactor. A series alumina, including commercial sample various meso-macro materials synthesized laboratory, tested this study. Their surface areas varied from 260 to 312 m2 ...

Implementation of partial nitritation anammox (PNA) in the mainstream (municipal wastewater treatment) is still under investigation. Microbial community structure and reactor type can influence the performance of PNA reactor; yet, little is known about the role of the community composition of the inoculum and the reactor configuration under mainstream conditions. Therefore, this study investiga...

the application of neural networks to model a laboratory scale inverse fluidized bed reactor has been studied. a radial basis function neural network has been successfully employed for the modeling of the inverse fluidized bed reactor. in the proposed model, the trained neural network represents the kinetics of biological decomposition of organic matters in the reactor. the neural network has b...

A novel wastewater treatment system has been developed, utilizing an oxygen-rich algal liquid to supply oxygen to an aerobic biofilm reactor. Aerobic treatment of wastewater takes place in a Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor, where the aerobic biomass which breaks down organic and nitrogenous pollutants grows as a biofilm on floating carriers. Algae grown in an open raceway pond produce oxygen through...
