The pyrolytic process in preparing rayon into activated carbon fiber was studied by thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) and differential thermal gravimetry (DTG). For the promotion of the pyrolytic reaction and increment of carbonization yield, impregnants including phosphoric acid (PA) and its three ammonium salts, as well as the ammonium sulfate (AS), are added respectively for best resultant bo...

This paper deals with the micromechanical modeling of carbon/carbon composites (C/C) fabricated by chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) of carbon fiber pre-form. The technology of CVI involves synthesis of pyrolytic carbon (PyroC) particles from hydrocarbon gas and their deposition on carbon fibers. The process results in formation of a porous pyrolytic carbon matrix filling space between the fibe...

Tire pyrolytic oil (TPO) obtained from thermal pyrolysis of scrap tires is not a diesel equivalent fuel which can be used directly in vehicles due to its high density, viscosity, sulfur content, low flash point and cetane index. It only limited way by mixing with (DF) amounts less than 30 %. In this study, the was carried out at heating rates 5 10?C min-1 range 450?600?C, using mixture hierarch...

Bio-oil produced from fast pyrolysis of biomass has been investigated as a renewable fuel and as a source of industrial chemicals. The lignin fraction of bio-oil produced from wood in our fast pyrolysis reactor was separated by using only water and methanol with a 25% yield based on bio-oil weight. This separation procedure appears to be of lower cost than the reported extraction procedure usin...
