This study investigates the role of β-zeolite acid site density on hydrocarbon and coke yields.
Supported MoO<sub>3</sub>catalysts are effective catalytic fast pyrolysis catalysts that can generate<italic>ca.</italic>30 C% hydrocarbons, including aromatics, olefins, and paraffins from pine.
Cellulose is the primary biopolymer responsible for maintaining structural and mechanical integrity of cell walls and, during fast pyrolysis biomass, may be restricting wall expansion inhibiting phase transitions that would otherwise facilitate efficient escape products. Here, we test whether modifications in two physical properties cellulose, its crystalline allomorph degree crystallinity, alter performance pyrolysis. We show both crystal relative crystallinity cellulose impact slate...
During catalytic upgrading over HZSM-5 of vapors from fast pyrolysis biomass (<italic>ex situ</italic> CFP), water reacts with aromatic intermediates to form phenols that are then desorbed the catalyst micropores and produced as products.
The catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) of biomass is a promising technology for producing renewable transportation fuels and chemicals. MFI-type catalysts have shown promise CFP because they produce gasoline range hydrocarbons from oxygenated compounds; however, rapid catalyst deactivation due to coking one the major technical barriers inhibiting commercialization this technology. Coke deposited on surface blocks access active sites in micropores leading deactivation. Our strategy minimize by...
Production of furans and phenols from biomass through catalytic fast pyrolysis pine using Mo-supported KIT-5 mesoporous silica was explored.
The photocatalytic activity of hydrothermally synthesized TiO2−SiO2 mixed oxides was examined in this study. Powder X-ray diffractometry, nitrogen adsorption, diffuse reflectance spectrometry, Raman, and UV−vis spectrometry demonstrated that the pore geometries nature crystal phase can be tailored by cosolvent-induced gelation (CIG) synthesis oxide materials. This body work attempts to support role crystallinity enhanced hydrothermal (HTS) establishing active sites pertinent advanced...
Titania containing cubic MCM-48 mesoporous materials were synthesized successfully at room temperature by a modified Stöber method. The integrity of the phase was retained even relatively high loadings titania. TiO2-MCM-48 extensively characterized variety physico-chemical techniques. characterization indicate that Ti4+ ions can be substituted in framework tetrahedral positions. relative amount position dependent on order addition precursor. Even titania, no distinct bulk titania could...
Metal carbide compounds have recently become highly studied materials as non-precious metal catalysts for several energy related reactions. These often require high temperatures and long annealing time to produce the desired phase. Using a low-temperature salt flux synthesis method, molybdenum biomass samples were reacted form porous nanoparticle Mo2C. Several different biochar sources used demonstrate versatility generality of this process. The derived carbides also tested shown be active...
Abstract The construction of WWTP (Wastewater Treatment Process) hospital should prioritize the environmental aspect and apply principle sustainable development so that impact can be minimized optimize its management. wastewater management strategy used in Hospital X uses an end pipe focuses only on sewage treatment disposal, as not to completely solve existing problems. Cleaner production analysis is applied improve performance thus improving WWTP’s operational cost-efficiency....
