Abstract There are many dynamic methods for measuring the volumetric mass transfer coefficient. The “gas out–gas in” method can directly determine coefficient in a bioreactor system and provide estimates of microbial oxygen uptake rate average saturation concentration at gas–liquid interface. errors on these parameters large if dissolved probe response time is not considered. For reliable measurements, deconvolution measurements must be made. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Production of green fuels and chemicals from non-edible corn cob residues presents an excellent opportunity to produce sustainable low carbon energy vectors as alternative fossil fuels. The objective this study was optimize the fuel physical chemical properties torrefied cobs bio-oil by investigating relationship between feedstock pre-treatment (torrefaction) temperatures (240, 260, 280 300 °C), subsequent pyrolysis (400, 450, 500 550 °C). This experimental methodology aimed improve both...
Tobacco bio-oil, gases, and char were produced through pyrolysis of tobacco leaves using a fluidized bed pilot plant under varying temperature (350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600 °C) residence time (5, 10, 17 s) conditions. The optimized condition for the production bio-oil was found to be at 500 °C vapor 5 s, giving yield 43.4%. Colorado Potato Beetle (CPB) Leptinotarsa decemlineata L. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), destructive pest toward potato crops, three microorganisms (Streptomyces scabies,...
Microwave-assisted pyrolysis is a promising thermochemical technique to convert waste polymers and biomass into raw chemicals fuels. However, this process involves several issues related the interactions between materials microwaves. Consequently, control of temperature during microwave-assisted hard task both for measurement uniformity overall pyrolytic run. In review, we introduce some main theoretical aspects microwaves–materials alongside microwave processability materials.
In industrial fluid cokers, the feedstock, consisting of heavy bituminous hydrocarbons, is atomized with steam and injected into hot fluidized bed coke. Good uniform contact liquid droplets solid particles required to provide heat for cracking reactions while mass transfer effects are minimized. Experiments in a pilot plant coker have suggested that initial particle/liquid mixing, spray jet, rather poor. X-ray scanner showed entrained accumulate just below tip jet plume. To illustrate...
Hemp-seed pyrolysis bio-oil was upgraded in a batch laboratory-scale pressure reactor under 800 psi (cold) hydrogen gas at 350−365 °C using non-alkaline, nontoxic FexOy/SiO2/TiO2 catalyst [reduced red mud (RRM)] obtained by the reduction of with HOAc/HCCOH. The liquid separated into stable organic and aqueous phases. Comparative analyses between crude oil phases products showed that RRM-upgraded is composed fewer carbonyl-containing polar oxygenated compounds but more saturated hydrocarbons....
