This study analyzes catalytic fast pyrolysis as a conversion technology for mixed plastic waste, highlighting key economic and environmental drivers potential opportunities process improvements.
This work examines the feasibility of a greenfield mixed plastics waste gasification facility with process modeling, TEA, and LCA.
A parametric study of the gasification four feedstocks (corn stover, switchgrass, wheat straw, and wood) has been performed on an experimental, pilot-scale (0.5 ton/day) facility. comparison was made performance gasifier as a function feedstock, in terms syngas production composition. In these experiments, pelletized feedstock used, so that shapes sizes materials did not influence results. total 22 statistically designed experimental conditions were examined for each including effects...
Bifunctional fixed-bed catalysts improve CFP performance.
Ex situ catalytic fast pyrolysis of biomass is a promising route for the production fungible liquid biofuels. There significant ongoing research on design and development catalysts this process. However, there are limited number studies investigating process configurations their effects biorefinery economics. Herein we present conceptual with techno-economic assessment; it includes upgraded bio-oil via fixed bed ex followed by final hydroprocessing to hydrocarbon fuel blendstocks. This study...
Abstract Numerous routes are being explored to lower the cost of cellulosic ethanol production and enable large‐scale production. One critical area is development robust cofermentative organisms convert multiple, mixed sugars found in biomass feedstocks at high yields titers without need for processing remove inhibitors. Until such microorganisms commercialized, challenge design processes that exploit current microorganisms' strengths. This study various process configurations tailored take...
This work describes a technoeconomic analysis of the feasibility making gasoline using biomass-derived syngas that was completed at National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The process includes following steps: (1) biomass gasification woody residues, which produces rich in hydrogen and carbon monoxide; (2) cleanup by means tar reforming scrubbing, followed removal acid gases; (3) synthesis methanol from clean passing it over copper/zinc oxide/alumina catalyst; (4) conversion to ZSM-5...
Partial deoxygenation of bio-oil by catalytic fast pyrolysis with subsequent coupling and hydrotreating can lead to improved economics will aid commercial deployment pyrolytic conversion biomass technologies.
Abstract This techno‐economic study investigates the production of ethanol and a higher alcohols coproduct by conversion lignocelluosic biomass to syngas via indirect gasification followed gas‐to‐liquids synthesis over precommercial heterogeneous catalyst. The design specifies processing capacity 2,205 dry U.S. tons (2,000 metric tonnes) woody per day incorporates 2012 research targets from NREL other sources for technologies that will facilitate future commercial cost‐competitive ethanol....
