This book was released on 2013-03-19 with total page 607 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Role of Catalysis for the Sustainable Production of Bio-fuels and Bio-chemicals describes the importance of catalysis for the sustainable production of biofuels and biochemicals, focused primarily on the state-of-the-art catalysts and catalytic processes expected to play a decisive role in the "green" production of fuels and chemicals from biomass. In addition, the book includes general elements regarding the entire chain of biomass production, conversion, environment, economy, and life-cycle assessment.

Download or read book Synthesis of Biofuel written by Samuel B. Hansen and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biomass to biofuel process requires both initial conversion or densification of raw biomass followed by an upgrading step which can address high oxygen content, low hydrogen content, and stability prior to being considered petroleum compatible in a traditional refinery for processing into gasoline or diesel. Processing strategies exist with the goal of developing biofuels independently of petroleum product, though co-processing or refining is considered as the most viable path to commercialization. Upgrading processes are intensive, thus addressing issues to commercialization of biomass based biofuel can be accomplished through optimization of existing conversion i.e., CFP, and altering are development of new methods to treat bio-oil for aforementioned issues. The paper herein presents methods for addressing CFP optimization in various ways: via cyber physical modeling and application of AI methodology to solve complex issues and chemical reactions, in additional to outlining existing bio-oil treatments and experimenting with catalytic transfer hydrogenation and blending as a means for upgrading, or in the case of blending, skipping the upgrading process altogether. Both biomass to bio-oil conversion, and post conversion upgrading processes represent a major stumbling block to commercialization and success of 2nd generation biofuels as a whole, thus addressing both steps in the supply chain represents a significant gain in advancing the state of technology of the biofuel production process. The research presented herein aims to outline the existing state of technology, and provides several mechanisms for addressing the deficiencies both qualitatively and analytically. In addition to innovative advancements in biofuel production, Appendix B and C outline potential ways to optimize biomass to bio-oil conversion using AI and integrated system design.

Download or read book Catalytic Upgrading of Biomass Through the Hydrodeoxygenation HDO of Bio oil Derived Model Compounds written by Manish Shetty and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lignocellulosic biomass is an attractive renewable source for fuels and chemicals. Of the many conversion alternatives, catalytic fast pyrolysis has emerged as an attractive technology to convert biomass into fuel additives and value-added chemicals. Current pyrolysis oils or bio-oils are incompatible with refinery streams due to their high acid, water, and water content. The key roadblock in its commercial exploitation is development of catalytic platforms for selective deoxygenation along with minimum hydrogen consumption and carbon loss. Current catalytic solutions including zeolites, and conventional hydrotreating catalysts employ high hydrogen pressures, leading to aromatic ring hydrogenation, and hydrogen consumption. This thesis focusses on developing fundamental catalytic understanding on cheaper and earth-abundant reducible transition metal oxide catalysts for selective hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of bio-oil derived model compounds using reactivity, computation and characterization studies. The first section focuses on developing structure-reactivity relationships on bulk and supported MoO3 catalysts for the HDO of lignin-derived model compounds. Characterization reveals that MoO3 undergoes reduction to catalytically inactive MoO2 at a temperature of 673 K, and stabilization of partially reduced MoO3 surface through its partial carburization to oxycarbide phase (MoOxCyHz) at temperatures

Download or read book Developments in Thermochemical Biomass Conversion written by A.V. Bridgwater and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 1630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been many developments in the science and technology of thermo chemical biomass conversion since the previous conference on Advances in Thermochemical Biomass Conversion in Interlaken, Switzerland, in 1992. This fourth conference again covers all aspects of thermal biomass conversion systems from fundamental research through applied research and development to demon stration and commercial applications to reflect the progress made in the last four years. All aspects of bioenergy systems are covered from pretreatment through to end-user applications with increased consideration paid to the environmental benefits and problems of implementing bio-energy systems. There was an excellent response with over 200 papers offered and over 180 delegates from 29 countries attending the conference. The programme was divided into five main areas covering pyrolysis, pretreatment, gasification, combustion and system studies and this division is reflected in the structure of these conference proceedings. Each main section was preceded by a state-of-the-art review to provide a focus for the ensuing presentations and an authoritative reference. All the papers included have been subject to a full peer review process. As with any international conference, an important aim was to exchange ideas and discuss problems with fellow researchers, as well as to hear about the latest research and development and applications. A workshop programme was included to encourage this interaction in areas of interest selected by participants. The resul tant workshop reports provide a summary of topical problems and opportunities.
